Our family had a great time with our lovely guide Amber. Amber is great. She is very knowledgeable and knows everything about Hutongs. We took the rickshaw around the beautiful lake and watched drum show. She also bought us the famous local food buns for us. We really enjoyed it. Highly recommend this tour with Amber.
