Calligraphy and Dumplings Bejiing Leo’s China Tour with the gorgeous Helena Han

Helena Han was an amazing guide, I took my 10 & 11 year old, the tour was a gorgeous insight into the culture of Beijing. We all loved it, superb for a Mum on her own developing the children’s cultural awareness. Wonderful and thank you 🙏

AMAZING!!!

This was the absolute best tour we took during our 10 day stay in China! We took 6 different tours and this one, hands down blew all the others away. Sitting in the homes of these Beijingers, first in our master calligraphers home learning about his craft, being treated like house guests, and then doing calligraphy was amazing. But then if that wasn't a perfect experience, we go to another Hutong area, go to the local market to see what ingredients were purchased for our dumpling making class, and then be welcomed like family into our next hosts home. There, we learned how to make dumplings (a lot of them) and then was treated to a FEAST ... not just the dumplings we made but several additional dishes of authentic Chinese food. Our guide, SUSAN, was perfectly amazing. She was prompt, knowledgeable, funny, attentive, and overall, super good at her job. HIGHLY recommend doing this tour with Leo's Beijing Tour group and ask for SUSAN ... you will NOT be disappointed!
