This Beijing Bike Tour is a must for any visitor to the Northern capital. Delightfully on a bicycle, we discover what makes this metropolis so special. It is a city of extremes, of communism and capitalism, of rich and poor, of history and future, of craftsmanship and of innovation. It is the best-preserved imperial city in the world with impressive sights like the Forbidden City. Discover all this on a two-wheeler!

The Beijing Bike Tour is the excursion to discover the real Beijing. The local guide has lived in this capital of China for years and knows what you must have seen during your visit. The tour is about 3 hours and is truly an unforgettable experience. You will get an insider’s look at daily life in this incredible Chinese city. Let us take you on a journey of discovery by bike, where we will tell you everything you need to know about this metropolis.

The cycle tour route passes through the Dongcheng district, mainly through the hutongs, Beijing’s old neighbourhoods. You’ll cycle past the other locations, but you won’t actually go into them.

Note: From November 15 to March 1, we have a modified route due to the cold. The bike route is a little shorter, but instead there is an entrance ticket to the City Planning Center included in the tour. Here you go inside with the guide.

We had a super fun bike tour through Beijing; it was great to see a number of highlights in a short time and experience what it is like to cycle in such a busy city. Definitely recommended!

Beijing by bike is the best way to explore the city. Wendy, our tourguide knows a lot about the history and also showed us some places we would not have seen otherwise. Would definitely recommend this tour.

We had a very nice bike ride through Beijing. The guide showed us some of the highlights in the right speed, details and timing. Visit to a local market was also very interesting

Overal great tour, very enjoyable, but two suggestions: * it would be great if everybody would receive one bottle of water before leaving - now some of us had to buy one on the way. Not very customer friendly. * I was also surprised that there were no helpers, just one guide in front. Other cycling tours in other cities always provide helpers, cycling at the end of the line (and in the middle as well if it is a large group). They can help crossing the big streets, wait with the last ones at traffic lights etc.
