About us

Beijing people, showing you Beijing.

We're a local agency with a simple belief: this city is extraordinary, and no visitor should miss it to a language barrier, a ticket line, or a tour bus with forty strangers.

Our story

Founded on hospitality, run by locals.

Real Beijing Tours is the English-language service of Beijing Red Phoenix International Travel Service, a licensed Beijing travel agency. We were built for one kind of traveler: the visitor from abroad who wants to see Beijing properly, in their own language, without the usual friction.

Over the years we've guided first-time visitors, multi-generation families, and business travelers with a single free day. What ties them together is what they tell us afterward — that having a real local guide changed the trip from sightseeing into understanding.

We keep our groups private, our guides fluent, and our itineraries honest. No commission-driven shopping stops. No mystery fees. Just your day, done well.
