Can only be described as one of our all-time favourite travel memories. Particularly loved visit to private home, which was included in tour. Host fantastic; shared pot of tea, met her family. Thoroughly recommend.

Was supposed to visit Prince Gong's Mansion, but the tour guide didn't bring me there. Instead, I was brought to a tea house. Tour around Hutongs was a bit too short. May be better to do this as a walking tour, and include the services and facilities that residents provide and enjoy in the Hutongs.
