Tianjin Guided Day Tour to Tianjin Downtown with Lunch

This full-day guided tour is booked through GetYourGuide-affiliated operators and departs from central Beijing, with pickup available within the Third Ring Road before the group transfers to the East Entrance of Beijing South Railway Station for a round-trip high-speed train to Tianjin. Once in the city, an English-speaking guide leads visits to the Haihe River waterfront, the Jiefang Bridge, the former foreign concession quarters, the Five Great Avenues (Wudadao) villa district, and Italian Style Town, a former Italian concession area with early-20th-century European architecture. Along the route the group samples local street food, and a sit-down lunch of Tianjin dishes is included partway through the day; the street-food tastings tend toward savoury snacks, with the lunch providing the main balance of the meal rather than a separate dessert course. Covered in the price: round-trip high-speed train tickets, the Beijing hotel/meeting-point transfer, the guided sightseeing stops, the street-food tastings, and the lunch; not covered are personal purchases, additional drinks, and gratuities for the guide and driver. The tour runs as a shared group rather than a private booking, so pace is set for the group as a whole, and the guide speaks English throughout; dietary needs for the lunch can generally be noted at the time of booking.
