Eat Well and Meet the City of Xi'an

Monet_T, May 2021

This was a great experience and great way to see a lot of Xi'an in a short time. Michelle was an excellent guide with an upbeat attitude and lots of knowledge about the food and the city. My favorite dishes were the gourd chicken and the dumplings. I also happened to love our tuk tuk driver and it was nice as a solo traveler to meet up with other foreigners.

Great adventure

Janice_B, Nov 2019

Excellent way to try numerous street food offerings and ends at a great brewery right beyond the old city wall. Felt safe and loved hearing about the different foods and getting a good sampling of everything. Highly recommend this tour.

Great tour and food was amazing

Jody_R, Oct 2019

We were picked up on time and Harry was our guide and he was awesome. Would highly recommend this tour to everyone.

This was a blast!

LoveTravel75427542, Oct 2019

This is a must do if you like great food and a fun experience. My father and I did this in September 2019 and it's something we'll talk about for years to come... fun fun fun!

Fun ride through the streets of Xi-an and food sampling.

James_T, Sep 2019

What a fun evening tasting new foods of Xi-an. Our guide Ann, was the best. We got lost getting to the start of the tour, but she worked with us on the phone, found us a few blocks away, and then took us to the rest of the group and we were off. We had 4 food stops, and a final Pub Stop. All the food was great. Noodle Making and Tasting was our favorite, although all of it was good. The TukTuk was a blast, and a great first night to explore the city.

Great food experience

Carlos P, Sep 2019

We booked this tour as we know it would be hard to get to the hidden places in Xi’an without knowing any Chinese, and really wanted to try authentic food. Harry was a fantastic guide, food was amazing (was a lot of food so pace it hehe). Tuk tuk is fun and quick way to get around. And best of all greeted with beers on the go .... and closed with a pint in a local brewery.

Fantastic trip as a snapshot of the food story of Xi'an

YeanFai_L, Sep 2019

The trip was really nice and well organized. The host, Harry was exceptionally sweet and accommodating of everyone's needs. He was pleasant all through the trip and very gracious. He walked us through the food, anticipated every need and guided us very well. There was so much food that we couldn't think of eating any more after that. And this is after missing the standard Xi'an classics of the lamb paomo and the sweet rice.

Good food but felt rushed.

Justys_it_is, Aug 2019

The food on the tour was good. You get to try local food from four different places that you wouldn’t normally find yourself as they are well hidden and known to locals. Felt a little rushed by the tour Gide like she was in a hurry to finish the tour.

This was a fantastic experience, our guide even catered for vegetarians! I had a great time, and will do again!

Good foody experience

Aymon_B, Jul 2018

Amanda was a great guide. She took us to 4 good stops in the muslum area and a brewery. The food was all delicious and places we would never have found on our own. Highly recommend!

Amazing Tour - Don't Miss It!

Michael_O, Jun 2018

This was by far one of my favorite things I did in Xi'an. We sampled delicious food all over the city and really enjoyed riding around in the Tuk Tuks. We never would have found these places on our own. Fey and Bo were excellent guides and taught us much more about the city than food! I highly highly recommend this tour to all! You won't regret it!

Lee E, Apr 2018

Tuk tuk tours are an amazing way to see the city and taste great food! Out of all of the tours I did this one is the best! The noodles were amazing and it was great to see less touristy restaurants/food vendors in the Muslim district

This was a really fun evening...

George_S, Apr 2018

This was a really fun evening. Riding through the alleyways of the Muslim Quarter in the TukTuk was a hoot! Our delightful guide, Jerry, shared lots of insights about the culture, and history and food. Eating with the locals enabled us to experience some of the real China. Lots of delicious food. By the last stop we were all too full to eat any more!

The tour took us to the back streets...

Indri P, Jan 2018

The tour took us to the back streets of the Muslim quarter and we visited 5 different stalls/restaurants. All of the dishes we tasted were delicious and unique. Our tour guide Rosemary was very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!

John G, Nov 2017

If you like something a little different then this is for you. From racing through truly narrow streets in Tuk Tuks to trying food in places you otherwise might not into, this tour was lots of fun. It exposed us to areas on Xi'an we hardly knew existed. Highly recommended.

Excellent tour. Stopped in many places and sampled the local cuisine. Beer was cold :-. Met lots of nice folks from all over the world. Come hungry as there is plenty of goodies to go around.

William_S, Oct 2017

We did many tours in Beijing and Xi'an - this was by far the best. It was a really insider tour of the Muslim district away from the tourist areas. Cannot recommend this enough!

Jason R, Sep 2017

this was an excellent trip. It's a mix of walking and tuk tuk, with walking being fairly short. The trip is also split between the Muslim part of the Night Market and the non-Muslim part. The standard trip wouldn't be an awesome for vegetarians at least the one we took wouldn't be nearly every dish had ground meat. The food was all excellent, and really wasn't things I'm familiar with in the US, and I eat a lot of Asian food here. the only things I'd had before were the Xiao long bao and egg flower soup at one restaurant. Our guide Rosemary was a really good chaperone, moving things along and explaining things well. It was a pleasant evening and one I'd happy repeat.

We really enjoyed this tour, Iris...

Brenda L, Aug 2017

We really enjoyed this tour, Iris our guide did a great job explaining what we were eating and the story behind the people making our food. She was very helpful and was considerate of everyone's needs. Riding around in a tuktuk was a great way to get around !

I am happy that I chose to do this...

Fidedigna C, May 2017

I am happy that I chose to do this guided tour instead of just walk about the neighborhood selecting dishes here and there. The tuk tuks took us over many small streets and much smaller alleys that we would have never discovered on our own. Our guide, Rosemery, knew her stuff, the little details about the dishes and the neighborhood itself. She was very attentive to our needs and curiosity. My wife has a severe intolerance to some types of foods but she made changes and suggestions to the selection of dishes and made sure that we have a great evening.
