Overview

This is not another walking tour. These small group tours whisk you off the beaten path by private tuktuk and offer unlimited beer and soda while you and your English speaking guide watch the city pass by. You will eat where the locals eat at small, family-run businesses and try the best local food at places you can’t find on your own. After 3-4 hours, you will finish at local bar to try some rice wine or beer with the locals!

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Chengdu, Chengdu, Sichuan

There are a million reasons Chengdu is an international food destination. It’s a UNESCO city of gastronomy. It’s the most popular Chinese cuisine in China. It has the highest per-capita ratio of restaurants in all of China. And at the same time, visitors know very little about food in Chengdu.

Travel by tuktuk and encounter spots you could never find on your own for a mix of street food, sit-down restaurants, and family-run joints:

Chengdu Street Crepes: This classic local street food comes in one of 4 flavor profiles: sweet, salty, spicy, and strange at a street-stall-turned-shop.

Sichuan-style Wontons: Learn why locals call them “Chaoshou,” at a family restaurant where they’re made to order.

All the Noodles: Originally served on the street by men who carried the ingredients around on bamboo poles, Dandan noodles are possibly the OG hawker dish.

Classic Sichuan Dishes: Sample local delicacies like Mapo Tofu (there’s plenty of not-so-spicy dishes here too).​

Duration: 3 hours

Stop At: Chengdu, Chengdu, Sichuan

End the night trying house-made plum wine in a 70s-80s themed bar that captures a unique turning point in China’s history. The bar is a 10 minute walk to the nearest subway station.

Duration: 30 minutes

Had a great time on this tour with our guide George and the other guests. I was only in Chengdu a couple of nights so didn't really have time to explore the food scene by myself. This tour provided a great intro to what Chengdu food is about with some history behind the why's. Two of us had dietary restrictions which were swapped out as needed with another option (still incredibly tasty!) If you're short on time, or just want to be shown the "good stuff" without having to wade through all the options then give this tour a try. You'll be ready for the food coma at the end!

Great food tour with Fiona. She was energetic and her English was excellent. She took us to so many local spots that we would never have found our own. The food was more than plentiful and delicious. Make sure you show up hungry. Would highly recommend!

Daisy made the evening educational as well as tasty! All we had to do was relax and enjoy! I thoroughly enjoyed the night and would do the tour again the next time I am in Chengdu.

We were only in town for a brief time, but we got the perfect tour. Our guide grew up here, and therefor knew all the history and all the best food spots. And they did not skimp on the food! All amazing, all bountiful. Highly recommend.
