You will be picked at your hotel in a private tuktuk and wind your way through the narrow streets and alleys within the Xi’an City Wall to find the best food in the city. We will start you off with a selection of our specially blended leaf and herbal teas and then take you places where only locals go. You’ll cover a lot of ground and get off the beaten path to family-run restaurants that you (and other tourists) won’t find on your own. Between food stops, you’ll be able to chat with your English speaking guide while you watch the city go by.
While visiting our 4-5 food stops, you will get to learn about the families that have been making their specialties for generations. You’ll watch your food being made and learn about what makes it so special to Xian. Try fresh bread cooked by heated rocks, watch fried beef pancakes made to order right in front of you, and pull your own noodles by hand; this will be the best food you try during your visit!
Between food stops, we'll take a short walk through Xian's largest market that sprawls within Xian's Muslim Quarter every morning. Along with a huge variety of local produce, it's also common to find local honey, handmade noodles, dried herbs, and tea. We also visit with some talking birds and an old man who raises insects for a living.
The tour will finish at a convenient location within the Xian City Wall where you can continue your day of sightseeing.
