We had a tour with George. He was great, he found us some amazing places to eat. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour that he planned. We were able to try things that we wouldn’t have realised would be good to order. We were able to truly enjoy the local culture with a local. 10/10

This Tuktuk food tour was a fantastic way to experience Chengdu's amazing cuisine. We zipped around the city in a fun tuk-tuk, stopping at local eateries tourists wouldn't find on their own. The food was incredible, with a great mix of classic Sichuan dishes and some hidden surprises. Plus, our guide Fiona was super informative and friendly, sharing interesting tidbits about the city and its food culture. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an authentic Chengdu food experience!

The Food on this tour was amazing. Our guide Fiona was so knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions and know her stuff about the food in Chengdu. We had some excellent food including Ma Po Tofu which was one of our favorites. The only down side I found to this tour was that the tuktuk was a little cramped and it was a bit uncomfortable getting from place to place but we had some very tall people in our group. However this did not take away from the amazing food we had and I would still recommend this tour to everyone. At the end of the evening Fiona took us for plum wine and even taught us how to play mahjong which was fun.

We always like to do a food tour in every single city that we visit to allow us to enjoy the city like locals. Lost Plate food tours was definitely the right choice for us! The meeting point was easy to find. Jaz was our guide and she was amazing from the start. She met us with a cold beer in hand, and after waiting for the other guests to arrive, we headed towards our Tuktuk to start our culinary adventure. Every single stop on this food tour provided us with more food than we could eat, along with so much knowledge about each location. Jaz made sure to explain what each item that we were eating was, and provided us the history of the items we were eating, most of the foods were items that she ate growing up. At the end of the night, we all sat around sharing stories of our travels and had a great time getting to know each other. This is when we learned that this was only Jaz's 6th tour! She could have easily fooled us with how knowledgeable she was. She even went a step beyond and showed us the way back to the metro to get back to our hotel at the end of the night since she was heading in the same direction anyways and it made our trip back to the metro super easy! Would highly recommend this tour to anyone considering an evening filled of delicious food and memorable experiences. Chengdu and Sichuan are known for food, but this tour was excellent beyond the food!
