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!

Chengdu

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).​

    The tour was amazing. We tasted so many different dishes from Sichuan cuisine, and we got to know the history of each one. The pacing was great, not too much food at once. One special note to the idea of giving the leftover food as takeout packages to the tuk tuk drivers, let's us enjoy the amount we want and not feel guilty about food waste. George was our guide and he did an awesome job at making us feel comfortable and welcome, going out of his way to provide impromptu food requests and to adjust spice levels for everyone. He also gave us recommendations for restaurants to try dishes not included in the tour that we were interested in, even from other regions of China. 10/10 would recommend.

    The staff is super friendly. Use google translate to communicate and they are super patient- they will try their best to help you out. We wanted to check out a day early due to last minute plan change and they accommodated our request without any issue. We took a mountain view room and the view was amazing! The room is spacious and the breakfast provided by the hotel is great

  • Delicious and fun experience

    Dishes were all pretty tasty. You can ask for not super spicy/mild. Chengdu is known for its spicy foods. Fiona, our tour guide was upbeat and fun.
