Xi'an City Wall
You will meet at an easy-to-find central location and then wind your way through the narrow streets and alleys by tuktuk within the Xi’an City Wall to find the best food in the city. We’ll 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 about the city while drinking unlimited chilled beer and soda during the ride.
Muslim Quarter
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 locals. Whether it’s sitting by an old man grilling meat over coals in a quaint Muslim Quarter alleyway, or watching noodles hand-pulled to order, there is something to try for everyone. The tour will finish at the only local brewery in Xian where you can tour the facility and sample what’s on tap before we treat you to a pint of your choice.

We had a great time on this evening good tour - visiting the Muslim quarter was fascinating and got to experience lots of interesting food in very different restaurants and food outlets. Our guide Amber was great and we had a great day at the terracotta warriors with her too. Our tuk tuk driver was fab too. Has such a great time that we signed up for a breakfast tour in Beijing.

Great experience on this for your. All dishes were excellent and put your guide was very engaging. Biang bang noodles and gourd chicken were my highlighters.

Second time I have done this tour, the last being in 2019. Still great food and great fun. This time my wife was able to join me and we both enjoyed the tour very much. Ken is a great guide and made it really interesting, not just the food but telling us a bit about the local history. Ms Ma, our redoubtable Tuk Tuk driver, calmly and safely guided us through the mayhem of big streets and narrow alleyways. All in all a wonderful night out; strongly recommend!

Must do if you’re in Xi’an!! Food is the best we have had on any tour and Amber was a fantastic guide! Our driver and the tuk tuk ride was also such a fun way to see the city. We had sooooo much food!

Amber was brilliant; full of interesting facts, great food and the tuk-tuks were a blast!! Our driver (a lovely Muslim woman) just laughed at us clambering in and out and then drove like an F1 driver. Highly recommend this tour. Haven't laughed that much for ages.

This is a terrific tour and "Johny" was great. He was super helpful and very knowledgeable. The tuk-tuks are fun and make the distances and alleyways easy to navigate. Highly recommend.

The Tour was amazing! Diehl was so knowledgeable. The food was delicious but knowing the history was great. Highly recommend. Xian’s food has so much history and the tastes so varied. I also liked how at the end we went to a bar and had a drink together. We met some people from all parts of the world

All of the lost plate food tours are fabulous. Amber was very informative and we went to some lovely places that I wouldn't usually visit. I highly recommend
