What To Expect
Xi'an City Wall
Meet your experienced English-speaking local guide near Xi’an City Wall, travel off the beaten path in your own tuk-tuk, venturing into hidden streets and quaint alleyways within Xian’s city walls to find popular eateries. You will visit 4-5 sit-down eateries and street stalls, sit down next to locals as you sample a variety of dishes, plus a walk through a local market.
Muslim Quarter
See how Xian wakes up in the Muslim Quarter by tuktuk, taste what’s so special about breakfast in Xian by visiting family-owned restaurants and street stalls that are only open in the morning…they sell out before lunch. Start by visiting our favorite breakfast shop that only sells one thing, and watch your food prepared fresh to order. Walk through one of China’s oldest and largest markets to see what’s in season plus a surprising selection of pets, local art, and unique hand-made gifts. On your way to the market, stop by one of the area’s most popular street stalls for a sweet treat. We’ll keep the biggest surprise a secret until you see it for yourself!

5.00Great immersion into the morning taste buds and shopping of the locals. A great combination of walks and tuk tuk rides. The best was the grand finale of sour soup dumplings. Jane, the tour guide, was most helpful and knowledgeable in showing us around.

5.00We had a wonderful Sunday morning tour with Diehl, we had our 3 year old with us and it was very easy to manoeuvre around with the use of the Tuktuk. A great way to learn more about Xian’s food culture.
An outstanding food and market tour with Buren - must do in Xi'an!

5.00This tour was absolutely exceptional. Spending the morning with Buren was one of the highlights of our time in Xi’an (and China overall). He was friendly, knowledgeable and made the experience feel authentic. Visiting the morning markets with him gave us an insight into local life that we would never have gained by walking through on our own. His knowledge and love for the local food was evident, and we enjoyed everything he recommended we try. The pace was great, and the TukTuk allowed us to see lots in the 3 hours - it was a fantastic way to experience a different side of Xi’an. We would absolutely recommend this tour as a 'must-do' to anyone visiting the city.
You must book!
