Chengdu Food Tour With Tuktuk

The capital of the Chinese province of Sichuan, Chengdu is a 2,400-year-old city famous for its spicy and flavorful regional food. Meet your English-speaking guide at an easy-to-find central location in Chengdu and wind your way through the streets and communities of Chengdu in a private tuk-tuk to discover incredible local dishes in this UNESCO city of gastronomy. You will have access to over 10 authentic dishes at a combination of sit-down restaurants and street stalls during this one-of-a-kind guided tasting tour to find the best food in the city.

• Guided local join-in food tour of Chengdu in a private tuk-tuk
• Discover off-the-beaten path eateries that tourists never visit
• Sample classic Sichuan dishes at four different food stops and a local bar

Your guide takes you to eateries that locals love. Cover a lot of ground, and go off the beaten path to family-run restaurants that most travelers couldn't find on their own. Between food stops, chat with your guide about the city while drinking unlimited chilled beer and soda during the ride.

While visiting 4 food stops, hear stories about the families that have been making their specialties for generations. Watch food being made and learn about what makes it so special to Chengdu locals. Whether it's enjoying hand-made dumplings in the chef's house, braving the spicy dishes Sichuan is famous for, or sampling some of Chengdu's most popular street snacks, there's something for everyone to try. Happily fed, you’ll end the evening over drinks with locals in a popular bar.
