Overview
This is a fully private Chengdu food tour for your group only — no mixed tour groups and no other travelers joining your booking.

Where possible, your English-speaking host can adjust food choices, spice preferences and the pace of the evening to suit your group, making the experience more flexible and comfortable than a standard shared food tour.
Across around four carefully selected local food stops, enjoy a variety of Chengdu dishes and snacks while experiencing the city’s authentic neighbourhood food scene after dark.
Pricing is based on a private hosted experience.
Even for solo travelers, the tour includes a dedicated English-speaking host, tuk-tuk transport, a selection of local food tastings during the tour, and an experience adjusted where possible around your pace and food preferences.
