The tour was well organized, the communication from Catherine Lu Tours and my guide Rosa was phenomenal. This was exactly the street food guide I was looking for.
I learnt a lot about the history of the food, and got to access and try a ton of food I wouldn’t have ever gotten to try—even if I used TikTok or Instagram recommendations.
This tour was truly local. A lot of other food guides will take you to very touristy areas, and I’ve done many food tours before; on this tour I got to see back alley street vendors, and was truly the only foreigner in any of the restaurants we visited.
If you are a solo traveler, or maybe a traveler on a budget you could be hesitant to book this, but I’d highly recommend doing so as it was my highly of my time in Xi’an. Yes the Terracotta Warriors are amazing, but with this tour you get to see such an authentic version of the city, meet local people, and try local foods—it’s truly the whole beautiful part of traveling.
If you are on the fence, I highly highly recommend you book this tour, it isn’t a mass done huge group tour where the guide is getting kick backs from the vendors, it’s an authentic and once in a lifetime experience.

Abundant in the local area
Rosa was our guide, she adapted perfectly and made sure that we tried things different from what we had already tried. She explained everything we asked her with very good English. The portions are very generous so I advise not to eat anything beforehand.

Xi'an old town food tour with Rosa.
Rosa was an excellent guide and is very knowledgeable about the food culture of Xi'an. We visited seven different cafes, stalls and independent restaurants in the old town. All tucked away and many only known to locals including the oldest Muslim restaurant in the city, which is famed for its extraordinary and delicious 'soup dumplings'. We also enjoyed two types of local noodles, skewers, pastries, buns, other local specialities and finished with freshly squeezed pomegranate juice. As well as telling us about each dish. Rosa also explained how to eat them all! It was great fun to walk through the back streets from place to place. We even came across robot street theatre in a tiny square. A really memorable experience. Thanks Rosa and Catherine Lu.

Tasty food with a great guide Rosa
The food tour was a great way to be introduced to the Xian flavors & local dining for people who mostly know Chinese cuisine from Europe. From street sitting to smaller local restaurants, our guide Rosa showed us the local specialties, flavors and food scene by visiting around a few spots within 20min walking distance over <3h tour. She was very knowledgeable, patient and attentive to the needs & questions from adults & kids. It was also great to hear her perspecting on how local families manage with food, school meals, etc to understand better Xian living on top of trying out excellent local dishes.

Elith was such a good and fun guide on this food tour in Xi’An. We tried so many different types of food, in a part of town where locals go, all very recommended and authentic spots. We had good conversations and jokes and we leant a lot about Chinese culture. We left very happy and satisfied

Delicious Authenic Food
Rosa was very good. Tailored the food to my preference. Would have given me more if I wasn't so full. A good variety of foods from local restaurants avoiding tourist spots. Helped me order the DiDi.
