Xi'an was the capital of China for more than a thousand years, and its food is as rich as its history, best known for its many wheat-based dishes and local specialties. On this private 3-hour dinner tour, a local guide takes you through the city's back streets to small family-run eateries where Xi'an people actually eat.

As you walk, you'll taste more than 10 local dishes. Highlights include the famous Xi'an "Chinese hamburger" (roujiamo), crispy chicken or sweet-and-sour fish, meat rolls, flavorful vegetarian dishes and sizzling BBQ skewers. There are also plenty of dishes you may never have heard of. Local beer and soft drinks are included throughout the evening.

Since the tour is private, the pace, portions and spice level can all be adjusted to suit your group. It's a relaxed and tasty way to get a feel for everyday life in old Xi'an.
