This tour was excellent and met all of our expectations. The market tour was definitely something I would not have seen without this tour experience to guide me. We went to a local's family, the lady was very friendly and experienced in making noodles. Of all the tours and activities I did with my last trip to China, this was the most fun.

This was an absolutely fantastic tour. Anita was very informative and friendly, accommodated our needs and had a wealth of information to share about the family and Xian food culture. It was a great experience to make our own dumplings in a range of different styles at the end of it and can eat as many as you like. The cooking class was great for beginners, and you receive a recipe to follow when you are back home. Lots of fun!
