China Food Tours: Best Chinese Foodie Tours 2025

Hello, Chinese Foodies.

Have you ever wondered how much more vibrant and diverse Chinese cuisine is in its homeland compared to what you've tasted in your country? What hidden flavors and untold stories might each dish reveal? Beyond the familiar dishes like sweet and sour pork, Kung Pao chicken, or dim sum that you may have tasted in Chinatown, China offers a vast and diverse culinary map waiting to be explored.

Join in our China food tours where the flavors of China come to life. Discover the "Eight Great Cuisines" of China's culinary landscape, each a testament to the country's vast geography and rich cultural tapestry. Savor the bold, spicy flavors of Sichuan cuisine, and indulge in the delicate, fresh tastes of Cantonese cooking. From the hearty beef and lamb dishes of the northern regions, reflecting their colder climate, to the light and fresh seafood of the southern coast, every region tells a story through its food. Taste traditional festival foods like dumplings for the New Year and mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Experience cooking classes and marvel at the diversity of ingredients and techniques – from stir-frying to braising, and the intricate balance of flavors – sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami.

Our China food tours offer a unique experience that goes beyond the typical "visit a market and eat street food" approach. Led by knowledgeable guides, you will not only taste delicious food but also learn about the culture and stories behind each dish. Learn the secrets of authentic Chinese cooking in hands-on culinary sessions, crafting dishes that have been passed down through generations.

Join us on this China food tours of taste and tradition, where every bite tells a story, and every dish opens a door to China's rich cultural heritage. Book your spot on our Best Chinese Foodie Tours now, and get ready to taste the true essence of Chinese cuisine. Are you ready to discover the real China through its food?

Our agent Chia is simply the best

Our agent Chia is simply the best! She was in contact with us every step of the way from the time we committed to the Beijing - Xian - Chengdu - Lhasa - Shanghai tour. There was absolutely no stress with the entire tour ie. Pick ups, train/ plane tickets, payments. Each time Chia was able to answer any questions that we had almost immediately. The tour itself was great, met some really nice people from different parts of the world. Groups were a maximum of 12 so the guides were always very attentive - in Tibet, we only had 3 left in the group. We have travelled quite extensively but this is the first time we have engaged in a tour and it certainly did not disappoint. Highly recommended!

Exciting 17 Days China trips with many UNESCO World Heritage Sites

We have gone to China for an exciting 17-day travel covering 10 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, something for a lifetime. Trip was a personalized and was well planned, coordinated and executed by Catherine Wang. We were truly amazed by her patience for nearly 2 months to communicate with us, answering our queries and plan this whole trip.
As for the trip, it went well with the pick-up in Beijing and reorganizing the Beijing sites visit when there was the 80 years celebration parade in Tiananmen square. Perfectly done and start with a bang.
We have travelled in places like Xi'an, Zhangjiajie, Chengdu, Dazu-Chongquing, Three Gorges Cruise, Yichang and finally end up in Shanghai. Every place was magnificent specially those we visited.
In every place we have the comfort due to knowledgeable guides and efficient drivers. They played a fantastic role in the whole 17 days of our trip in China.
Our heartfelt regards to tour organizer Catherine Wang for managing such a fantastic tour of a lifetime. We will definitely pursue more visits in the coming years.

Destination(s): Xian, Chengdu/Sichuan, Zhangjiajie, YangtzeRiver, Chongqing

Flawless Trip Planning, Great Guides, and Big Savings

We relied on this agency to organize a 22-day trip to China, covering Shanghai, Zhangjiajie, Chengdu, Guilin, Xi’an, Pingyao, and Beijing. From the very beginning, Isaac, our travel consultant, proved to be extremely helpful: once we shared the cities we wanted to visit and the itinerary we had in mind, he immediately structured the entire journey, carefully arranging transfers from airport/train station and in the cities, guided tours, hotels, train tickets, and entry passes to various attractions and landmarks. Thanks to his support, planning was smooth and collaborative.
Once in China, all the guides we met along the way turned out to be knowledgeable, reliable, and friendly. Besides assisting us during the tours, they also gave us great tips for the evenings, which we had chosen to keep free in order to explore the cities on our own. This balance between guidance and independence made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
After comparing notes with friends who traveled to China with other agencies, we realized that our experience with Asia Odyssey was not only organized with greater care and attention, but also allowed us to save quite a lot compared to other options.
