The tour was amazing, and we had a great time with Hilary, our guide! Good value for money with lots of tasty things to try along the way. The portions were a great size, too, and we left feeling very satisfied by the end. A good variety of foods and the walking and learning between stops helped to build up the appetite again. Hilary created a welcoming atmosphere, and her friendly personality helped make us all have a great time. Highly recommend as a way to see unique parts of Suzhou while also trying interesting foods.

This tour was the highlight of our visit in Suzhou! We loved discovering the local specialties, they were all so delicious. Hilary is an amazing guide. She cares for everyone in the group, has a great sense of humor, and even got some gifts for us :) you can tell she loves being a guide and meeting people from abroad. She also gave us recommendations for another restaurant in Tongli, which we also enjoyed tremendously.
Highly recommend

Thank-you Hilary! It was really special learning about Suzhou through this food tour. We had a great time chatting to you and learning about life and history of Suzhou. If I was to give feedback, I would love to hear more about the history of the foods and how it changed over time. We really enjoyed chatting to the chef about the bubble wontons and watching her make them.
Brilliant tour, brilliant guide!

Had such a brilliant time on this tour. The food we tried was amazing and so well thought out (even though we left completely stuffed), and Hilary - our tour guide - was absolutely brilliant. Not just was she super knowledgable and helpful, but she ended up helping us book a table at a restaurant that we’d been struggling to sort out ourselves! Can’t recommend this tour enough. Thank you Hilary!!
