Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I had a great experience on that tour.
You basically wander in small alleys in Old Suzhou and eat at very tiny little restaurants along the way. Great for picture taking and for eating local dishes.
I will definitely bring friends from out of town with me on this tour.

What an experience to discover Suzhou! Joy took us on an adventure, helping us discover parts of the ancient city we would never find ourselves. Her knowledge and understanding of the area was incredible and we loved every second of it. You simply can’t find these places to eat on your own as a tourist. This is my second Lost Plate tour after an equally amazing experience in Shanghai. I’m so glad I chose to do both!

Just got back from the Suzhou Food tour completely stuffed and in a food coma. We visited at least 6 places trying different noodles, dumplings, soya milk and fried bread and finishing the tour with a coffee. In between restaurants we meandered through alleyways and streets absorbing the local life.
I really enjoyed the food and tried out ones that I wouldn't normally order. Lostplate were really accommodating to peoples' dietary requirements. Come hungry and pace yourself, you cannot finish all the food during the tour for sure, which is such a shame, but definitely can try them!

The tour of Suzhou old town, the rich history of the city, expertly narrated by our guide Tom, the delicious food, made for a memorable experience. I look forward to doing more food tours - Shanghai and Xian.
Thank you so much Lost Plate for the Food Tour.

Best walking tour we have ever done. Gloria was incredible guide. Not only was her English perfect, her local knowledge & way she conveyed it to us was priceless. The kids & I felt very comfortable with her. The food places & food were all so yummy & interesting. Big tip: Dont eat too much at first place, as you need to leave room for the other places.

The Suzhou brunch tour provided a perfect introduction to Suzhou, walking through the old town, along the canals and past hidden gardens. We enjoyed six dishes, all Suzhou specialities served in a wide range of restaurants from tiny back street stalls to a modern chain. All the food was delicious. Our guide Hami was friendly and knowledgeable and happily answered all our questions about the food and Suzhou.

I have lived in Suzhou for 3 years，but I am still a newbie when it comes to local food. I learned a lot and went to some new places. My favorite food was the Suzhou style noodles with shrimp. I highly recommend this tour.

Having been on a Lost Plate food tour in Phnom Penh earlier in the year, I was absolutely delighted to find the newly launched Suzhou equivalent.
I hoped that, as it was my last day in Suzhou after living there for nearly a year, it would be a memorable experience.
I wasn't disappointed...
Agnes and Emily were very attentive hosts and made sure everyone had everything they needed.
The food was fantastic and quite varied, a lot of work had obviously been put into selecting top quality yet authentic restaurants.
The coffee shop at the end was quite a find too - a fitting end to an excellent tour and my stay in Suzhou.
In fact I've promised to take my Chinese friend in Xi'an on the Xi'an tour when I next pay her a visit.
TLDR, just do it - you won't regret it, even if you think you know Suzhou food.

The tour leads through the old town with a nice park and a lot of amazing Suzhou style food, such as noodle soup, donuts rolled in a pancake with soya milk, jiaozi and tofu dumpling, wonton soup. I couldn't really say which one my favorite was, because all dishes were unique and super delicious we haven't eaten it before. The coffee house was the perfect ending with its cold coffee creations. We had a great time with our guide, Joy and enjoyed the tour very much.

Our tour guide, Gloria, was very knowledgeable. She had personal stories of Suzhou which made the tour all the better. She described the food in great detail at each stop. All the food was very good! We are adventurous eaters so we enjoyed it all! Gloria was wonderful!
