Tasty Thrills Not to Forget!

Bethany_H, May 2024

Johnny & Kat are the perfect guides. This tour is authentic Thai food to a T! Learning about the different types of food and flavors was easy and engaging. Come hungry because we tried 19 dishes! Do not leave Bangkok without experiencing this one!!

Don’t hesitate to book!

emma_G, Apr 2024

We absolutely loved this tour with Kwah. My partner wasn’t that keen but came along because I wanted to go and he’s been raving about it since! We both had a great time and now feel so much more confident eating in the back streets and small eateries of Bangkok and Chinatown. There was SO much delicious food and the tour was great value for money.

Don’t eat beforehand!

Scott_S, Apr 2024

Amazing experience! Delicious food! A LOT of food! If anything it could be 1-2 fewer stops as it is a lot of food. The highlight was the mango sticky rice!

Great experience!

Courtney_P, Apr 2024

We had a really fun walking food tour and tried many delicious foods. It was great to try things that we would not have tried otherwise. We also were able to eat the best and Michelin rated food stands. It was great that we had someone for the tour as the guide but also a second person to prepare the tables ahead of time. I recommend this tour! Come hungry!

Do it don't hesitate and don't eat beforehand

Antonio_M, Apr 2024

Best time with Ant and Ped -- fantastic guides! Don't skip this tour ESPECIALLY on a weekend night like Fri-Sun the streets are buzzing with locals and the energy is palpable.

No regrets

ettomczak, Apr 2024

Come hungry. It was a great experience The tour guides were very friendly and explained how real Thai eat.

This should be first on your list of things to do

Eric_S, Apr 2024

First off let me say our tour guide Fon was amazing. Very knowledgable, a lot of fun and a great sense of humor. The tour was a treat. Ever would have found half of the places we went. I have already booked friends for this tour. A must do.

Best introduction to Bangkok’s food scene

Alyssa_C, Apr 2024

This food tour was AWESOME! We did this our first night in Bangkok and it was a perfect introduction to the city. If you are overwhelmed by the thought of tackling Chinatown this tour will be a great fit for you. Our tour guide and runner were amazing and created a wonderful experience for us. At each stop on our tour they had organized a space for our group to sit down and enjoy the food, as well as frequently providing cold water bottles. All the stops on the tour were unique and gave us a new perspective on Thai cuisine. It was so nice to have guidance on what food carts and shops to go to and to have everything paid for in advance. So worth it!!

Like their shirts say: Eat, eat, repeat

Jkawbau, Apr 2024

This was an amazing excursion. Our guide Bew was great and her helper Ohm ran ahead to make sure we got tables, even when there was a line outside. All of the food choices were great and I think we had 22 items.

Highly recommended!!

leroysequeira, Mar 2024

Prepare to EAT!! Our guide, Nuss was warm, friendly, and quite informative! She was patient allowing us to take photos and laughed at most of us when we started getting full around food #7, only 8+ more to go!! The food is varied and showcases various types of Thai dishes and in various settings. You may eat family style at a restaurant or you might be standing in front of a jackfruit stand sampling… frankly the foods were delicious! The route was well planned, though we were all getting quite full, we roughed it out walking and being excited for the next meals!! I strongly recommend this tour, well worth exploring places you probably wouldn’t ever think of going to. Line bypass was a bonus, be curious about the foods and Nuss will go the extra mile for you! *pats full belly*

Many Tastes and Textures

Evan_K, Mar 2024

Tried 20 different foods! Many different tastes and textures, some merely interesting, others delicious. Wandered the back alleys of Bangkok’s Chinatown.

Discover food that locals enjoy!

Sonia_G, Mar 2024

Eat, eat, repeat. This is a culinary extravaganza. More than 15 tasters of fresh, local, and often hidden delights. Great for the taste buds and confidence. The tour encouraged us to try local food as the Thai people experience it.

Flavoursome, fun and fascinating

Laurie_H, Mar 2024

Friendly, funny and knowledgeable tour guide, amazing variety of food, huge portions, incredible flavours (and spice for those who can handle the heat!)..a great way to find hidden gems on the side streets of Bangkok.

Loved this food tour

Mia_P, Mar 2024

SO MUCH FOOD! COME HUNGRY! Guides are knowledgable and organized. Would recommend to anyone in the area!

Food coma

Elitsa_P, Mar 2024

Amazing food delights, big enough portions and every single place we ate at had history to tell. Phone and her assistant Bang were incredible in keeping us fed and happy!

Great night with terrific variety of food

Marg_L, Mar 2024

Wonderful guide Ant and assistant cat looked after us so well. Ant was very knowledgeable about the different foods and their history. Great variety of tastes. Good group. Lots of fun

Amazing food

Micah_F, Mar 2024

Annie was an incredible guide. She took us to the best places for food. I had the best Thai food experience! Armie was so helpful working behind the scenes. I truly will recommend this tour to all of my friends and family!

Nice street food experience in Chinatown

Emmanuelle_B, Mar 2024

Phon and Cat were wonderful in organizing the tasting stops for us. Phon is funny and makes the different stops so special, she explains to us the different dishes that we are going to taste, explains to us how to taste these dishes with their sauces. Cat rushes to reserve tables for us in the crowded restaurants of Chinatown so that we can sit down as soon as we arrive. We highly recommend this experience, especially when you arrive in Bangkok and don't know where to go for dinner.

Such an awesome time with TONS of food!!

Sparkle_S, Mar 2024

We had the most amazing time! Awesome food! Awesome tour guide and assistance! Learned and are sooooo much!!

Great Experience. Fantastic food.

Vincent_C, Mar 2024

This was a great street food tour around China Town. My wife is normally quite wary of this type of food but she loved it. So much variety and tasty food. Well organised, with a runner ahead organising the food order and tables as moved along, really slick. Tour guide (Uish) ?? spoke good english (sorry don't remember her name). Would highly recommend every time.
