Toun Made This Food Tour Unforgettable! - friendly, enthusiastic, and full of positive energy. He really made the experience special. The small group made the tour very enjoyable, and the quality for the price was excellent. Every dish I tried was absolutely delicious. It was a great mix of discovering Lao food while also learning about the history of Luang Prabang.

A morning in the avenues and alleyways of food in Luang Prabang - Toun was a great guide on our morning tour of Luang Prabang's eateries and markets. A Chef's Tour started with bread and Lao coffee beside the Mekong River, before we proceeded to eat our way across Luang Prabang. Often with the help of tuk-tuks we tried chicken, coconut pancakes, sticky rice, noodles, dessert etc. My favourite was the khaozoy (noodle soup). We also explored the delights of the morning market. The knowledgeable Toun also explained about the history of Laos, the Golden Buddha. and the five rules to live your life by. We ended up having our own bread baked, the French way and having the pleasure of hearing Toun singing a duet with one of our number. All in all a fascinating and gentle tour. Highly recommended.

Really enjoyable and eye opening - Was just myself and my friend on the morning tour. Toen our guide was absolutely lovely and accommodating. Good value for money. We enjoyed the food and felt very relaxed overall. The whole thing took around 4 hours or so but it all flew by quickly. It was a combination of walking and tuktuk. I also learned a lot about Toen’s life in the countryside and their difficulties as a community.

Do this tour!!! - This was an incredible tour! Our guide was super sweet and knowledgeable. He took us to many places we'd never have found on our own. We had so many delicious dishes, a couple of unique ones, and we learned so much about Luang Prabang and Laos. This a must-do!!!

Start your trip with local food guides - We wanted an introduction to Lao food and Luang Prabang for our first full day, and this tour gave us that. Our guide, Mone, and trainee, Cam, were helpful in answering our questions along the way, making sure each spot was wiped down before we arrived, and introducing us to street food as well as dishes at local restaurants. All the food was good. We were given fair warning whenever something might be spicy (only the jeow, really, everything else you could add your own spice). I like that there was some walking for the first part, then we went by tuktuk to visit further spots as the morning got warmer.
