Best tour of Bangkok! - This experience was absolutely amazing. Annie and Armie were the most hospitable, knowledgeable guides. We went while on our honeymoon and they added so many little touches that made us feel very special.
You’ll be stuffed at the end and get the real deal food of Thailand. Highly recommend!

I Highly Recommend - Come Starving - My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our five hour food tour through Chinatown’s backstreets and bustling restaurants. Our guide was outstanding in every way.
We walked from food stall to restaurant to fruit stand to another restaurant and on! In total I think we enjoyed 25+ items including full restaurant dishes. We were served at least five dishes at the sit down seafood restaurant alone. How did we eat so much tasty cuisine? Come starving and be prepared for a wonderful time.

Best food tour EVER!!!!! - That was a great way to end our days in Bangkok. I've done a lot of food tours around the world, but this one is world class. Annie and Mikie were top-notch in their organization. Every single dish was fantastic, many recommended by Michelin. Way too much food, great explanations. It was so much fun...

A delicious experience - The Bangkok street food tour was a great time! Nuch was our guide and was very informative about China town, the food we are trying, and how it fits into Thai culture.
Bae was helping her and always two steps ahead getting our tables ready and making sure we had what we needed. It was so seamless going from place to place thanks to him!
Everything we tried was delicious, and it’s hard to pick a favorite. Great vibes, food and overall experience!

Great food adventure in Bangkok’s Chinatown - We really liked the selection of dishes served, we especially loved the green curry dish, the pork knuckle dish, the fried donut, and the dishes at T&K. We went back 2 days later to retrace our steps and eat again at T&K and the donuts, they were that good. Our guide was very helpful. Only note I’d leave here for parents who intend to bring small children, do this with them if they have the energy to walk around and have an adventurous palate.

Best street food tour in Bangkok/ China Town! Michelin Guide! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ - This street food tour was really sensational! 15+ dishes, 4 hours through Chinatown and two great guides. This tour is worth every cent... every second shop was awarded a Michelin Guide, everything is perfectly organized and you get a lot of background information. In fact, there are many stops that you would never find without extensive research. Unreserved recommendation!

Incredible unique experience - This tour was incredible. We tried 17 different dishes and explored areas of Chinatown I never would have gone on my own. Every dish was incredible and surprisingly it was just the right amount of food.
