A “must do” foodie experience - I had the most amazing experience! Not only was it a culinary experience it was a cultural experience. We were able to do food samplings from one of the largest markets in Chiang Mai as well as go to multiple restaurants to taste of variety of food. I appreciated that we were able to experience the food in multiple areas. The tour leader, Pondtip was knowledgeable, attentive to our needs, and a wonderful guide!

Great food tour to try Northern Thailand - I did the 4pm version of the tour with the night market.
Even though I had done 2 food tours in Bangkok, this tour had all new food for me to try.The guides were knowledgeable and spoke great English. And when I showed them what I had eaten already they suggested alternatives so I could try new foods.
I believe my favorite had to be Khao Lam, but all of it was very tasty. So much food, that I ended up needing to bring some of it home instead.
Would recommend.

A PERFECT EVENING OF NORTHERN THAI CUISINE AND CULTURE - This was the highlight of our trip to Chiang Mai! Best way to get an authentic feel for the culture and food of Northern Thailand. My partner and I had the most amazing evening on this tour experiencing Northern Thai bites at a local market, TukTuk ride across town to a DELICIOUS restaurant, visit to a stunning temple, and tasting our way through the night market. Our guide PT was wonderful and we’re so lucky to have shared this evening with her. Thank you PT for sharing the cuisine and history of your region with us!! Everything was delicious, come hungry!! We are foodies and have done street food tours across Europe, Asia, and the Americas and this evening in Chiang Mai was a standout!

PT was a great guide; highly recommend - PT was wonderful… we enjoyed touring the market, trying new foods and exploring Chiang Mai. She easily accommodated our large group of 9, along with vegetarian diet needs. She was thoughtful and attentive, and personalized the tour to us. This was a great tour to do at the beginning of our trip, to better understand new foods and how to navigate the markets. Highly recommend!

Excellent food tour in Chiang Mai - Excellent food tour around Chiang Mai with PT. I got to try a bunch of things I've never had before, understand more about the ones i had and learn more about Chiang Mai and Northern Thailand in the process.
Weather was less than ideal, but that was no issue - PT had everything organised and adjusted to suit.
I happened to be the only one on the tour so ended with some leftovers to take back to my hotel.
Would absolutely recommend this tour - great food and a chance to see parts of Chiang Mai that you might otherwise miss.

Amazing food tour + history - PT, our Tour guide was amazing! She showed us really great local food spots, my favorite was the Isan style sausage street food. We got around the area quite easily and ate so much food until we couldn’t eat anymore. Learned a lot about the history of the area as well. Would highly recommend this tour!

Great guide, great food - Firstly, 5/5 for our guide, Mui, who was great - knowledgeable and engaging - and the food, which was delicious of course! But I can't give it 5/5 overall as we didn't enjoy the set-up as much as we have done for previous food tours: others we've done have been street food based, whereas a big part of this was at a restaurant, and I've also tended to go for walking tours, but this included quite a few songtheaw trips. That was all clear in the description and seems to be the style in Chiang Mai, so I'm not complaining, but it just wasn't quite right for us. Still a solid 4/5 though!

Great Food Tour of Chiang Mai - Have just come back from the evening Foodie Tour with PT. Due to a group cancellation it ended up being a private tour which was great. She met me as planned, took me to many places and tried lots of dishes, she also gave me the option to try other things. I was so full at the end, it was a great night.
