Great Tour, ask for Yanika - Great experience with our guide Yanika. We sampled 5 dishes and an assortment of desserts. She was very informative and spoke the best English from any guide our whole trip. The trip is 3 hours and not 5 to 6.

Great Good Tour With Yanika! - It was a great tour! We tried several dishes and Yanika was very knowledgeable about not only the food, but other topics we talked about like local customs and religious practices. She was the best guide we had on our whole trip!

Great experience tasting what locals eat in Denpasar Night Market - This was a great food tour and it is highly recommended if you want to experience authentic Balinese food. Our tour guide was Gede, he was friendly and helpful in guiding us through the market, and going above and beyond to ensure this experience is memorable. Thank you again for this fantastic experience, loved it entirely!

Friendly and tasty local experience - Yanika was so hospitable, checking in with us before hand due to the weather not being great. The markets were amazing and Yanika organised a range of dishes to try based on our likes and dislikes. We had a great tour from pickup to drop off, thanks for an amazing local food experience

Great Tour! - We did our street food tour with the lovely Yanika. From the time she picked us up to the moment she dropped us off she was very friendly and welcoming and gave us lots of information about Bali and its culture. She took us to a local market where we had the opportunity to try authentic Balinese street food which was very tasty and flavoursome. I think our favourite was the meatballs and Nasi Goreng but we would give the Balinese cake 5 stars. She walked us through the rest of the market and we also stopped at a fruit stall where she explained all the different fruits that were on display. Overall we had an amazing evening and would commend Yanika on her general knowledge and professionalism

A comfortable and secure journey - The tour guide was very patient and friendly. He took my daughter and me to eat a lot of local food. He was punctual and polite, which made us feel very safe during the trip. We even booked another trip to Tanah Lot Temple. As he was still very considerate before, we are sure that he will be our tour guide next time we come to Bali.

Not quite what we expected - It saddens me to write a review like this, but this food tour was disappointing. We’re frequent food tour explorers across multiple continents, and they tend to be the highlights of our trips. We love them as a way to immerse ourselves in local foodie delights, culture, history, to explore spots off the well-trodden tourist path, and to make new friends. This tour fell short. We tried 8 dishes in total (no suckling pig) from 2 vendors - think nasi goreng, mei goreng, bako ayam, Balinese breakfast cakes (the usual intro to Indonesia dishes). A few items were tasty, but nothing really stood out or were new to us as we had already tried these “street foods” at our hotel or in the States. We killed some time exploring the market in between (which is largely households goods for locals (think undergarments, shoes, toiletries, etc.)), which meant the actual tour was about 30-45 mins (and we spent about 2+ hours total driving there and back). The tour description lists 5-7 hours, so I figured we’d be eating and walking a bunch (which is common for most food tours), but that wasn’t the case. We’ve never been on a food tour with this little food from so few vendors (none of which we interacted with) or with such limited descriptions of the food & ingredients, cooking techniques or culinary history. For example, our guide didn’t tell us the Indonesian names of some of the dishes and couldn’t identify the ingredients in a few (a serious issue if you have allergies or dietary restrictions). We left fairly hungry, and I checked my watch and we walked a total of 500 steps. It felt both oddly quick and uncomfortably long, all at once. From a tour guide perspective, our guide was sweet but the conversation was mostly personal and we didn’t get much outside of basic small talk. We were hoping to walk away with a deeper understanding of Balinese and/or Indonesian culture and history, but we didn’t. Most food tour guides are passionate foodies, culture ambassadors, and delight in showing off their favorite foods and sharing their knowledge. Our guide, sadly, felt like she was ticking off a to do list and wasn’t prepared to answer most of our very basic culinary and history questions. I would recommend that the tour operator add in more food stops, diversify the offerings, and train their guides more. As it currently stands, this should be a 3 hour lunch tour at half the price. We would like to give our guide the benefit of the doubt (maybe it was a bad day?) but to fly 26 hours then sit in 2+ hours of bumper to bumper traffic for 45 minutes of small talk and foods we’ve had before or that can be had at a hotel, it wasn’t worth it for us.

not what I expected - Booked this food tour to have an idea of what Balinese food has to offer. But we were only taken to one market. I thought we would be taken to different places.. the market itself made such a bad impact on our appetite. There was soo much flies in the food and all i cant was laugh on how our first day food experience was the worst of all time. was expecting more but really was disappointed and regretted booking this
