A Yummy Blast! - Nothing is more enjoyable than a great food tour. We just returned from a six week Southeast Asia journey and enjoyed several food tours. A Chef’s Tour in Chiangmai Mai did not disappoint and perhaps one of the best we experienced. No I was a wonderful guide and should be commended. She walked us through a “local” food market explaining Thai fruits, vegetables, meats and baked goods. Meanwhile, she collected items along the way for our dining pleasure. We passed on the crunchy bugs! Haha
We loved the transportation aboard a red truck “songthaew” from restaurant stop to stop. We dined on multiple dishes explained by Noi at every location. Northern Thai cuisine was on full display during this four hour tour. Advise: Arrive Hungry!

Amazing discovery of 20+ regional specialties - We had an awesome tome with our guide, Tree, who introduced us to over 20 specialties from Northern Thailand.
He really brought us to unique locations, including the local food market, and went out of his way to make our experience as great as possible!

Amazing tour :) - Excellent food tour. Sooo much food!! You have to be careful early on about not eating too much or you'll fill up.
Lots of unique foods that I wouldn't have tried otherwise. As you get a small portion of each you're able to try a lot.

Fantastic Food Tour - so delicious! And a great guide!! - Probably the best food tour we have been on!! And we have been on a lot!! Moui our guide was wonderful. She provided much information about the foods, the history, the ingredients. So much food to sample. We couldn't believe the amount and the variety. And everything very flavorful and delicious. Moui also guided us through a market, purchased various foods and fruits and drinks, them we gathered around a table at the market and sampled everything. I truly feel like we were exposed to the many flavors of Chiang Mai and Thailand. Fantastic Food Tour and Moui was the best!!

Fantastic food tour of Chiang Mai and brilliant guide! - We did a food tour with the same company in Bangkok and loved it so much we booked one here too! It didn't disappoint! It was great to experience the flavours of northern Thai cuisine and try a whole new set of totally different dishes. We travelled between stops in one of the Chiang Mai taxi's which was fun. Our guide was amazing and we learnt lots about the history and culture of northern Thailand as well as about the food. We also loved our stop at the local market where one of the stall holders cooked a local dish fresh in front of us. We would definitely recommend this tour!

Wonderful time in Chiang Mai - We met people from all around the world, and the instructor was so kind and funny and clever. I would recommend this event to anyone.
The elephant nature park was my favorite thing in Thailand, but this was my second favorite thing

Best food tour - One of the best food tours I have been on. We got to taste over 15 items, maybe close to 20. The selection was unified, interesting and never would have found these places as a tourist. Keep on doing what you are doing it works!

Excellent experience - I want to commend our guide Tree (spelled phonetically). He has a passion for food and Thai culture. That is the perfect combination to have an engaged guide. He shared so much knowledge/culture with us. My wife especially liked the visit to the market where we sampled local fruits.
We have been about 7 or 8 different food tours in various countries. This one is either the best we have ever been on or a very close second!!!

Great food! - Warning: High chance of overeating delicious food! This was a great tour led by an energetic and enthusiastic guide, Tree. All of the food was great but the first few were the best in our opinion. As mentioned in other reviews, there was WAY too much food overall so overindulging was easy. It was nice that the guide passed on leftovers to our driver and other locals. We recommend this tour!
