Authentic Food Tours
From Bangkok night markets to Cairo's bazaars โ our passionate local guides take you off the tourist trail to the best food in Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
Bangkok Street Food After Dark
As the sun dips below Bangkok's skyline, the city truly comes alive through food. This evening tour plunges you into the legendary street food culture that has made Bangkok one of the world's top food destinations. We begin in the electric atmosphere of Yaowarat โ Bangkok's Chinatown โ where neon signs illuminate rows of sizzling woks and fragrant broths. Your local guide, born and raised in Bangkok, knows every vendor by name and will take you far beyond what any guidebook recommends. Over four exhilarating hours, you'll taste your way through 12 iconic dishes: from Pad Thai cooked over a flaming wok by a third-generation street cook, to velvety tom yum goong bursting with lemongrass and chilli. We visit hidden alleyways for the city's best boat noodles, a late-night Isaan BBQ stall beloved by taxi drivers, and end the evening with sweet coconut ice cream served inside a fresh coconut shell. This is Bangkok the way locals experience it โ loud, chaotic, and utterly delicious.

Chiang Mai Morning Market Feast
Northern Thai cuisine is a world apart from what most visitors encounter in Bangkok โ earthier, herbier, and deeply influenced by the Lanna Kingdom's centuries of history and its borders with Burma and Laos. Chiang Mai is its spiritual home, and this morning tour is the best possible introduction. We meet at dawn at Warorot Market โ the city's oldest and most atmospheric covered market โ where the stalls are piled high with jungle herbs, dried spices, and ingredients you won't find anywhere further south. Over 3.5 hours, your guide will explain the story behind each dish as you taste 11 Northern Thai specialties. The centrepiece is a bowl of khao soi: egg noodles in a rich, slightly spiced coconut curry broth, topped with crispy noodles and pickled mustard greens. It's one of Thailand's greatest dishes and Chiang Mai is the only place to truly understand it.

Phuket Old Town Street Food Walk
Phuket is famous for its beaches, but its Old Town hides one of Thailand's most fascinating food cultures โ shaped by waves of Hokkien Chinese merchants, Portuguese traders, and the original sea nomad peoples of the Andaman. The result is Peranakan cuisine: a uniquely spiced, intensely flavourful fusion that exists nowhere else in Thailand. This walk takes you through Phuket Town's gorgeous Sino-Portuguese streets โ past pastel-coloured shophouses dripping with bougainvillea โ and into the family-run kitchens and hole-in-the-wall stalls that have served these recipes for generations. You'll try 10 dishes that tell the story of the island's multicultural soul, from braised Hokkien noodles to crispy Thai crepes with meringue topping. A perfect way to see the real Phuket, away from the beach crowds.

Phnom Penh Hidden Eateries Tour
Phnom Penh's food scene is one of Southeast Asia's best-kept secrets โ a cuisine of incredible depth that somehow survived the devastation of the Khmer Rouge and re-emerged with its soul intact. This tour takes you deep into the city's back-street eateries and market stalls that rarely see foreign visitors. Your guide โ a Phnom Penh local with a passion for Khmer food history โ will walk you through 11 dishes that reveal the full range of Cambodian flavour. The centrepiece is fish amok: Cambodia's beloved national dish of freshwater fish steamed in coconut milk and lemongrass inside a banana leaf cup. We also visit a Khmer BBQ grill for charcoal-cooked meats with fermented dipping sauces, and for the adventurous, the chance to try a deep-fried tarantula โ a genuine local delicacy that tastes considerably better than it sounds.
