• Visit The Flower Market, the grounds of Wat Arun, and Chinatown
• Explore the historic part of Bangkok, and see famous temples and sights illuminated at night
• Enjoy snacks, dinner and a dessert!

This is considered a cultural tour with food. However, it should not be considered an in-depth food tour.

This tour is available in 2 options:
• Small group join in tour with maximum 12 guests (available daily except Mondays)
• Private Tour for just yourself (suitable for families with young children).

This is a really well organised tour. Our guide, Jazzy, made it such great fun with their friendliness and warmth. We crammed in lots of interesting experiences but it didn’t ever feel rushed.

my husband and I went on the tour during our honeymoon and it was nothing short of amazing. We really got to learn the culture of Bangkok and we got to try a whole bunch of foods. I’m so so happy we booked this excursion. We’re still talking about it days later.

Nice trip. Our tour guide, A, was so excited to have us and share info. Our team of tuktuk drivers were fun and playful too! Great intro to hotspots in the city. We hit 7 places with snacks in between and a nice dinner with drinks in the middle. A had us try a variety of snacks and was happy to explain what things were. We even had a brave few try some local insect delicacies. Great for a quick trip around to orient yourself. I’ll definitely be visiting some of those places again in my own.
