This was an amazing food tour. Moui our guide spoke excellent English and was a great source of information. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about her native Northern Thai cuisine. We went on the lunch tour. She brought us around in a local red Thai jeepney so there was minimal walking. Highly recommended.

This was definitely one of the top 3 food tours that I have ever done, anywhere in the world. We were taken to so many amazing and unusual places where foodies like Mark Wien and Anthony Bourdain have gone before, that if you had to put together the knowledge and transportation to visit- it would have taken days! Come with an empty stomach and be prepared to be adventurous!

The tour was very enjoyable. Our guide was very informative. Amazing amount of tastings, super interesting and super tasty. Our guide kept track of time very well. I wish we had more time as we had so many tastings. We loved every dishes. The experience was very good, I would definitely try other chef tours in other countries.

I did the same lunch food tour last year when I came to Chiang Mai for the lantern festival. It was so good that I came back this year and repeat the same food tour as well. We went to five different locations and tried more than 15 different kinds of food. It's hard to believe you could eat that much, even though the tour lasted four hours. Toward the end we all had difficulties to eat more, as delicious as the food was. The last stop was a big farmer's market. We even tried the crickets and the silk worms. So if you always wanted to try them and couldn't sum up the courage, now it's your chance to do it in group! The food choices are diverse, mostly northern Thai. Be careful that it could be really spicy, especially the small chili peppers. The guide was very knowledgable. She told us a lot about the history of those dishes, some were brought in by immigrants. She also answered many cultural questions. She also provided us unlimited bottled water, hand wipes and alcohol spray. The tour is carried out in a Songthaew (a red truck taxi) and the max. number of people in each tour group is eight. When I come back to Chiang Mai next time, I might do it again! In the mean time, I will find "A Chef's Tour" at my other travel destinations.

Absolutely delicious food! Fun to ride in a Songthaew as well. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Chiang Mai. Great to try some Northern Thai specialities.

This was everything we had hoped for. Nobody else booked so we had a private tour to ourselves! It was fun travelling around in the songthaew. But most of all we enjoyed learning about the background and history of the different northern Thai dishes and heading to family run restaurants that we wouldn’t have known about without doing many hours of research online beforehand. And the market tour to finish was fun, in a market with locals. So much food. We had a small breakfast before the tour to make sure we had room, but even that wasn’t needed as we tried so many things. And everything was so delicious.

We did the lunch tour starting at 10am. It was excellent. The food, the background about the food, the info about northern Thailand was all top notch. We have taken many food tours around the world and this was one of the best. Don’t miss it !

This was a very interesting and informative tour! We had already been to several restaurants and markets before taking this tour, but learning the history and the outside influences on Thai culture and food really enriched our understanding. Moui was a great Chef’s Tour guide. She was well- versed and very gracious. We really enjoyed her teaching us about Northern Thai cooking. The market she took us to was fantastic! A must-see cacophony of sights and sounds. My friend had been to Chiang Mai twice before and had never been to this local’s market. We highly recommend taking this tour and Moui as a guide.

I have done a couple of A Chef’s Tours and this one was especially good. The food was amazing, the guide was great and they go ahead with the tour even if there’s only one person on it that particular day/lunchtime. I had a wonderful tour with Moui. Highly recommend!

Amazing food tour - really well planned and executed. Some really delicious and unusual dishes. We were so full by the end!

Our guide Moui was very friendly helpful and knowledgeable. She introduced us to so many wonderful and interesting food. Our favourite the was the larb salad with minced raw buffalo meat !

A wonderful experience! I was disappointed we didn't get into the "other" popular Northern tour, but I was so glad in the end! We tried an amazing array of traditional Northern Thai dishes. My favourite was the Kho soi ( such a rich broth and tender beef). We had up to 20 dishes! 2 I didn't like, but it was good to try!: Kham Nomjeen man Ngeow ( rice noodles with pork balls and ribs with chicken blood) or the water buffalo salad ( with offal). The vegan Shan (North Burmese) Tea leaf spicy salad was surprising and another favourite! We ended our tour having a picnic at the Tha-Nin Market which was lovely and clean and offered us many desserts and fruit to try. Moui was an amazing host. Excellent English, and wanting to share so much with us! Our driver took us from place to place, so we were not constrained to a small area. I highly recommend this tour!

Ok, so this blew my expectations out the window. What a tour! Overall it was amazing and such good value, but there were a few things that really stood out for me. First of all: The combination of interesting and tasty. While the tour helped to show and explain so much about the cultural and ethnic diversity of Northern Thailand, most of the dishes were simply ridiculously tasty! A nod to Anthony Bourdain to start us off, some local dishes that I would have struggled to come across or order without any guidance (buffalo laarb, I’m looking at you!), the amazing tea leaf salad in a Shan neighbourhood, and yes… I thought I had eaten amazing crispy pork belly before but this was by far the best I’ve ever tasted! So many more bites and sweet treats to mention but yes, taste buds were overjoyed. Secondly: The diversity of food (and areas) was refreshing. From spicy to sweet, from complex to simple perfection, from easy approachable to challenging (yup, some fun curve balls haha)… I enjoyed that the guide showed such a broad palette of Thailand’s food heritage and took us to neighbourhoods and markets I probably never would have discovered during my stay in Chiang Mai. It left me with the feeling of having seen a bit of the real Chiang Mai. Thirdly: Enjoyable! Even though we tasted so much food and visited many different places, it never felt rushed or repetitious. I find that tours can sometimes feel a bit unnatural at times, or a bit too scripted so to say, but this was smooth as silk..... We had time to enjoy every stop with food and conversations and our guide would expand on any question and provide so much in-depth knowledge. Simply four hours of pure enjoyment! My strongest recommendation for anyone who want to get to know Northern Thailand a bit more. Or if you just love good food.

Maui our guide was friendly and approachable right from the start. There was an extensive range of food with detailed explanations from Moui. She explained some of the local history and could answer all our questions. We did this our first day in Chiang Mai and the tour gave us a good perspective of what to eat and where as well as the general layout of the city. We did the morning tour and enjoyed every bite. There was more than enough food. We certainly recommend this to others.

Our guide was very informative and the food absolutely delicious. I would recommend this tour to all foodies, the variety and amount is next level.
