“We really enjoyed riding the boat- our tour was timed perfectly- we got to enjoy sunset on the river, with a spectacular view of the temple in the background. We then got to ride around on the tuk tuk to various other locations around the city. The flower market is amazing! Tina was an excellent host, very kind and informative! Riding the tuk tuk is so fun! We also really enjoyed seeing Chinatown- the street food dinner at the end was delicious!”

Taste regional Chinese street food, explore Sydney Chinatown, and learn its Chinese-Australian story on this practical 150-minute walking tour.
“We enjoyed the tastes offered, but were hoping for more for the price. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about Chinatown and China in general, especially since he lives part time in China. We appreciated his thorough knowledge. The one beverage offered was at a tea stand that we had to pay extra for ourselves. It was a very hot day and it was a lot of standing around in the heat listening to him talk a lot about history. It would have been nice to have more of a focus on the food and chats about history sitting in shade or air conditioning. But an interesting tour.”
Taste 8+ Thai dishes across six Chinatown stops, with local stories, small-group guidance, and practical advice on price, pace, and access.

Irene our guide was very friendly, accommodating and helpful with all of our requests and questions 😅 Must do tour in BKK!”
Taste Thai-Chinese street food, explore Yaowarat, and visit Guan Yin Shrine on a private evening tour in Bangkok Chinatown.
“We only had Thai food but it was very good. Everything else could be improved ! The biggest problem was that our guide Ken could barely speak English and he understood almost nothing of what we said or asked. When it started raining heavily, we decided to cut the tour short at 1.5 hours because it was not worth it to try and continue”
