Chiang Mai Food Tour

If you hesitate to try foods from markets, these tours are a great way to break you in. I found the duck dish to be one of my new favorites. You also go to places you probably wouldn't go on your own.

Amy was fantastic and very knowledgeable and curated the tour to the 6 of us and our interests. She assisted with ordering 5 local meals and everything was delicious. This tour is a lot of walking but overall a great experience. We spent over 3 hours exploring and eating in 3 markets. One is more tourist night market, wholesalers market and a local market where you truly get to see day to day life of Chang Mai!

Amy is our host. She is passionate and took good care of us in a busy night market. We are a small group of tourists and managed to eat 6 different types of food. The food recommendations are good and i enjoy the fruit market very much.

Amy did a great job! She was so excited to show us all the best food and we had so much fun :)

Que lindo tour. Que experiencia de comida. Muy recomendable.

Amy led the tour, her English was good and her knowledge of Thai food and the best places to eat in the food market was excellent. We enjoyed the tour.

I really liked the tour with Amy, she explained us so many thing about the food and the three different markets we visited. Amy was very knowledgeable and she helped us to avoid big queues to get the food. As a vegetarian, I didn't have too many choices because 3 dishes out of 5 contained meat, but I still felt so full because portions are quite big. Also, we had the chance to buy several snacks thanks to Amy's advice.

It's a decent tour but I'm pretty sure it's dependant on the group. Our tour was hijacked by a group of elderly american women who turned it into a discussion club about their work and vacation. John is a nice guy but wasn't assertive enough to take control of the group and most of the time it looked like he was talking to just few people while the rest weren't really listening. We could also get some more info about Thai food customs etc

Simpatico giro per mercati notturni di chiag mai

Das war eine sehr abwechslungsreiche und sehr sättigend mit allen Köstlichkeiten von Nord Thailand. Besonders beeindruckend war der Besuch der Großmarkthalle, die ein Tourist sonst nicht sieht. Mein Rucksack war hinterher voll von leckeren Früchten.

Pom was great! We tried a bunch of dishes, most were specific to northern Thailand (no Pad Thai, papaya salad, or basil pork). We started with the food stalls (tried Chiang Mai sausage, Khao Moo, sukiyaki, a few Thai desserts, duck with rice). We would have also had Khao Soi, but we were too full and needed a break:). We then walked to a huge wholesale market where Pom gave tons of info and answered all our questions. Then headed to the last market in Chinatown where we had fermented noodles. The tour was long- lasted almost 4.5 hours - but it was great!

Tour was better than expected, the guide spoke perfect English and was very knowledgeable

Generally, I have found the Tour leaders with Guru Walk to be very well educated, articulate and really give of their time. This one was no exception. We had a fabulous tour of local markets, tasted an amazing variety of food and were shown some of the unique features of other markets. And added feature was a fascinating tour of some local food markets that were wholesale distributing centers and places where restaurants by their food. This was the highlight for me. The Tour leader went above and beyond the three hours I expected. It was a real quality experience and one of the highlights of my time here in Chiang Mai!

John was locally knowledgeable and very kind to any request. Worth doing seeing local places!

Jakrit, the group on the tour and the tour itself were all terrific!

Per fare un’esperienza relativa al cibo thai è sicuramente un’esperienza positiva e utile. Consigliata!

Excellent tour by a knowledgeable local. Got us to places we would never have found. Gave us a fascinating insight in local food culture

I had a free walking tour today and it was absolutely wonderful. Our guide was very well organized and incredibly knowledgeable, sharing lots of interesting background information along the way. He even went the extra mile by getting a number in advance for a popular food spot, saving us a long wait. Everything was smooth, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting.

JT has lived in Chiang Mai his whole life and know all details about food, including where to find it, all ingredients, and which kind is best. Great Job!

The best tour guide ever, the food we tasted and ate was delicious and cheap, thanks to the guide. After more than 3 hours wandering around we ended at the 24-hours market, which I didn't knew about. THANKS!

JT gave a great and tasty tour. He's super knowledgeable about the food itself but also Thailand in general, etc. We were introduced to some new dishes we weren't familiar with and had an overall good time.

Jakkrit is a great tour guide and is very friendly and funny. Come with an empty belly and an open mind. There is a good variety and it's good if you have just arrived in Chiang Mai/ Northern Thailand as you can get a feel for local food. Jakkrit answers any questions you have and has lots of useful info! (If you are going to take this tour, please be prepared to try food that is not typical western food as its not fun for the others if you just skip everything and nobody gets to try any food.)

Buen recorrido con explicaciones adecuadas.

John, el ayudante de Jakkrit, nos mostró 3 mercados super interesantes, alguno de los cuales jamás habría descubierto por mi cuenta. Además, hizo el paseo super ameno con sus bromas y anécdotas. Totalmente recomendable :)

Jakkrit has a phenomenal tour, he even makes reservations in the most popular spots that you normally can't get into. This is by far the best food tour I´ve ever done. But be careful, you will want to eat and buy everything he shows, so come hungry.
