The tour was well-organized, and our guide was both knowledgeable and enthusiastic, sharing fascinating insights about the history, culture, and hidden gems of the area. We explored vibrant markets, tasted delicious street food like dim sum. The atmosphere was lively, with colorful lanterns, bustling streets, and the aroma of fresh cooking filling the air. The guide also took us to lesser-known alleys where we discovered authentic local shops and traditional stores. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience the rich culture and flavors of Chinatown in Bangkok!

Ida was incredible. We went to so many places to try food in china town. She asked us what we wanted to try most and went above and beyond to make sure we got to try those things. We got to try spring rolls, Tom yum soup, papaya salad, thai beer, lotus juice, green tea juice, crunchy pork, mango sticky rice, coconut ice cream, donuts with dipping sauce, queen of Thailand fruit, pork noodles, and possibly more. She also took 20 different pictures and shared them with us. The posting said we would try 8-9 things but we tried more than that. She also made sure we had a safe ride back to our hotel. I would totally recommend Ida.

This was an amazing experience! Zarut took me to many places and I've tasted so many different dishes. His advice was solid; eating street food is no problem as long as you see it being prepared in front of you. As an European I was cautious but never experienced anything negative. I would truly recommend this tour!
