    I took this on after enjoying the XO Tours in Ho Chi Minh city. There were 10 of us from all over. Our guide was 'Mod' who was good. She knows her stuff and she was funny and charming although she does go a little over the top at times. Especially when it was late and we wanted to continue to our next destination. But this did not affect all of us as i noticed some of the tourists enjoyed her stories. The more important issue was the tuk-tuk drivers. These were independents, and not employed by the company. Hence they lack the commitment and the touch that Bangkokfoodtours needs to take them to the top. On the return to the hotel, my driver was fast and reckless with his driving and sitting at the back is uncomfortable when it is fast. They should take a leaf from XO tours in Ho Chi Minh city who hire their own riders with strict vetting procedures and all of them are very professional. 21 May 2019 - The food was good so I took the tour a second time around. Our guide was 'Paeng' and she was good. The food was good too. As per my first tour, the tuk2 driver was poor. With the guide around I had no complaints. It was only on trip back as he was reckless. Pointless to go into detail.

    I booked the Bangkok Food Tour at Night and we were all together a small group of 6 people - always 2 sharing our own Tuk Tuk driver. We went to various places, restaurants, food stalls and saw temples at night, went through the flower marker and just kind of got the feeling of the real Bangkok at night (the best part was being around and talking to so many locals during only a couple of hours). Definitely worth the money - best to be booked on the first or second night in Bangkok.

    1 word. RON!! He was a great host and tour guide. We took the 8pm food tour and LOVED it. The highlights for us were the night visit to Wat Pho and for us the best dish was Ann's (with one of the limited 20 Michelin awards in Bangkok). Ron went above and beyond sharing so much information in history about each place that we visited as well as places that we drove by in the tuk tuks. He has a great sense of humor and even laid down on the ground at Wat Pho to get amazing photos of my sister and I in front of the first chedi built by King Rama 1 in the 16th century. Book your night tour with Ron. Absolutely worth it. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

    This tour is not a good value if your group has traveled around Asia, are Asian and/or eat Asian cuisines often, or are serious foodies. If you’re like us, I’d recommend booking a custom food tour or a personal guide, like from Your Thai Guide, who can tailor your stops. We had better food with the personal guide, and it was more affordable. For non-adventurous eaters or those unfamiliar with Asian food, Bangkok Food Tours likely will be a new, more interesting experience. Our family of 4 adults from the States visited Thailand for the first time and booked this Bangkok food tour as a private tour with hotel pick up (which incurred additional fees). The grand total came out to ~$81 USD per person (full list of food at the end). Our tour only lasted 3.5 hours, with pick up at 6:00 PM and drop off at 9:30 PM. Bangkok Food Tours needs to ask for and relay accessibility and dietary needs to the guides beforehand (which didn’t happen for us). Our guide, Tukta, was friendly but only gave a couple of lines of explanation for each stop and then described the food (we would’ve liked to learn more about the places). Her English was not as good as other tour guides we had on this trip. She asked basic questions many times such as our spice tolerance level and whether this was our first time in the city. The tuk tuks we had did not have a step to get in/out and had low ceilings and high floors, so it was difficult to crouch or crawl in and out (and we’re all between 5 feet to 5’9” tall). My sister and I felt a bit rushed and pressured by Tukta to eat quickly at the first few stops. We then visited Chinatown where vendors are on the sidewalk, so visitors walk on the street inside a traffic cone lane. Tukta often walked outside of the cones and continued on the street even when sidewalks became available, which was a bit dangerous with foreigners unfamiliar with Bangkok traffic. My mother kept some of our Chinatown leftovers but Tukta told her to leave it in the tuk tuk at the next stop. That tuk tuk broke down and the food went along with it. My parents inexplicably had three different drivers/tuks tuks throughout the night. Our stop at the flower market was super fast, we zoomed through the market without any explanation and spent most of the time there folding leaves and petals on lotus bulbs that we get to keep. The best stop for most of us was a rooftop bar across from the Wat Arun. We were told right before we arrived that there are 5 flights of stairs to get to the rooftop, so my mother stayed downstairs. The first floor doesn’t serve liquor, so we were only allowed either beer or mocktails which was disappointing. Overall, we liked the view from the bar and riding in the tuk tuks. Food: Stops in general may change based on availability. Our route is also likely different because the tuks tuks met us at our hotel. 1. Chicken curry noodles with longan juice 2. Mango with sticky rice and steamed “jack fruit” which was actually taro with coconut wrapped in egg yolks 3. A northeast region Isan restaurant with four dishes: grilled pork, papaya salad, tamarind-based soup, duck larb, and sticky rice - these dishes are usually spicy, so make sure to tell your guide the level of chilis/spice you can handle (Thai level, not American level) 4. Chinatown: Thai doughnut which is a typical fried cruller, mini coconut pancakes, taco-like crunchy crepes with a soft-meringue filling 5. Outside the Flower Market: chicken and pork grilled skewers 6. Bar: we only had beer and mocktail options, 1 drink per person 7. Crispy noodles with chicken (instead of pad thai which wasn’t available)

    This tour proved to be truly exceptional. During our inaugural visit to Thailand, accompanied by my spouse, Chanya served as our tour guide. After nearly two weeks exploring the Bangkok area, we concluded our trip with this tour. It exceeded our expectations and stood out as the best among the dozen tours we had undertaken in the preceding weeks. My only regret is not commencing our Bangkok experience with this remarkable tour. It masterfully combined culinary delights with cultural immersion, far surpassing the typical "food tours" that often rush participants from one bite to the next. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour to my friends and family; it's unquestionably the finest in Bangkok.

    Tukta was a great guide. She was informative about the food and history of the stands and restaurants we ate at. If you are worried about not being full don’t worry, you will leave very stuffed. My husband and I did this tour and met other travelers from different countries. So if you are a solo traveler wanting to meet others this tour would be perfect. The Tuk Tuk drivers were professional and was great at navigating the busy streets of Bangkok.

    Went on the best eats midnight food tour. The tours itinerary wasn’t great in terms of build up and flow. It was quite har to understand the guides English, she didn’t manage to keep track of the participants, and wasn’t able to tell good stories about the food and places. All-in-all, we were glad we joined the tour, but we (family of 5) can’t understand why other reviews on the tour was so great. We have had much better tour experiences on similar tours in Vietnam.

    We took the Best Eats Midnight food tour by tuk tuk. Our guide was very informative and enthusiastic. Went to six different locations; restaurant where tried 5 different northeastern foods, charcoal cooked noodles, flower market, wat phra temple, rooftop bar, original pad Thai. Plus some extra snacks/sweets along the way. All the food was delicious. Tried some foods that we would have never found out about and got to ride around in an organised tuk tuk with hotel drop off to end the night.

    Wow! My husband and I really enjoyed this food tour. This was our first time in Thailand and our concierge at our hotel recommended this company. Everything was perfect and very professional from start to finish. Our Tuk Tuk driver was friendly and a great driver. Chanya was an awesome guide. She was very informative and enthusiastic. She was great with Covid precautions and brought plenty of wipes and sanitizer. We loved that we were able to see so much of the city and get great recommendations. I was a little hesitant at first but the food was amazing and did not make us feel sick. We also enjoyed the little stops along the route. We left with great photos and very satisfied bellies! Highly recommended!

    We had a great tour with guides Olive and Marissa. They accommodated a gluten allergy for me that would have made it near impossible to try any of the food on my own, and provided great cultural and culinary insights at each stop. Both are exceptional guides, skilled at handling the logistics and all other details so that all you have to do is show up and go along for the ride. My only drawbacks were the Wat Pho temple stop, where we spent a good bit of time but couldn’t go in to see the reclining Buddha because it closes at 6, and the fact that there were 2-3 groups of other food tours at every stop along the way. Still, well worth the money and time. Highly recommend!

    Mod is AWESOME!!! Fabulous tour l filled with not only great food, but wonderful incite to Bangkok and Thailand. Thanks so much for an amazing morning!

    Took the midnight tuk tuk food tour led by Gimao and driver Mr Purmen. Had a fantastic evening, Gimao was excellent as our host and tour leader, we visited some really interesting street food places and it was all very tasty. Driving around Bangkok late in the evening on a Tuk Tuk with a belly full of delicious food is highly recommended!

    Fantastic tour. Our guide Olive absolutely made the experience so special for us. She was incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating to our requests and dietary needs. We learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed the food! Would definitely recommend and do again.

    Joined the cultural bangrat tour with the super friendly guide, Tukta and we enjoyed every moment of the tour. The tour was filled with information, site visiting and lots of food to fill us up 😋 Highly recommended for those who are keen to join this tour as it is very informative and the food is superb yummy 😋🇹🇭 We enjoyed the trip so much and we chatted like old friends, thank u Tukta for the awesome services and experience 😎

    Amazing tour! Cannot recommend this tour enough! Our group chose to do a private tour of the Midnight Eats Food Tour (if your group is bigger, then this is definitely worth it, given the level of service and comfort available). Our tour guide was Olive, she was so sweet, kind, and understanding. She explained the history and food culture of Bangkok and Thailand so well and clearly. She was also to give great recommendations for food and areas to explore outside of the tour. Overall, our group had an absolute blast and loved this food tour. If given the chance, definitely join! The stop at the end with the bar was breathtaking. I also love the fact that we were able to ride Tuk Tuks in peace and without getting ripped off with pride. Overall this tour (especially given the portions) was totally worth every penny!

    We had a wonderful tour at night in Bangkok. Our tourguide (Maude?) was really funny and tried to teach us some important Thai and Bangkok things. You are driven by Tuk Tuks to some stations where you can taste typical Thai food. We really enjoyed the night and the finale was a wonderful view throughout the city at a rooftop bar. I highly recommend the food night tour especially since it is not that touristic what you get elsewhere in town. 5 stars!

    I was a bit worried upfront having done these kind of food tours in other cities, but this is a must do. I am not going to say that the food I have tasted was the absolute best that Bangkok has to offer, but the guide was a-ma-zing. This was much more than just a food tour: it was a city tour, a culture tour, a how-do-thai-think tour, a criss-cross bangkok by tuktuk tour. Easily takes 4+hours and simply worth the money.

    Had an amazing time exploring Bangkok Chinatown & all the smells sites. Had amazing foods & great views.

  • 5/5 Ryan E. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow, what an unexpectedly brilliant night. Thanks to Gimao for the superb tour. We tried at least 10 different foods, no one went hungry. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Chris S. 9 months ago on Google
    What a great tour. Started early driving out of Bangkok and went to sleepy train station in the salt fields where we at grilled banana and had coffee before taking a train into the town for the train market and then the floating market. Very local feeling. Amazing food. Our guide Olive was fantastic. Thoroughly enjoyed!

  • 5/5 mrmaestrom 9 months ago on Google
    We had a fantastic tour lead by Chanya. She was very excited to teach us about Thai food and some history about Bangkok. I think we made six or seven stops and tried various street food and restaurant food. All of it was amazing but my favourite was the pork belly res curry. I will be dreaming about that for a long time. It rained before the tour so Bangkok was soaked. This and the late night setting meant I got so many incredible photos. China Town in particular looked straight out of Blade Runner. If I had one bit of feedback it would be that ideally the tour group would be smaller. There were twelve total and I think max 6-8 is best. But the operator is obvs trying to make money and I’m sure they were hurting through COVID, so I can’t complain. It was still very good with 12 pax. Highly recommended!

    Ron is a great guide. So many tasty dishes. The rooftop bar was the highlight of the trip for me.
