Our guide Lily was nice and informative, we enjoyed all the different foods and interesting conversation about Chinatown and Thailand culture. We did about 6 stops to try different dishes and it’s a lot of food, so better come hungry to enjoy all of it. Over all pleasant experience, highly recommend.

Very nice Trip!!!

We were lucky to be only two people for the tour, so we had a very nice private tour through Chinatown. Our guide Olive was very nice. She knew all the special places to eat the typicall stuff in Chinatown, like seafood, soups, noodles.... we enjoyed it very much and recommend strongly to do this tour! The price is also fair in relation to the amount of food you can taste!

just delicious ... with a great guide

The tour was really great ... the bustling Chinatown and then again and again stations, where just the enjoyment counts and you can just turn off the hustle and bustle of this city around it. Our guide (in) Lushi was very nice and spoke perfect English and made sure we did not miss out on anything. Only the journey to the meeting point was extremely adventurous. The taxi driver stuck with us in the traffic jam and the MRT was hardly reached on foot, because there was just a large construction site there. from us but clear 10 points for Lushi and the food ;-)
