China Culinary Tours
There’s always wonderful surprises on China food tours, from the old regal classics to the redefined city dumplings.
This isn’t a country where you should only scratch the surface. Uncovering the heart of Chinese cuisine requires experiences out of the norm. In the past we’ve had triple Michelin-starred chef Paul Pairet offering an insider’s perspective on Shanghai’s cuisine. We’ve led explorations that trace the journey of xiaolongbao, the soup-filled dumplings trending across the world. Our Hong Kong food tours have included master dim sum cooking classes and street food crawls. The common greeting in Hong Kong is sik tzo fan may, which means “have you eaten?” Such a focus on food is replicated across the whole of China. And only by delving deep into the country’s cuisine can you fully explore this dedication to fine food.
A Taste of Thailand Foodie Tours
An insider’s perspective that opens the senses, our Thailand food tours are also an exploration of local culture.
Thailand Food Tours
Of all the Asia food tours it’s those in Thailand that are the most famous. Few people visit the country without going on at least one cooking class, along with a street food or market tour. Everything is so fresh and so vibrant, and everything seems to come together so naturally: lemongrass, chili, coconut, palm sugar, salted fish and so much more. After operating luxury tours here for more than 20 years, we’ve seen an explosion in Thailand food tours. But the experience doesn’t come from attending a Bangkok street food crawl or Thai cooking class, It comes from the immersion that the activities can offer, especially when they’re guided by award-winning chefs and culinary commentators.
Myanmar Cuisine
In a country of cultural wonder, Myanmar food tours are a symbol of both originality and authenticity.
Exploring Myanmar on Asian Food Tours
Cuisine is one of the unexpected delights of traveling to Myanmar. The influences are wide, snippets of its neighbors fusing into a national cuisine: India, China, Thailand, even Tibet. The cauldron of contrasting flavors is as mind-boggling as the temples of Bagan, yet can only be experienced when you traverse the country, for localized specialities are what make Myanmar’s culinary experience. From a curry restaurant in Yangon to sharing a meal with monks, we love to imbue a focus on food into all Myanmar luxury tours. In each destination we can guide you to something new. And if you want to explore in more depth, we can suggest a wide range of tailored cooking and tasting experiences, even including a wine region that nobody knows about.

And that’s just the standard day, without even considering the Vietnam food tours that can be customized into your experience. Asian food tours here connect cuisine with culture and history, so much to tell in just a single bite, so much to share as you crunch into fresh spring rolls or allow the locals to show you the backstreet food carts.
