“Our guide was amazing. She explained a lot a things about Lao kitchen, use of herbs etc. Note that it's more about eating like locals rather then a gourmet experience. Would still recommend ;)”

“Such an incredible tour! You basically don’t need to do anything else in Luan Prabang if you join this tour. You can cover all gourmet spots in a compact and super efficient way. You get to visit a temple and get personally blessed by a monk. You even get a Tuk Tuk ride! Our guide was super kind and fun. We also had a lovely group. Highly recommend!”

“An absolutely fantastic food tour! We had a wonderful food tour led by Latda. Her warm, humorous, and open personality, along with the selection of dishes, made the tour truly special. We sampled pasta, fish, meat, soup, sugar beet, and much more. Everything had a unique twist, and Latda had a perfect explanation for each dish. We've been on several food tours, but this one was by far the best.”

“Wonderful Time in a Wonderful Town Wonderful time with Latda. She is fun to speak with. Knowledgeable on the food, culture and area. Each stop is different, delicious and highlights how Laotian food differs to other parts of South East Asia.”

“More than a food tour As it turned out, our group tour turned into a private tour when no one else showed up! Our guide Latda chose a variety of dishes and preparations, starting in restaurants and ending in the local alley of the Night Market. Elephant ear shoots, whole fish wrapped in lettuce leaves with the most delicious sauces, seaweed chips, buffalo jerky, noodle soup, pork stuffed in tender bamboo shoots, Luang Prabang sausages...Such a variety! She seemed to be friends with everyone we passed on the streets, and it's easy to see why -- she is an open-hearted, lovely guide. (In addition to the food, we went to a local temple for a blessing by one of the young monks. Icing on the cake”

“"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable street food experience in Laos! Our tour was simply fantastic – authentic, warm, and full of flavor. Our guide was incredibly friendly, attentive, and passionate about leading us through the local markets and narrow alleys. We discovered places we would never have found on our own and learned so much about Laotian cuisine and culture. The food was varied and fresh – from spicy papaya salad to sweet rice cakes, we had everything. We felt completely comfortable and welcome. Highly recommended – a real highlight of our trip! 🙏"”

“Delicious food tour of Luang Prabang Latda more than delivers on her promises. She'll take you to the most fun and delicious eateries in Luang Prabang, where you'll be introduced to the many delicious specialties of Lao cuisine. Make sure you start the tour hungry, because you'll get a lot 😀. Besides the delicious food, it's also a very interesting tour, including a visit to a temple and an explanation of Lao culture and history. Latda is a great conversationalist and speaks excellent English. She's also working on mastering German 👍”
