Food tours in Asia

This time, let your tastebuds do the exploring...

Asian food in all its sweet and sour glory continues to influence world cuisine. Ginger, cinnamon, pepper and turmeric were the stuff of legend in the 1600s, and sticky stir-fries, fragrant curries and juicy dumplings have all made their mark on today’s global palate. But nothing beats the real thing, fresh from the wok. Come with us on a food tour through the night markets of Thailand, the luscious Vietnamese Mekong Delta, and the beautiful teahouses of Japan. One tip? Pack stretchy pants.

Why choose us

Real, authentic experiences

We love the highlights, but for us, the real magic is found off the tourist trails. Our trips combine iconic sites with hidden gems that you’ll only discover with Intrepid. We’re talking mornings exploring the Taj Mahal, followed by a Mughlai cooking class with a passionate home cook.

Local expertise

Whether you’re perusing markets, hunting down the best street food bites or learning how to cook centuries-old family recipes at a homestay, there’s no better way to get the inside scoop on a destination – and its culinary traditions – than with an expert local leader by your side.

Small groups

Big coaches and flag-toting tour guides don’t cut it for us. With a maximum group size of 12, our groups blend in with the locals and have plenty of opportunities to interact with chefs, street food vendors and group leaders. It also means you can really connect with your fellow foodies.

The South Korean food tour is nothing short of exceptional! Our knowledgeable and organized tour guide (YongSu) ensured we had a safe and enjoyable immersive experience. The fine details, depth and variety of experiences, really leaves you with a sense of understanding and knowing of not only Korean foods but also the beautiful culture itself. I would highly recommend this tour as it is an stress-free way to really learn about the Korean culture and foods in a deeper way than one could ever do in a self-guided journey. If travelling in September, know that it has become quite hot & humid over the last few years. If looking for cooler Fall-like temps, book in late September and October to avoid bathing in your own sweat daily.
