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 lucious 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.

I definitely learned more about the Korean and their rich culture. It was fun to sample Korean food and see the sights.

This trip is excellent - a great mix of food, culture, and activities. It’s somewhat rigorous in terms of covering a lot of ground relatively quickly, but I appreciated that we got to see and do so much!

I had a great time! Pam was an amazing guide. We ate delicious Korean staples (some that have made it to the states, and many new tastes) and tried some adventurous bites.

Great trip! Tried a good variety of traditional Korean food and had unique food experiences, but still had good cultural tourism activities as well. Would definitely recommend to anyone who likes Korean food, but be prepared for A LOT of food
