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.

Explore Korean history and culture through the food and activities on this tour. Learn about Korea and spend time with a great group of people. The chance to experience local life and religion is fascinating- the lunch with a Busan local, as well as the hannok and temple stays being real highlights. A great starting point for anyone with an interest in Korea.

Real Food Sri Lanka was a great way to see parts of Sri Lanka not possible with independent travel. We met and ate at mostly local peoples homes where we were welcomed and looked after, in some cases entertained. Group leader was outstanding, a passionate, thoughtful and sensitive man. The trip was varied and well paced, plenty to do each day., not just food oriented either. I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend.

Although worthwhile as an introduction to Korea, its food and culture as a whole, I did not find our guide to be very helpful with deeper insights. Best to read up on one's own beforehand. And visit the museums!
