Michelin Tuk Tuk Magic! - Come with an empty stomach! The tour is amazing. Our tour guide was fun and engaging. He gave us a lot of information, even about restaurants we didn't stop at. Definitely recommend.

Good street food tour - Come hungry to this experience! There is a lot of food. It was fun being driven in a tuk tuk at night. The food was very good, more than we could eat. We also liked walking in Chinatown seeing the different food stands at night. Final part of the tour took us to see the temples at night. Our guide arranged for the tuk tuk to take us back to our hotel ( additional cost) which was really appreciated.

China town tuk tuk food tour - Was great to see and learn and taste what locals eat . The private tour is worth the exrra $ .It doesnt say when you look at booking but they even pick you up from your hotel .

Great food tour of Chinatown - The tour was based in Chinatown, we tried food and went to places we wouldn’t have without our guide. We also got to see the Grand Palace at night. Our guide Penny was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. We were picked up at the hotel and contacted the day before to confirm the pick up time and dropped back off

Very disappointing. - I chose this, among many tours for the Michelin eateries. The first was special, after that it went downhill. We only tried 3 places to eat (they included a sample of sticky rice as a meal. The last restaurant was in a deserted neighborhood and was terrible. Just a bowl of rice with a few morsels of crab,. Alex the guide was a character. He pointed out lots of ingredients- none were new to me. I expected more eating and less browsing. I left hungry.

Misleading Title and Disappointing Experience - Unfortunately, this tour did not meet expectations and felt quite misleading based on the description.
First of all, the name of the tour – “Bangkok: Michelin Guide Street Food Tour by Tuk Tuk” – is inaccurate. There was no tuk tuk ride involved for the majority of the tour. Instead, it was primarily a walking tour through Chinatown. If the tour had been described more honestly, we might have chosen differently.
One of the key points advertised – that we would visit Michelin-recommended street food stalls and hear about their history and signature dishes – was simply not delivered. There were no stories about the stalls, no mention of their background, and certainly no deeper cultural insights. It was basically just being led from one spot to another with very minimal context.
At the noodle shop, we had to stand on the street for quite some time while our guide waited in a long queue to get us seats. It would have been reasonable to expect a reservation or some preparation given the price of the tour.
The second stop was a fried Chinese-style donut (Pa Tong Go). While it was crispy and sweet, it was also quite heavy – not the kind of thing you want to eat at the beginning of a food tour. It would have made much more sense as a dessert stop toward the end of the tour. I understand this might have required a backtrack or route adjustment, but the current placement disrupted the flow of the tasting experience and left us less eager to fully enjoy the later savory dishes.
The final stop was supposed to be the iconic Jay Fai, the only street food vendor in Thailand with a Michelin star. However, we were driven past the closed restaurant with no commentary other than being told the chef is famous. This felt like a missed opportunity to add something meaningful to the experience.
We tasted four dishes in total – one of which we ate standing on the street in front of a small kiosk. There was little to no explanation accompanying the food, and overall the experience lacked structure and depth. The price was significantly higher than what was delivered.
Another issue was that we were a group of eight, and the guide spoke without any microphone or system that allowed us all to hear while walking through noisy streets. As a result, we missed most of what little information was shared.
On a positive note, the guide was friendly and made sure we were driven back to the starting point, which was farther than the advertised drop-off location – a small but appreciated gesture.
In summary, this tour lacked the Michelin-level insight and experience it advertised, and felt more like a simple, overpriced stroll through Chinatown with a few quick snacks.
