Detailed itinerary
1
Our daytime feasting tour of 15+ tastings, invites guests on a food adventure around Krabi Old Town. It's a carefully curated culinary experience, led by our team of professional food guides.
Before we get started, our tour reflects the local cuisine, & the limitations of street food vendors means we unfortunately cannot cater for every dietary restriction. Here's an honest appraisal for the tour, so no-one is disappointed:
✘ Unsuitable for vegetarian diets sorry, as there would be 4-5 less tastings. ✓ Suitable for mild gluten & lactose intolerances, but we advise against ✖️ celiac disease, as there are traces of gluten with unavoidable soy sauce. ✖️ Unsuitable for severe allergies & halal diets, due to the risk of traces & cross-contamination.
If you are feeling adventurous for a foodie journey, read on!
