Tuk Tuk Culinary Tour Luang Prabang

4.00Ployy was a good guide but not very inclusive. She walked very quickly and spoke mostly with the one (of 4) people that kept up with her. We were back to our hotel in 2 1/2 hours versus the 3 or 3 1/2 hours advertised. However, the activities we experienced were nice and fun. We were very wet as it was the beginning of the New Years celebration. The food we sampled was good.
Nothing like the description--disappointing.

3.00Guide Tony was wonderful (though sometimes hard to understand), but this was disappointing overall. The description said: "Zip through the streets and alleys of the Old Quarter as you visit local, family-run restaurants you won’t find on your own... Immersive way to experience Laotian cuisine and culture. Learn about food traditions and specialties from local families. Enjoy a more intimate experience with a small group... We only try the best local food in the city at places where only locals go that are truly off the beaten path. You won't see any other tourists, these are family-run restaurants that you can't find on your own. " There was no group, it was only me, which was awkward. We went to no restaurants and met no families all--just grabbed some food from street vendors at the night market--which I definitely could have found on my own! And I saw nothing but tourists everywhere. I definitely did not learn about any "food traditions and specialties"--or anything else. My two hour visit to the night market and eating some street food did not any way resemble the description of this tour. A pleasant enough diversion, but nothing that I expected. Disappointing.
A deep dive into Laos culture and gastronomy

5.00Me and my fiancee went on the tour with our guide Aping. We had an immediate connection with her and knew it was gonna be a great evening from the start. Aping has a great command of English, she is kind, caring and very professional. She took us to food markets where locals usually eat and allowed us to enjoy a genuine Laos gastronomical experience, while also providing valuable insight about the various buildings or monuments encountered along the way. Her sweet personality added tremendous value to an otherwise great tour. We highly recommend Aping for this tour and once again thank her for a beautiful evening and wish her all the best.
Excellent way to try local cuisine

4.00An interesting introduction to Laotian food. We visited street traders and discovered foods that the locals eat and then enjoyed a hot pot cooked at our table using fresh ingredients we had bought during the tuk-tuk Tour. Overall a fun evening.
We went to local markets...

5.00We went to local markets and bought some good food and had great BBQ at a place where only the locals hang out - great experience!!
Unexpected but good none the less

4.00We had an excellent time enjoying Lao BBQ with Tony and Mong. The experience wasn’t quite what we expected- less of a tour and more so a dinner with locals. We did stop at the night market and had some tea and were given mango sticky rice to go. We were given a LOT of BBQ so definitely didn’t leave hungry, but it wasn’t explained that we wouldn’t be going to other stops to sample other dishes.
Super Tuk Tuk Tour

5.00Our guide, Tony, was super. Took us through the various shopping and food areas of the night market. Tasted many good and interesting local foods. Then we settled down for delicious Laos hot-pot cooked over charcoal. Tony was very interesting and open to discussing Laos culture and traditions.
Wonderful Guide, wonderful tour

5.00Aping is a wonderful guide. She took us to restaurant out side the main tourist area for a Hot Pot dinner with a view over the Mekong where we could watch the sunset cruise boats go by. Then we went to a local Laotian night markets to try several local foods. And finally back to the main night market in Luang Prabang for a smoothie and coconut pancakes (a must try). Along the way, Aping told us interesting stories about Laos and the Luang Prabang area.
