Good food & drink tours fill up through the cool season and the best go first. Below: the 7 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Taste Luang Prabang specialties by tuk-tuk, from Lao BBQ and hot pot to coconut pancakes, with local guides and hotel pickup.
“We went to local markets and bought some good food and had great BBQ at a place where only the locals hang out - great experience!!”

“The tour guide was very fun and engaging - she taught us a lot about Luang Prabang”
Taste 15+ Lao dishes in Luang Prabang, from Mekong fish to khao piak sen, with local guides, drinks, temple culture, and a tuk-tuk ride.
“We had a great time on our tour with Som. He was very knowledgeable and shared a ton of history about Luang Prabang, as well as giving insight into local culture. We really enjoyed all of the foods we tried, and got to try a ton of food that we likely wouldn’t have tried if not for this tour. Thanks Som!”
Cruise the Mekong at sunset from Luang Prabang with a Lao tasting platter, solar boat, mojito, river ritual, and hotel pickup.
“Average. They didn’t check our tickets properly and if we didn’t ask for the tasting dinner we would have missed out. Cocktails were mostly all sold out and the one we had wasn’t very nice. The fish release isn’t you doing it yourself but the wishes and worries was a nice idea. Not sure if I’d do this again nor recommend”
Taste 15+ Lao dishes, visit morning markets and a wood-fired bakery, and explore Luang Prabang by foot and tuk-tuk.
“Great experience. We tasted a variety of excellent food in interesting establishments. Guide was really friendly and enthusiastic”
Taste 15+ Lao dishes on a small-group Luang Prabang food tour with market stops, local drinks, bakery visit, and tuk tuk rides.
“Excellent tour! More food than I could eat! Definitely get your moneys worth. The market was my favorite as I would never have been able to taste and try these foods on my own. I did the morning tour”
Taste Luang Prabang street food, visit local craft workshops, and explore by bike or on foot during this friendly half-day tour.
“Great experience, excellent guide who was very relaxed and friendly. Really interesting insight into foods and recipes as well as local crafts. Lovely way to see a bit of Luang Prabang”
