Local street eats & hidden kampong tour with a scenic sampan river ride
This is one of the tastiest ways to discover Kuching – a walking street food and kampong tour that blends culture, history, and local eats. You won’t just be sampling Sarawak’s legendary laksa and kolo mee – you’ll also hop on a traditional sampan boat to explore hidden kampong paths that most travellers completely miss.While many food tours just stick to the city, this one takes things further. You’ll head across the Sarawak River to the quieter kampong side of Kuching, where your guide will introduce you to the snacks locals grew up with. If you’re hungry for more than just food – curious about stories, culture, and going off the beaten path – this tour is for you.Ideal for food lovers who want a true local experience. The small group size lets your guide share personal stories, insider recommendations, and deeper cultural insights.What to ExpectSample signature Sarawak street food like laksa, kolo mee, tebaloi and kek lapisEat your way through kopitiams, bakeries, hawker centres and street stalls with a knowledgeable local guideTake a sampan boat ride across the Sarawak River like the locals doWalk through a rural kampong on the quieter side of Kuching that most tourists skipPick up insights into Sarawak’s multi-ethnic culture - Malay, Chinese, Indian and indigenous BorneanGood to KnowThe tour lasts around 4 hours and involves walking – comfy shoes are a good idea!This is a join-in experience, great for solo travellers or small groupsAll food and drink tastings, plus boat fees, are included.
