These are all select multi-day cycle trips that showcase a country's food particularly well. For those with a little less time make sure to check out the appetizing selection of Half-day Food Tours also in this list.

1 - Myanmar

“Shan State is the garden of Myanmar and produces the majority of vegetables so these are fresh and tasty (great tomatoes and potatoes!); there's lake fish at Inle plus a great variety of fruit. There's also a few different kinds of specialty rice cracker; they grow coffee and different types of tea, one of which goes into the unique "laphet thoke" - the fermented green tea leaf salad, a local dish quite popular with visitors. Inle, Bagan & The Irrawaddy tour allows you to explore this region's unique food and also include a trip to Bagan, the renowned ancient temple town” - Steve Locke - Country Manager Myanmar

2- Vietnam

“The Mekong Delta is often referred to as Vietnam’s ‘rice bowl’ but it’s much much more. The region produces the majority of the country’s fresh fruits and vegetables. On the Mekong Delta in Style tour we visit the largest wholesale produce market at Vinh Kim, where hundreds of vendors sell produce for distribution along the entire length of Vietnam. The Delta is now also the country’s top producing region for cocoa. Vietnam’s up and coming prominence in chocolate production was recently featured in the NY Times. On tour we sample raw cocoa and see the fermentation method that results in award winning, Marou chocolate.” - Stephen Grace - Grasshopper Adventures Brand Ambassador

3 - Cambodia

“Cambodia’s cuisine is often underrated when compared to its neighbours Thailand and Vietnam, however there are still plenty of tasty local delights to discover when cycling across the country. The Cycle Angkor to the Sea tour introduces you to a wide spectrum of Cambodian cuisine. From Siem Reap you explore Tonle Sap lake and its abundance of freshwater fish and other natural food resources. Heading toward the coast you can experience Kampot’s world renowned fresh picked pepper, which gives a very unique and delicious flavor to southern Cambodian cooking. Finally along the coast at Kep and Sihanoukville we experience a plethora of seafood delicacies. No fish on ice here as the seafood is fresh caught daily. This tour is one of the best routes to discover the diversity of Cambodian cooking.” - Daniel Roper Jones - Grasshopper’s Visual Media Editor

4 - Thailand

“Thai cuisine is well known and loved around the world and fresh seafood basically speaks for itself, combine the two together and you have a match made in heaven! We have a handful of tours that explore Thailand’s beautiful coastline with Cycle Bangkok to Phuket being our newest offering. It truly is one for the cyclists and foodies, connecting two of the country’s iconic destinations via quiet back-tracks and tropical coastal roads and along the way we really focused on picking out the best places for food from what is already an impressive line-up. The seafood you can try here is some of the best the country has to offer." - William Tuffin - Country Manager Thailand
