💡 TourBookGo tip

Leave enough time to reach San Chao Jui Tui Shrine. Look for the guide on the outside steps or at the small Cha Chang café across the road and to the left.

A genuinely small groupThe eight-person limit makes it easier to follow the explanations and move through the Old Town streets and alleyways.

Variety without a rigid promiseMost of the listing advertises more than 15 tastings, while another section refers to more than ten. Expect the menu, venues and final quantity to change.
