This was a great tour. Cat, our guide, was very knowledgeable, and she was a delight. We learned so much and enjoyed the food that we tasted. Wonderful experience! The picture shows a local cooking naan in a stone oven (on the roof of the oven!)

What a fantastic experience we had. Lucky was superb, full of fascinating information about the country's culture, history, ingredients and meals, but in a fun and relaxed way. We learnt so much about the melting pot of cultures here. We ate meals from China, Malaysia, Burma and Thailand. To see the energy of the local market who supply all the restaurants and locals alike was fabulous. And to meet the restaurant owners was great too. Go hungry... there is a lot of food!
Rod_N, Jun 2026
Traveled with a group. We all enjoyed the large size portions. Learned about history. Lucky, the tour guide, did a great job!
Jacob_B, Jun 2026
This food tour was amazing! Cat was awesome, kind, & very knowledgeable. We enjoyed trying all the different foods and walking around the town. Learning about different cultures & Phuket’s history was the best part as well as our tour guide, Cat! Highly recommend this food tour!!! She even gave us extra desserts to take home and try for our honeymoon!! We love Cat!!!!

Our food tour with Lucky was absolutely fantastic! She is funny, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring, making everyone feel welcome and comfortable from the moment the tour started. Her passion for the local food scene and culture really shined through, and I learned so much while enjoying some amazing food along the way.
Every stop was thoughtfully chosen, and Lucky shared interesting stories, local insights, and recommendations that made the experience even more special. She kept the group engaged, entertained, and well taken care of throughout the tour.
A special shoutout to Jack and the two beautiful Susans—it was wonderful meeting such lovely people and sharing this experience together. Great food, great company, and lots of laughs made for an unforgettable day.
Overall, this tour exceeded my expectations. Lucky made it fun, informative, and memorable, and I was a little sad when it ended. If you’re looking for a food tour that combines delicious food, local culture, and an amazing guide, this is the one to book! Highly recommended!

Wonderful tour!
Lucky was such good company (I was only participant).
I learned so much about the town, its culture and of course its food.
Particularly lovely was to meet the owners of the different restaurants we visited.
A great day out that I thoroughly recommend.
Thanks Lucky 😀

This tour provided us with many tastings (hardy portions!) of food from the diverse cultures that make up the Phuket population. Our "super-guide" (as the locals called her), Pathu, was very friendly and knowledgeable, and kept us full and hydrated. The food was delicious and plentiful, and just when you thought you couldn't eat another bite, we had this wonderful dessert made with fig jelly, fruit, ice and honey that was very refreshing. I somehow found room for that! This is a fun way to work your way around old town Phuket, and finish with some shopping.
Lisa_W, May 2026
Great tour with Gigi! We visited many interesting restaurants and tried a wide variety of local dishes. We also learned a lot about the history and culture of this area.
Evy_E, May 2026
It was an absolutely wonderful experience! Our guide was amazing. We had great bites and were so full by the end.

It is in the old town of Phuket, a foodies dream. A place I wouldn't have known to visit but it is the coolest place after the tour we stayed for the night markets which started around 4:30 and I believe only on Sunday. Our guide Gigi was so loveable and everything we tasted was amazing. Discovered so many different dishes. I would recommend this to everyone.
Victoria_T, Apr 2026
Gigi was an excellent tour guide. She spoke to us about the history of Old Town and our culinary experience. The food was absolutely delicious at all stops, the Gigi was very attentive and accommodating to each of our needs. Would highly recommend!
Georgina_C, Apr 2026
Huge thanks to Cat for an incredible half-day! We not only learned so much about Phuket’s culture but also got to taste plenty of authentic local dishes. It was a truly amazing journey—highly recommend it to everyone!
William_S, Apr 2026
We had a great time with Kat. She was a great guide and the food was fantastic. Each one of the restaurants we stopped at was delicious.
Robert_L, Apr 2026
The food choices were excellent and our tour guide, Lucky, was very knowledgeable about the food and the various cultures. It was not only a tour of food but also a mini walking tour of Old Town
carlyjbb, Apr 2026
Highly recommend this tour, it's a great way to see Old Phuket City, learn about the history and sample some different foods.
As per the briefing this is not traditional Thai food sampling, we sampled food made by 4th generation Chinese vendors, visited and sampled food from Maynamar, saw fresh spring rolls being made and finished off with some tasty desserts. Their was ample food, nobody was hungry.
Lucky was an awesome guide, she was very informative, made sure we had water, didn't rush the group and then arrange transport for us back to our hotel (as we had issues with our original driver).
Lucky is a great asset to the team and its clear she loves what she does.
I would highly recommend this tour. Thanks

We were lucky enough to have Lucky as our tour guide. We booked last minute but the company and Lucky were incredibly responsive and provided detailed information about how to best enjoy the experience with our 7 month old baby. We were able to leave the stroller and Lucky was very accommodating to our needs. It was a well organised tour and the food was delicious! Lots of information about the cuisines as well as the history of the area was provided and Lucky was very knowledgeable. It was us and one other couple so the tour felt very relaxed an we could go at our own pace. I highly recommend taking this tour!
Whitney_v, Apr 2026
This was a great way to get away from just the regular Thai dishes, getting a chance to try things from many different regions, including Burma, and places from around Thailand, with influences from Malay and Chinese ancestry! My guide Fon was awesome and so knowledgeable, sharing so much, not only about the food we tried but the places we walked!! But, definitely come HUNGRY! It’s a marathon, not a sprint, and you’re going to want to try it all!!
Elizabeth_V, Apr 2026
So much fun! We tried over 18 dishes and got to experience the variety of cultures that make Thailand so incredible. Our guide, Hon, was kind and knowledgeable! Would recommend to anyone!
KeiLin_G, Apr 2026
This was a fantastic food tour. Our guide lucky was extremely knowledgeable and personable. She told us the history of all the food we ate, and told us about the culture of the people who made it. 10/10 would recommend
John_M, Mar 2026
Lucky our guide was amazing. We had an exceptional day. The food was amazing and a large variety of dishes from different cultures. The volume of food was well worth the cost of the tour, but we also learnt about the background and culture of the dishes. Highly recommend to anyone considering this trip.
LanJericha_F, Mar 2026
Our guide, Gigi, was very friendly and knowledgeable, not only about the cuisine, but the history of Phuket and Thailand as a whole. It was an immersive experience with diverse restaurants and food. I would definitely recommend.
Mary_O, Mar 2026
Everyone in my group loved this tour! Cat, our guide, was amazing (6/5 stars to Cat!) highly recommend for the food but also meeting the lovely chefs at each stop.
Paul_G, Mar 2026
This was fantastic. Our guide Cat not only explained each food item we tried but gave us a history of the food and Thailand. We tried food we had never had before. You experience foor from other cultures as well which made it special.
Kristian_C, Mar 2026
Wow, what an amazing tour. Gigi, our guide, was super knowledgeable about the food and history of the Phuket region and beyond. The food was super delicious and you’ll leave really full. What a great way to experience the history of an area through food. Highly recommend!
Bianca_H, Mar 2026
A great way to experience the breadth of local Thai cuisine. We thoroughly enjoyed all the dishes we tried. Our guide, Cat, was a wealth of information about not only the food we were trying, but the rich history of Phuket Town and Thailand in general. We would recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys new culinary experiences and expanding their cultural knowledge.
Jonathan_B, Mar 2026
Wonderful and educational food tour by Lucky. She was super knowledgeable and made it fun too.
We went on a food journey visiting different restaurants and trying different foods.
We highly recommend you book this if you love food and are visiting Phuket
cbff6wvmsn, Feb 2026
Miss Lucky was a great guide! She took our group of 8 to spots that featured Thai, Chinese, Malaysian, and Burmese food. Come hungry!!!
Linda_B, Feb 2026
This was an amazing day. Our guide Kat, was very informative and let stay at places as long as we needed. The food was absolutely delicious and very filling.
Crystal_P, Feb 2026
Gigi was simply amazing!! I really loved all of the stops and all the information that Gigi gave us on this tour. All of the places that we stopped at were delicious and had it not have been for this tour I probably wouldn’t have ever thought to stop at them and get something to eat. The last desert stop was so unique and delicious, that it ranks as my second favorite of the tour. I would highly recommend this tour and make sure that you have plenty of room in your belly. I walked away feeling extremely full.
darren_b, Feb 2026
Gigi our guide was amazing, she really did know all the information on every dish and how they were prepared. The food throughout was class. Well worth it. Go hungry because thats a lot of food!
