Additional Information
Join us on our intimate gourmet tour, restricted to a select group of just 8 individuals each day. Phuket offers a gastronomical experience that’s second to none, a feat that was recognized when it was titled the ‘Thailand City of Gastronomy 2017’ by UNESCO. Phuket’s culinary fusion of Thai, Chinese, Malay, and Burmese cuisines truly deserves some time off the beach, and what could be a better way than exploring the undiscovered street food of Phuket Old Town. Embarking in the cool of the morning, you’ll embark on a 4 hour journey with your gourmet guide, uncovering the magic behind the island’s unique flavours. You’ll halt at various spots to relish Burmese curries with wood-fired naans at a sequestered workers teahouse, master your chopstick expertise on a serving of the best Hokkien noodles in the city, and feast on grilled pork drenched in a delectable peanut satay sauce among many other tantalizing Phuketian meals and snacks. The island has no other food experience like this.

Phuket Food tour - This is lunch tour and we started at the fresh market. I enjoy the soup at the fresh market so much, the owner of the shop is a cute couple. Adding the roti as well so delicious. We had a lots of knowledge from Lucky our guide. She so kind, friendly and helpful. The foods are very tasty, delicious, and very locally. I would recommend my family and friends for this tour.

Highly recommend - Amazing food tour of Phuket downtown! Lucky was our guide and she was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and happy! It was great to taste food from all the different regions that have influence in southern Thailand and also to check out downtown which was beautiful and well worth a visit. Would highly recommend

Best Tour with NAM - It was an extraordinary tour with an excellent tour by our guide "Nam". She not only introduced us to the food but also explained a lot about the city. Funny and very entertaining. She paid attention to each and every one of us. It couldn't have been better. We were completely thrilled

Phenomenal food tour - much more than you expect - Num num num ..... muched our way through the day. The flavours, sights, personalities, and history that make up the island of Phuket rolled into a 4-hour gastronomic adventure 😀
Phenomenal food tour. 🙏 Thank you to our incredible guide, Nam 🙏
Suffice to say, you will need to loosen your belt. I guarantee you'll finish with a new-found understanding and respect of this magical island.
This tour is much more than your usual Thai green curry and Pad Thai. Foods you have never heard of, flavours you've never experienced. Families, social structure, architecture, and environment that has shaped this wonderful melting pot of flavours.

Fantastic half-day tour of Phuket cuisine with a different culture - Although there were concerns about joining the tour, which was both from Japan and mainly conducted in English, it was a truly satisfying tour to learn about the wonderful personality of our Guide Lucky and the wide variety of delicious dishes and their backgrounds that could never be tried individually. My wife, who doesn't speak much English, was very satisfied. We encourage you to join us.

Fantastic experience, more than a food tour - A fantastic food and culture tour of the Phuket Old Town. Lucky was an excellent host, brilliant with the kids, who all had a fantastic time too. Food aplenty, each dish full of flavour, with great insight given by Lucky our guide as to it's origin and ingredients. Highly recommend.

Fantastic food tour - We did this food tour with Nam who was fantastic, she explained the history of the different cultural food in Phuket and took us to some fantastic local spots that we would have never found ourselves. We were able to try many different dishes that were delicious and learn about their origins. We had plenty of food and Nam always allowed us to ask for more or less food depending on how full we were and what dishes we enjoyed. Brilliant experience, highly recommend!

Well worth it for foodies. - Well worth the money! Nam was a great guide. Her English is very good, she has lived in Old Phuket Town for decades and knows where to go. She explains the history of the area, how the restaurants came into being and the different cultures behind the food. Don't eat before you go...
