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.

Great way to experience Phuket - This tour is amazing. The food is all incredible and authentic. The tour guide, Nam, was awesome and gave really interesting insights into some of the history of different communities in Old Phuket Town. Felt like we got to visit all the local best kept secret places to eat. I highly recommend this tour and will definitely do it again.
There is a lot to eat, so you probably wanna skip breakfast.

Foodies delight - not to be missed! A sweet salty sour treat for your tastebuds. - Who thought a tour in old town Phuket would take us on an around the world food tasting. Wow, not just amazing Thai dishes, but Indian, Chinese and Myanmar as well.
Our guide Lucky was so nice, knowledgeable and helpful we were lucky to have her.
It was an easy walk around the Markets with explanations of ingredients in dishes then the walk in beautiful old town. We never would have found or even tried some of the dishes or drinks we ate. If you want to experience some different dishes don’t miss this. We enjoyed everything but did struggle to eat everything. Do not eat breakfast! This is a great and really enjoyable tour and we highly recommend it. Thank you so much Lucky

Fun morning - My second food trip with Nana around Old Phuket town. The food portions were generous and the dishes were delicious. The pace was just nice and I was very stuffed when the tour ended. Nana was a wonderful host, she really likes what she does, and the tour was more fun because of her.

Must Try Start of Trip Activity in Phuket - The food tour was fantastic - it was such a great blend of great bites, cultural/historical insights, and fun sights in Phuket old town. Highly recommend to do this early on your trip - we did this tour day 1 and it really set the tone for engaging with this city. Nam was a fantastic guide, and you could tell she not only loves her job, she loves the people hosting us at each stop along the way. The warmness of the connections made the food taste even better!

A cultural food adventure in Old Phuket Town - A cultural tour of the different styles of cuisine brought to Phuket over the centuries. Integrated with the tour is old Phuket Town architecture and history. Meeting the owners/families in their restaurants, seeing their pride in sharing their food culture was special. All delicious. Nam our guide was very informative and pleasant.

Excellent Thai Food Tour - The 4 hour food tour in Phuket is a great eating and learning experience. You get to taste all the tastes of the many cuisines which contribute to ‘Thai’ food. That means Chinese noodle dishes, Muslim curries, Indian naan and daal, as well as Michelin recommended coconut crepes.
You do this while strolling the streets of Old Town Phuket and getting insights on the town’s history from Nam, our terrific guide, who very knowledgeable and makes the whole experience fun.
You walk away quite full, because the food is delicious and plentiful, but also understanding more about Thai culture and the history of Phuket. Highly recommended!

Amazing tour, best way to see the market - The tour was amazing. Judie/Lucky gave us a great overview of how the different types of cuisines ended up in Thailand. It was a great bit of history to give context to the dishes we were about to try. She also had some phrases for us to learn as went to different eating establishments, which was really helpful. She had a great relationship with all the businesses and we felt really welcome. The food was amazing, and even though I came hungry, I was incredibly full at the end. Absolutely amazing experience.
