Our feasting tour of 15+ tastings invites guests on a culinary experience around the backstreets of old Phuket Town led by our team of professional foodie guides. We're Phuket's #1 food tour company on TripAdvisor. Over 5,000 guests can't be wrong. Before we get started, our tour reflects the local cuisine and the limitations of street food vendors means we unfortunately cannot cater for every dietary restriction. Here's an honest appraisal for the tour so no-one is disappointed ✔ We can cater for vegetarians and pescatarians though they may have to avoid 2-3 tastings (out of 15 total), so they won't go hungry! ✘ Unsuitable for severe shellfish and peanut allergies due to risk of traces and cross-contamination. So, of you are feeling adventurous for a foodie journey, read on!
This island and old trading post has got some serious food pedigree. Influences from all over Asia and beyond have evolved the dishes here into something truly original. That's why Phuket Town was crowned 'City of Gastronomy 2017' by UNESCO. While it's tempting to be a beach bum, those who drag themselves off the sand discover the secrets behind the island's flavours in small groups of up to 8 exclusive guests. Forget pad Thai and green curry, that's central Thai fare. We don't want to spoil the surprise, but prepare to drool as you mop up morsels with wood-fired naan, slurp bowls of smokey Hokkien noodles, work chopsticks over poh pia rolls smothered in rich tamarind sauce among many more lip-smackingly good tastings in places you'd struggle to find alone.
The tour concludes back at the start point, the Ranong Main market, located along Ranong Road in the heart of the city. Enjoy local hospitality and meet new friends along the way. End the tour armed with the knowledge you'll need to continue eating street food across Thailand.
Ms. lucky was amazing and so informative!! We had a lovely time walking around old Phuket and experiencing some very local cuisine plus the opportunity to visit mom and pop shops was the best part!! Highly recommend Ms. Lucky!!!
Our guide Gigi was one of the most adorable, friendly, knowledgeable person I’ve ever met. She made you feel welcome and instantly like a member of her extended family. The food and venues she took us to gave you the true authentic Phuket local experience. Highly highly recommend. Get away from all the tourist hotspots and exercise and learn about the true Phuket. It’s a must in my opinion.
Lucky was a great tour guide. Knowledgeable and friendly with lots of passion for food. We went to some great places and had a wonderful time trying dishes we otherwise wouldn’t have experienced
Yesterday was remarkable. We spent three hours walking through town, and Cat proved an outstanding host. Welcoming, informed, and highly amusing. I would award more stars if possible.
Best food tour I’ve done The guide Lucky was knowledgeable and very informative We went to 5 places and had 15 incredible food items Definitely recommend this tour
Absolutely fantastic. Fino was fun, knowledgeable, welcoming and approachable, and the food was to die for. Would never in a million years have found these places on my own. Do this tour.
This is by far the most informative and gastronomically satisfying food tours I have undertaken . Ms Lucky was our guide . She was friendly and highly informative. The restaetauants that we Visited encapsulated the essence of the local cuisine in all its mouth watering magnificence. Not only the best food tour but arguably the best culinary experience on our holiday in Phuket.
Our guide Lucky was very knowledgeable and spoke great English. The food itself was a wonderful example of the different cuisines that have shaped Phuket — Burmese, Chinese, and other influences from the region. Everything was delicious and well thought out. It couldn't have been a better experience. Highly recommended.
This was so much fun, and the food was amazing. Our guide Fino was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and welcoming, she made us feel like family. I wish I could do it again!
Gigi was our guide and she is very knowledgeable of the food culture associated with Thailand. She gives an in-depth history of the past and current practices of the Thai people. You can tell she has a passion for educating foreigners on the history of the country. Will absolutely book again.

We tried lots of different foods in different local spots i never would have tried on my own in 3 and a half hours. We had a very knowledgeable and kind guide Gigi. She also changed some of the orders for people who couldn't handle spice or didn't like certain things. Overall a really positive and informative time
Lucky out guide was super friendly, knowledgeable and great fun to explore the different influences of food in Phuket Town. Our tour took place during the vegetarian festival so there was a huge celebratory atmosphere everywhere. We travelled from Thailand to china to Malaysia and Myanmar with all the choices it was awesome.
This was such a fun way to experience Phuket’s vibrant food culture! Our guide, Cat, was awesome, kind, and incredibly informative. She went above and beyond to make this a fantastic birthday experience for me and was so accommodating throughout. I highly recommend this tour—by the end, you feel more like family than strangers. As for the food, every dish we tried was an explosion of flavor in the best way possible. It is definitely a foodie's dream! Cat even snapped a few photos for us as well 🥹
It was an amazing experience, we had Lucky as our guide and she made sure that we all had an enjoyable experience. We ate many different dishes, was able to support local family businesses, learn so much history and make friends with other travelers in the group! Would recommend 10/10!
Good food, variety of flavours, very knowledgeable guide
Gigi was super friendly and very accommodating. The tastings were large serves and we were super full. She always asked at each stop if we wanted more. Hint-don’t do it!! This is an excellent tour and well worth doing.
Gigi was so friendly and easy to understand. She loves Phuket and it shows! Many of the places we visited were good friends and were such great places to eat! When she discovered it was my birthday, she arranged a birthday cake for our last stop. Gigi even helped us the next day to feed elephants. Several of our food stops were Michelin certified food stops and she pointed out other places to eat not included in our tour. She made sure we stayed hydrated.
Gigi was a lovely guide with great local knowledge. We enjoyed the variety and selection of foods. Would recommend
We went on the tour with Lucky, and it was a beyond amazing experience. Their love for the culture and its history through its architecture and food is unmatched. The tour was educational and entertaining. The food was incredible at every stop; the feeling in each restaurant they took us to was homely and authentic. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get to know Thailand through good eats and great company!
Money well spent and great use of time. Our guide lucky was amazing! We got to experience eating like a local. This was an authentic experience. We wouldn’t have been able to find these spots in our own. Don’t miss out on this memorable tour around old Phuket town. We loved every meal! We even came back for more. This tour was unforgettable and enjoyed by all ages.

A truly amazing magical experience. Our guide Gigi was warm, great company and shared very interesting local knowledge in a delightful way. The food was excellent as was the menu. Do yourself a favour and take this tour as I highly recommend it.

Fabulous experience. Many thanks Gigi. Informative tour with experienced guide. Loved learning about the culinary diversity of Phuket. Great food at every stop. Go hungry as you will be well fed!
Had a fantastic tour with Ms Lucky…she was friendly, knowledgeable and the food was delicious. Would definitely recommend!
I am already making plans of when to return to Phuket next! Thank you to Ms Lucky for not only showing me the best of Southern Flavours but also telling me so much about Phuket, Thailand and all the neighbouring areas. Her knowledge is commendable and so valuable. I can’t recommend this tour to visitors enough. She really takes you on a tour of all of South East Asia and not just Phuket with how she talks about the food and culture. If you’re in Phuket, this has to be on your list.
Cat was amazing! She made the tour so much fun and she gave us a lot of information. Overall, it was a 10/10 tour!
Gigi was fabulous. Knowledgeable, a clear communicator, and generous with her time. Every single thing we ate was delicious. Come hungry because there are massive amounts of food and it’s all irresistible
