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 🥹
