This was my first time taking a Secret Food Tour and it was outstanding. Our guide Mindy was flexible, fun, and totally adaptable. When a place was closed, she had another ready. We visited so many interesting places and ate great food in just the right portions. It was a great way to see Old Town Phuket and would recommend it especially during this lovely cool season.

What an amazing experience. So many delicious foods to try. Great tour around places you'd never find on your own. We tried to return to two, both were sold out by afternoon, they were that good. We did manage to get into the restaurantwhere we had the fantastic moo kong (pork stew? Warangkana our guide was fantastic. I'd highly recommend this tour.
