Phuket: tour gastronomico dei sapori del sud

Ms. Lang was an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable and as friendly as they come! She also introduced us to other facets of the culture other than food, which was a nice plus. Would definitely recommend!

Tour is advertised as 4pm to 8pm online But Spent to long driving in car, and rushed with the food Not value for the price Staff were friendly which made it duable

Tour started off ok, there was only the two of us in the group. Driver arrived for our pick on time. He made some effort to explain some Thai history for us, however there was no microphone, so if we had been sitting further back in the van, we would have had no hope of hearing him, and some things were just plain hard to understand. First stop was the Chinese temple as advertised, however, it was from here things started going against the programme. We then arrived at some very local markets near a sporting field. Despite his assurances of ‘No sick’ we decided we would just play it safe with some fruit. The itinerary was then supposed to take us a to a lookout for sunset, but for some reason that didn’t happen. We then arrived in old town for some photos and some quick exploring. We were supposed to sample the shaved ice dessert and a local Thai dish (Khanom Chin), but none of that occurred. We then headed to the Chillva night time markets. Our guide went off and returned with Pad Thai, an egg dish and some mango and sticky rice (we had already had this dessert-at the previous market) Our guide then left and told us to meet him back in an hour. There was so much food to sample, and we were expecting some explanations and recommendations, but we were just left to guess. Returned back to our hotel, at around 8.30. It wasn’t until we read through the itinerary that we learned of the things we missed out on. No explanation from our guide at all. $93AUD per person for some Pad Thai and basic dessert. Extremely disappointing and poor value for money. Would not recommend.

Prompt pick up all started well ( I’d been contacted impressively in advance about food preferences and allergies and advised the operator in advance of our wishes ) guided to a Chinese temple ( very picturesque) but less relevant then off to a street market - gorgeous authentic BEST part of the trip!!! Anything we wanted we could try - but told not to have too much as the main course was in Phuket old town. Having been previously to the old town I know what to expect. Only ….. this is where the trip fell short - taken to tourist markets and then left for ages ( apparently waiting for food ) 40 mins later some shrimps / pork which I don’t eat no napkins ( other fish diners hasd gloves ans wipes, we were literally left in front of a band waiting not sure what we were doing. We were led to believe that main tour was the highlight as per previous reviews. 2 pad Thai arrived but there was four dinner akk had fish which we’d specifically said two don’t eat - all with fish and some then he turned up with chips ????? Loud noisy couldn’t wait to leave. Binned most of the food . Asked to leave. Such a shame had really high hopes. Do yourselves a favour and just get a taxi to old town market. I hoped having a guide would show us authentic selections. The local market was magic but over £40 each waste of money. Our guide was nice but then left us in Phuket so he could go home! Taxi dropped us at hotel couldn’t wait to go back to be honest.

WORST Food Tour – Do Yourself a Favor and Skip It! We've been on four other fantastic food tours, and this one was a complete disappointment. If I could rate it below one star, I would. Instead of multiple stops at restaurants, street vendors, and markets like other tours, this one included just one restaurant, an outdoor dessert stand, and a quick visit to a market—with little to no guidance from the tour guide. He didn’t explain the local foods, offer recommendations, or demonstrate how to eat unfamiliar dishes. We even had to ask for a second bottle of water—on a 95-degree day! Unlike other food tours that provided numerous tastings and ample portions, we left this one hungry. Other tours also offered unlimited beverages (water, soda, or beer), but that wasn’t the case here. To top it off, we were unexpectedly taken to two temples—completely off-topic and not what we signed up for. This tour was a complete letdown. Save your time and money—there are far better options out there!

A great trip. The food was fantastic, and our guide was very helpful and provided some great insights. I really enjoyed learning about the local culture.

We had a very nice time seeing the sights and having a taste of Phuket. Our guide was informative and our driver was very kind.

We booked this tour on 12/13 with 2 people, first of all in advance, come hungry for this trip to Phuket Old Town, we were served or offered so much food it was impossible to try everything, everything was all inclusive. There are no additional costs. Due to the fact that a food festival took place in old town, we adapted the route, which was very convenient for us. Air our tour guide told us a lot about the history of Phuket and led us to places we would not normally have visited. 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and thank you very much for the 4 hours of numerous conversations and impressions that were allowed as experienced. 🙏

Some of the best food I had in Thailand was on this tour. It was great to see local spots where the flavours aren't watered down and be recommended dishes. We ordered our own complete entrees, which was too much food given there were only two people on the tour. It would be nice to go somewhere with a tasting menu and sample small portions of many dishes instead. Friendly staff keen on taking many photos for us.

This tour was so fun! Wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised with the experience. This was a group tour and we met lovely people from all across the world. Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, kept things timed well and fun. The foods we sampled included: Mixed fried street food: prawn, chicken, fish, and lake kelp. Dessert was Thai coconut pancakes. Curry restaurant: vermicelli noodles with a choice of green, red, or peanut Thai curries. Chillva market: freshly made pad Thai, assorted street foods, and mango sticky rice for dessert. Ube coconut pancakes too! All food was included in the admission ticket. We also visited a Chinese shrine, the city view point on a hill, old town Phuket, and the Chillva market. The market was my favorite part! Highly recommend this food tour!
