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.

You’ll be Lucky to choose this tour! - Lucky, our tour guide, was outstanding. I’ve never eaten so much food in one outing, ever. A real variety of stops, a complete melting pot of Asian cuisine, sprinkled with some local historical knowledge. Lucky walked at the perfect pace considering how hot it was, and was so kind hearted and happy. A true gem in the Phuket tourism sector, thank you Lucky, we wish you all the best!

We love LUCKY!!!! Favorite person in Phuket - WE LOVE LUCKY! What an unforgettable and immersive culinary experience, thanks to Lucky! She has a true talent for creating what I and my wife considered to be the best tour during our stay here in Phuket. Lucky confidently and enthusiastically lead our small group of 6 on a packed tour of some of the best restaurants in town, with each spot carrying a rich history told by Lucky and the food. Each restaurant featured cuisine from over half a dozen regions sharing cultural parallels and history with Phuket and beautiful country of Thailand. Lucky taught us all the Thai words we needed for proper manners in a Phuket restaurant and even more importantly, for expressing flavorful joy and gratitude to the welcoming shop owners of these delicious restaurants. Our group was well fed and given a true local Phuket restaurant experience, with options as well for the picky or dietary restricted! By the second to last stop we found ourselves full but unable to stop indulging in the incredible tastings facilitated by Lucky and the restaurants. We were introduced to shop owners and given plenty of care and attention in the heat; water throughout the tour and stops to take in the AC and enjoy rewarding conversations with Lucky! She is funny, warm and should honestly open up her own tour business in town because this woman made us feel at home on the opposite end of the globe! Thank you again Lucky! WE WERE LUCKY TO HAVE LUCKY! - Jesse and Alexis Chavez

Great food and awesome family day - We had an awesome day with our guide Lucky, she was very accommodating to our 7 year old son and was happy to answer any and all of our questions. The food was amazing and you cover off on so many places you’d never know about if you were just looking yourself. Food was amazing and definitely would go agai

Great Food Experience and Tour Guide - Brief history about Phuket culture and traditions. Bit of history about different food and their origin. Convenient since we walked short distance. Friendly shop owners and staff. We were taken to reputable restaurants with so many years of existence in small groups of 4 or 5.

Lucky to Tour Phuket with Lucky! - This tour was absolutely incredible. Lucky went way beyond leading a “food tour” to share the history of Phuket and the global influences of the world on its culture and food. She brought us to the most incredible places, introducing us to some of the best food we have ever tasted. She was also great to ensure we stayed hydrated and pointed out restrooms and shops along the way. Come hungry!! You will be full of food and knowledge at the end of your tour.
