Our Phuket food tours have been voted the best culinary adventures on this food-obsessed island by TripAdvisor.
The Chinese and Malay cultures have left their gastronomic mark on Phuket along with just a pinch of Indian spice, leaving a unique cuisine found no where else in Thailand. Forget Thai green curry, papaya salad and mainland staple fare; Phuket’s proud of it’s dim sim houses and sticky, dark moo hong pork belly curry, it’s soy sauce noodles and crepe-wrapped fresh spring rolls.
Wrap your chopsticks around sticky handmade fresh spring rolls, wok-fried mee hoon, Hokkien noodles peppered with delicate prawn wontons and char sui barbecue pork, spiced chicken curry puffs, gaeng som fish curry and much more on this gastronomic island journey.
But this tour isn’t just about the food. It’s about the people and the place. Why does the city have pretty Portuguese townhouses? Why the city is festooned with Chinese temples? And what are those amulets that everyone’s wearing?

Delicious food tour - We had a great tour with Miss Lucky. She’s so funny & full of energy & had a lot of information to share with us. The food was delicious, plentiful, interesting & varying. Walking the streets was nice & easy. Great to see the old town from a locals perspective.
The tour was about 4 hours & was good value.
Thanks again Miss Lucky.

It’s been a week later and I’m still thinking about the food!!! - Last week, I had the pleasure of going on this tour with my friends led by our guide Gigi. I would be remiss to not share how amazing this experience was. I learned so much about Thai culture and cuisine within those 4 hours, and left with a newfound appreciation for the dedication that goes into creating such wonderful and flavorful meals. Not only did we learn about the food, but Gigi shared her knowledge on the history, the people, and so much more. Kob Khun Ka Gigi, thank you so much for helping create an unforgettable memory for me and taking such great care of us. Most of the restaurants we visited were small and intimate, truly feeling like a private tour. Gigi made sure every need was met and even accommodated dietary restrictions so no one felt left out. I highly recommend this tour to anyone curious about what the people of Thailand have to offer and I hope that you get the blessing of having Gigi as your guide.

Don't miss this tour - Gigi was very lovely and knowledgeable and took us to great spots with delicious food. I appreciated that it wasn't the "typical" Pad Thai and Mango Sticky Rice food but actually interesting options, many which I'd hadn't tried before. Hard to fault. Highly recommend

Great walking food tour in Phuket Old Town - Our Phuket Chefs Tour guide was Cat, and we really enjoyed our time with her. 15+ tastes at four different locations, all with Cat's commentary and insights about Phuket Thai culture. Really loved the classy tea room with exquisite treats to try one at a time.
Excellet communication with Cat via WhatsApp prior to the food tour, including picture of the meeting point and advice to plan to arrive at least 10 mins early due to unpredictable Phuket traffic. We parked our rental car at the Krabi Road Parking Lot, located close to the meeting point, (very reasonble) cost 80 THB for four hours.

Phuket Food Tour 26 - Incredible experience and a must do when in Phuket. Our guide was Cat and she was fantastic! Great sense of humour and her passion for the local food and culture was evident. We had 4 kids with us and both Cat and the vendors were so accommodating. The Thai people are so beautiful and the best food in the world is here!

Very good food tour - Very good food tour that took around 4 hours altogether. Altogether we visited 7 different places and had over 10 different dishes so come hungry. The company cares about the experiences and this is the second city tour I have done with Chef's Tour and I will do more if travel allows me.
The star dish was the dried rice porridge with pork belly , pork cooked with shrimps and pork on the side at Go Benz Rice Porridge Phuket, such a good dish and worthy of second visit.
