About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 432hall0 contributionsA Wonderful Culinary JourneyIt wasn't only the delicious food that made this tour so enjoyable- it was the cheerful enthusiasm of the tour guide, Gigi. She chose to visit 5 out- of-the- ordinary restaurants that most visitors would rarely find on their own. Our first stop was at a very small food stand a few steps down from the street. A bowl of Rice Noodles with Crispy Pork Belly was served. It was a delicious start to our morning tour. It truly had a "homemade" taste. Our next stop was to a restaurant popular with the Myanmar crowd. The food was unusually different than a regular Thai meal. I enjoyed some new tastes and flavors. It was here that Gigi's knowledge of the food, the restaurant and the people who frequented this restaurant was so informative and entertaining... another reason why this tour was so enjoyable. Our last stop was to a cafe where we enjoyed a special desert, one that was brand new to me. It was called Ai Yu Jelly with Yusu honey syrup. Absolutely delicious! What a treat! What a tour! Of all the great things you could do in Phuket this tour is certainly one of them. And thanks again, Gigi, for creating one of the highlights of my time spent in Phuket.Written 7 February 2025
- LoloetOlo0 contributionsGreat food, great timeWe had a great time and the food was really nice. NAM our guide for the 4 hours is very friendly and gave us plenty of information. She’s very smiley, and professional. A big thank you to her.Written 6 February 2025
- jessicae580 contributionsAmazing!The food tour was amazing. We got to visit so many local places and try authentic food. It was great to support the locals and see how the food was made. All of it was delicious! I am very full now. Our tour guide Gigi was amazing - so lovely and knowledgable. She taught us a lot not only about the food, but about the culture and history of Phuket too. Thank you Gigi 🤩Written 5 February 2025
- N7747RPshannonl0 contributionsDefinitely recommend!Food was so yummy and Gigi was a fantastic guide!! Would recommend to anyone looking to try local flavors and to have a guide make all the ordering decisions. I have a food allergy and our guide was so attentive to this and made sure everything was good before I tried it.Written 5 February 2025
- kim n0 contributionsDon’t miss this tour - better than dinner reservationsOur guide Cat was wonderful! She provided an excellent selection of stops on our tour a ton of food. She knew the local kitchens extremely well and was warmly received. We had tables waiting for us. The food came quickly. The tour was very well orchestrated. Cat told us a lot about the food and the background of the food as we tried many different varieties and backgrounds. We were beyond full. She also shared about Thai life. We loved it!Written 30 January 2025
- ratis20250 contributions10/10 would recommendThe food was delicious and Lucky was a great guide. Very informative and interesting. Would definitely recommend going with an empty stomach.Written 28 January 2025
- originalRobE0 contributionsHighly recommendMy wife and I did the walking food tour of old Phuket area. Our guide, Lucky, was excellent. For us, the essence of a place is rooted in its food and its people. The food tour gave us an opportunity to try signature dishes from a number of family restaurants that had been operating sometimes for generations. We recommend the tour as a novel way for getting to know old PhuketWritten 24 January 2025
- Mike W0 contributionsReview for Lucky - The Best Tour Guide in Thailand ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Lucky was an absolutely fantastic tour guide who truly made our experience unforgettable. She took us to hidden gems and local spots that most tourists would never find, giving us a genuine taste of Thailand’s authentic cuisine and culture. Every stop was thoughtfully planned, and each dish we tried was bursting with flavor—a true representation of Thailand’s culinary wonders. What set Lucky apart was her incredible knowledge of each dish and the rich cultural history behind it. She shared fascinating stories about the origins of the recipes, the significance of the ingredients, and how these meals have been passed down through generations. It wasn’t just about tasting the food; Lucky made it an immersive cultural experience that connected us deeply to Thai traditions. Her detailed explanations added so much value to every bite and gave us a newfound appreciation for Thai cuisine. On top of that, her friendly attitude and warm, welcoming demeanor instantly put us at ease. Lucky’s passion for her country, its history, and its flavors shone brightly throughout the tour. This is an absolute must-do if you’re in the area! Don’t miss the chance to explore Thailand’s hidden culinary treasures with her as your guide—you’ll leave with full hearts, full stomachs, and memories to cherish forever. Eric :)Written 18 January 2025
- Chookieontour0 contributionsGreat way to explore old town on foot, and try local dishes!Lucky was a great informative guide, with a sense of humour and passion for food. Come with an empty stomach. Pace your self as you will roll back to your hotel. Communication from booking to end of tour was great, clear and honest.Written 16 January 2025
- Mobile005146422500 contributionsExcellent Food TourWonderful food tour with Cat as our guide. Learned a little bit about the history of the food we ate and she took us to some wonderful local places we never would have tried on our own. Come hungry as the portions are generous with many stops. Highly recommend and would do another tour in the future.Written 12 January 2025
- LimCT1680 contributionsA Flavorful Journey: Discovering Authentic Thai Cuisine with CatOur guide, Cat, was fantastic, and the six of us thoroughly enjoyed her food tour. Lasting about 3.5 to 4 hours, we indulged in a variety of dishes, including popiah (food wrap), noodles, “food bomb,” “food party,” rice with local specialties, and even a stop at a Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant. I think Malaysians and Singaporeans will find the Baba Phuket Peranakan food tour to be unique and delightful. While some dishes shared similar names, the flavors and tastes were distinctly Thai, setting them apart from what Malaysian/Singaporean would be used to. Cat was very knowledgeable, attentive, and flexible to our needs. The walking terrain was flat, making it accessible even for an eighty-year-old. I highly recommend this tour for an “off the beaten path” experience that offers an authentic taste of where the locals dine.Written 5 January 2025
- siobhanh20250 contributionsA great food tour!The tour was fantastic and our tour guide Lucky was really helpful, informative, and funny. Each stop on the tour provided us with a warm welcome and a taster of lovely food, each covering tasters from different countries. Would thoroughly recommend this tour, but make sure you don’t eat before you go as you’ll be well fed!Written 2 January 2025
- greatexpectjasons0 contributionsA delicious way to spend an afternoonThis was one of the best food tours we've ever done. Our tour guide Peach was so wonderful. More than just moving from plate to plate, she explained how things were made, what the ingredients were, and when locals would eat these things. It was more of a cultural exchange over food. As always, we should've paced ourselves better. So much food and all tasty.Written 28 December 2024
- TMarkin0 contributionsThis tour is a gem!That was one of the best experiences. Such a great flavour tour. Super nicely organises. Make sure you come real hungry!Written 22 December 2024
- Igorchohr120 contributionsAmazing Baba Tastes tour with Lucky!Thoroughly enjoyable food tour! We have tried probably 15-20 local dishes, all of which were equally delicious and interesting - which we would not have tried on our own. Our tour guide Lucky was very kind and knowledgable about the food and Thailand generally so our experience was nothing short of amazing! Highly recommended!Written 20 December 2024

Our experience on the Southern Flavors food tour was exceptional, thanks to our fantastic guide, Nam. She expertly led us through the best spots in town, treating us to a delightful array of local cuisine. The amount of food we sampled was generous and truly showcased the region's culinary gems.
Nam's insights into the historical background of the dishes added depth to our culinary adventure, making it not just a feast for the palate but also a journey through Southern history. Her passion for the food and culture was evident throughout the tour, enhancing our enjoyment and understanding.
Overall, the Southern Flavors tour exceeded our expectations and was well worth the investment. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore the authentic flavors of the South with a knowledgeable and engaging guide like Nam.

We had a fantastic time on the Southern Flavours Phuket Food tour, led by our guide Nam. It was a perfect group size of 8 like-minded people, and Nam had let the cooks know of people's dietary requirements ahead of time, so they didn't miss out on tasty meals or wait a longer amount of time to be served. The food was always hot and ready to serve on our arrival!
I was a little apprehensive about the price at first, but the tour included 7 stops and we were fit to burst by the end! I would definitely recommended skipping breakfast/lunch to get the most out of the experience, but Nam was flexible in ordering smaller portions/portions to share. We were served full portions of some meals combined with sharing plates, and it also included local drinks to try. We were gifted plenty of bottles of water along the way and there were scheduled bathroom stops in clean, Western style washrooms.
Nam obviously had a great relationship with each of the establishments (a mixture of food markets, food stalls and restaurants), and we wouldn't have found all of these wonderful places by ourselves. The food was exceptional and covered a range of local cuisines, including sweet and savoury options. Nam's knowledge about ingredients, local cultures and history was very impressive, and she has a very high standard of the English language. There wasn't a question she couldn't answer!
We would highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a chance to try tasty and authentic foods, and to explore lovely Phuket Old Town with a knowledgeable guide.

I highly recommend joining this food tour! Throughout the tour you learn about the history of Phuket and each stop tells a story about a different ethnic group in the city. If you can, take this tour with Nam! She has incredible knowledge about the city and all the foods we tried. It is also great value because you will leave very full as you try 10+ items throughout the afternoon

We were lucky to be the only couple for the slot we booked so we had Nana as our food guide all to ourselves. Nana was very knowledgeable about the history of the ingredients, dishes and general information about Phuket's history and culture. Definitely worth skipping breakfast for (we did the 1030 start) as there is much to try at each food stop! Highly recommend and perhaps the earlier slot if available as at some points it was very warm/sweaty between 1200-1300 at peak heat time walking between food stops. However, there were plenty of cooling drinks options and bottled water along the way to stay hydrated.

Nam was an amazing guide, she took us to a whole range of places and delighted our tastebuds along the way. Not only did we taste a lot of different dishes we also learnt about the rich culinary history of Phuket and the food influences driven by migration from various other parts of the world. We left very full, happy, more knowledgable and, as someone who works in the food industry, also very inspired by what we learnt. Thank you Nam! Would 100% recommend to anyone keen to get away from the tourist food of the beaches and enjoy some proper local food.

Tour Guide Gigi gave us a wonderful four hours tasting food that we would not have found on our own. There was a wide range of cuisines and plenty available, so pace yourself. Besides learning about food, Gigi explained Phuket history, the food and the people who prepared it, and about everyday life in Phuket.
I recommend this tour, but be flexible in case the sequence of places to be visited is rearranged to avoid crowds.

This food tour was a highlight of my solo trip to Phuket, a gem I discovered through a blogger. Our guide, Khun Nam, was an effervescent host with a personality straight out of a food travel show. She immediately put the entire group at ease, fostering a warm and joyful atmosphere that helped us bond quickly. We did more than just eat; we laughed together, thanks to Khun Nam's engaging style.
The tour began with a visit to a local market, where she shared insights about regional ingredients. From there, we sampled dishes at multiple venues, each deserving an 11/10 rating for Michelin-quality food.
If you're a solo traveler keen to explore both Phuket Old Town and its culinary scene, I highly recommend this tour. It's worth every penny! Khun Nam even surprised us with a birthday cake, adding a personal touch to an already fantastic experience. I can't wait to return and bring my family along for the tour!

This was a fantastic tour that wasn't just about going around to eat good food, but also to hear about, for example, what a dish consisted of, where it originated from and how that came about, etc - the explanations weren't lectures but presented in a short, sweet and funny way that kept the atmosphere light, thanks to our guide Lucky.
My tour group consisted of two families and Lucky took the time to make sure both families got on ok together (helps for a 4-hour tour), and facilitated interactions and coordinated each experience at each eatery we were brought to, so we were all well-attended to.
In this day and age, anyone can google for well-rated places and go around eating on their own, but Lucky really gave so much value-add with her knowledge, the way she shared information about each dish and its culture, about Phuket itself and its history and people, etc.
My parents were really impressed and kept saying throughout the tour just how great everything was, how if we were on our own there would be lots we wouldn't have known, and how the tour made for a richer experience.
Extra bonus was how the tour brought us to local businesses, how Lucky would introduce us to the local eatery owners, and we got to interact a little with them - it's great to know who's behind the food you eat, and that just makes the feasting that bit more meaningful.
Next time we're in town, we're definitely going to also make time to attend their other Phuket Tour about Baba food.

My experience with A Chef's Tour in Phuket Old Town was nothing short of amazing! This was truly the highlight of our trip, thanks to our fantastic guide, Nam, who went above and beyond in every way.
From the moment we met Nam, her warmth, enthusiasm, and deep knowledge of the local cuisine set the tone for an unforgettable tour. She took us on a culinary journey through the hidden gems of Phuket Old Town, guiding us to some of the most authentic and delicious spots you’d never find on your own. Every stop was carefully selected, with Nam explaining the history, culture, and unique flavors of each dish in such an engaging way.
The variety and quality of the food were exceptional – from savory street food to local delicacies we had never heard of, every bite was a new adventure. Nam made sure everyone in our group felt taken care of, accommodating dietary preferences and answering all our questions with patience and expertise.
What really stood out was Nam's personal touch. She didn’t just guide the tour; she shared stories, gave insights into the lives of the local vendors, and ensured that every detail was perfect. Her passion for food and Phuket’s culture truly made the experience one-of-a-kind.
If you’re visiting Phuket and love food, this tour is an absolute must! Ask for Nam – she is a star and made this tour one we will always remember. Thank you for an incredible experience!

Tour taken 15 October 2023.
If you are looking to tour eateries the locals visit and eat at, this is the one for you. Jayuree, our guide, was knowledgeable, informative, engaging, patient and accommodating. The tour takes in 6 different locations, from Thai, to Thai Chinese, Halal, and Myanmar themed locations to name a few.
The food at each location was packed full of amazing flavours, backed up by being cooked to perfection. I am unable to fault any of the six locations.
The amount of food provided over the tour was staggering and, by the end, everyone in our group was struggling to eat more food. It was however difficult to pace yourself early, simply because the food and flavours were so moreish.
All eateries with exception to the last one were not airconditioned. They all have fans so one can get a bit uncomfortable with the heat. This is by no means a negative on the tour operators or the tour itself, rather just a function of the Thai climate.
Ice cold drinks are on offer at each location however, ice towels or portable mini fans will come in handy if you struggle in this climate.
For me, the tour experience living up to the reviews on this site in addition to what I have taken away culturally, spiritually and culinary wise translates in to a 10/10 rating.
Would I recommend this to my friends and family, absolutely.

Written 5 November 2019
10-2, as advertised. The tour guide is enthusiastic and kept feeding us more stuff though so it could have gone til 2:30. The area is great for shopping and walking around so if arranging a cab, you might want to be picked up an hour or two later than that even. If you do the tour on a Sunday (if available), they close the street down for a night market, which sounded incredible. Sadly, I missed it in my time there.
