Full description
This is a 4-hour experience in Phuket. It is run by A Chef's Tour, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
Japanese food tours work because the best places are small, unmarked and full of regulars, and a guide who orders for you opens them. An izakaya crawl covers yakitori, sashimi, karaage and the local pours of sake, shochu and highballs across three or four counters in an evening; a ramen walk explains the broths, tonkotsu, shoyu, miso and shio, and the regional styles. Most places seat eight to twelve and tours run six to eight guests for that reason. Vegetarians should say so when booking, because dashi stock is fish and hidden in almost everything; halal-certified options exist but are fewer.
The price covers 15+ food tastings, Guide and Bottled water and local soft drinks. It does not cover Alcoholic drinks and Hotel pickup and drop-off, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.
Ranong Main Market. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with A Chef's Tour before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Wonderful tastes of Phuket old town Juli 2026 Gigi guided me and my wife through the wonderful tastes of Phuket. She even organised all meals for us to be vegetarian/pescetarian. All stops on the tasing route felt so nice as she knew and introduced us to the restaurant owners and cooks. We tried so many nice dishes and got all Information about the ingredients history of the food, the restaurants and the old town of Phuket. We really enjoyed the time with Gigi showing us the Phuketarian cuisine and culture of cooking and eating. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity!
Brilliant!!! Gigi is a fantastic guide and this tour gives you great cultural and culinary insights. We had so much fun! The food is generous portions and so delicious. These are places I would not have found by myself and food I would not have chosen on my own. I will highly recommend this tour!!!
Had an amazing gastronomic journey with Gigi! She has so much knowledge and explained everything so nicely. I tried a wide array of foods that gave an insight into how various communities that live in Phuket have shaped the food habits. Particularly enjoyed the Roti Taewnam with Masaman Chicken Curry at Michelin Guide, the Rolled Rice Noodle and Crispy Belly at Kluy Jab PaMai, the PohPia Phuket Fresh Spring Roll and Kien Phuket Sausage at Lok Tian and Oh Aew Ai You Jelly at TianTian Dessert bar and Lapato Tea Leaf Salad at Mingalaba were both very unique experiences! Thank you A Chef’s Tour fo
We had a fantastic day as a family at the food tour! The food was delicious and our guide Cat was very knowledgeable, not only about the food but also about Phuket town and she was very friendly and fun too which made our experience even better! I definitely recommend!
we had lucky as our guide and she was incredible. had great knowledge of the food areas and took us to some incredible places. couldn't recommended enough!
we were fortunate to have Lucky as our guide. she was very knowledgeable about the history of the area, the food she was showing us and it was a very interesting tour. she spoke very good English and she made sure we were understanding everything she was saying and encouraged us to ask questions. The food was very tasty and even if you may find some things not to your taste, over the whole tour there is more than enough food to satisfy your hunger. Don't eat a lot of food beforehand. prior to the tour day they send an email asking about dietary requirements, I don't eat mushrooms and nothing I
We left with a greater understanding of the historic Thai culture and its people and the effect/reliance on tourism.
Lucky was an amazing tour guide! We tried so many different foods and learned so much about the history of food in thailand! If you’re thinking about doing any sort of food tour in phuket definitely book this one!!!
The tour was great!! Nana, the guide was excellent. She explained all the food we were tasting, the origins, the ingredients!! It was so delicious. I got try so many new dishes and loved them all. But come prepared with a very enpty stomach, because everything is so tasty that you need to control yourself to not eat it all and save room for the next dish. I was already full by the time we got to the third restaurant, but still pushed to try everything. My definite favorites were the Kuay Jab and the roti place. The walk around the old town is also a plus. Loved it!
Fabulous morning spent with our guide Nana ? I think was her name There was just us two so it was easy to navigate the old town of Phuket with our guide All the tastings were very different and a wide range of cuisine. Nana was very friendly and knowledgeable 😁 highly recommend this tour
Dishes were well-curated in that they weren't well-known, already go-to dishes people always have when they come to Thailand/Phuket. I loved seeing how some of the dishes were prepped, and I learned some pretty neat fun facts. Our guide Gigi was SO amazing - accommodating, warm, friendly, knew her stuff. Such a delight to spend a few meals with her, rain or shine!
Amazing, Lucky our tour guide had so much knowledge about the food, culture and history, highly recommend this tour.
