“This was a great experience. Lucky was funny and nice. Lucky also taught us a lot about the culture while we stopped at many different shops to eat. We went in back alleys to places I normally wouldn’t venture to as a tourist. Not because I don’t want to, but because it probably wouldn’t come up when I google “best places to eat in Phuket” lol. I really enjoyed myself. I ate sooo much food. And everything was delicious.”

“We had an incredible experience on this food tour and cannot recommend it enough. Our guide Ant was outstanding - knowledgeable, warm, and genuinely passionate about Thai food and culture. She explained everything so clearly, took us to amazing spots we never would have found on our own, and made the whole evening feel effortless and fun. The helpers were wonderful as well, making sure everything ran smoothly and that we were always comfortable. The pacing, variety of food, and organization were excellent. What truly made this experience extra special was that I mentioned we were celebrating my husband’s birthday, and the team went above and beyond to make it…”

“The tour was fine but not great. Although the guide was very nice and friendly, the tour itself felt rushed, impersonal, and the Tuk-tuk rides were quick and unmemorable. The stops were okay. There is no hotel pickup and traffic in Bankok is pretty bad. Make sure you leave plenty of time to get to the meeting place.”

I liked the little booklet of information we were given and now I try to look for these foods when I’m out with my friends at dinner and I even have them try the new foods as well. It’s worth the money and you will be very full by the end of the tour. Thank you Mr. Goal!”
