Phuket Old Town Walking Food Tour

VERY DISAPPOINTED! The guide assigned to us was Pai fm Ruetai Secret Food Tour. We booked for 9 people for Phuket Old Town Food Tour with Michelin Tastings & 10 dishes. The group consisted of us 9 people including 4 others. As this was a big group, the guide Pai only concentrated on the 4 people who were walking ahead with her. She did not bother to stop and explain the places of interest to us. She just went ahead with the other group and we had to play catch up with her! We felt shortchanged as the food provided was not worth for the price we paid and it was definitely not Michelin star. The guide, Pai was always more bothered with the other 4 Caucasians giving them preference to sit inside of the shops with fans and telling us that we were a big group and had to sit outside even though we had a baby with us! Instead I told her that we would just wait for our seats inside the shops as we needed the fan. Along the way, she bought the sticky rice dumplings (Bak chang) & had us stop over at a Buddhist temple standing up around their eating area to share it while they were chanting prayer! At one of the stall, we even noticed that she packed a take away bag of some bits & pieces of the balance food for herself. Overall, we had a very bad experience as the tour was not what we paid for. The tour guide Pai was not friendly, not informative, not patient and had hardly did her job as a tour guide to represent Viator. She went thru the whole experience without explaining the food culture & places of interest as we walked by. I have always used Viator in many countries but this was the worst experience and I felt bad for my family who had all paid a lot for this tour to receive such a bad experience. Would not recommend this tour at all cos you would never know which guide you would end up with which would make your experience either a good or bad one.

Very informative and good tasting tour. Mindi is liekable and friendly. She knows alot of good places and the food was perfect

This was my first time taking a Secret Food Tour and it was outstanding. Our guide Mindy was flexible, fun, and totally adaptable. When a place was closed, she had another ready. We visited so many interesting places and ate great food in just the right portions. It was a great way to see Old Town Phuket and would recommend it especially during this lovely cool season.

What an amazing experience. So many delicious foods to try. Great tour around places you'd never find on your own. We tried to return to two, both were sold out by afternoon, they were that good. We did manage to get into the restaurantwhere we had the fantastic moo kong (pork stew? Warangkana our guide was fantastic. I'd highly recommend this tour.

Amazing day in Phuket on our secret food tour with Pai. The food was all sensational, best spring rolls ever. 8 different locations and the whole time, Pai explained the local culture and pointed out places of interest. We learned so much about this wonderful place. Thank you Pai we have been on many secret food tours and today was one of the best ever.
