“Solo traveler joining the Phuket Food Tour. Gigi was our guide. She has roots in the community and she had a connection to every establishment on our tour. There was plenty of food to taste- more than I could manage. Come hungry but it’ll be fine if you don’t scarf down every bite. The tour ended in Old Town right as the market was setting up and in a convenient location to take a stroll in and out if you like. I can’t speak highly enough of Gigi. She was a great guide.”

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…”
