7 Street Food & Tuk Tuk Tours in Phuket Worth Booking

1.Full Day City Tour with Night Market

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,888 reviews · 9 hours · from $31Our pick

Spend nine hours seeing southern Phuket with an English or Thai-speaking guide, visiting Karon Viewpoint, Wat Chalong, a cashew factory, Old Town, Rang Hill, and Chillva Market. The Big Buddha road is currently closed, so the tour may offer views of it rather than access.

“It was a nice time. Logistically maybe start earlier to avoid traffic? The timing at places was perfect. I think any time you can get out of the area and explore new places and not be responsible for driving, it’s a plus. I could have eaten an entire can of the cashews. I didn’t. But could have easily consumed my weight in them. Our guide was sweet and sincere. Helped me bargain for a new suitcase. Driver was safe and honest to God, I don’t know how he managed not to hit some drunk crazy tourists in Patong. Five stars to him!!! I’d recommend. It was a great way to…”

2.Southern Flavors Phuket Food Tour with 15+ Tastings

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,933 reviews · from $59Top rated

Explore Phuket Old Town with guides such as Lucky, Cat, Gigi, Tom, and Nam, tasting 15 or more dishes across markets, family-run eateries, and backstreets. Expect Burmese curries, Hokkien noodles, rotis, grilled meats, tropical fruit, and Phuket’s icy O Aew dessert. Groups are limited to eight.

“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.”

6.Phuket City Tour & Scenic Viewpoints / Night Market

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 43 reviews · 5 - 6 hours · from $16Best value

Spend 5 to 6 hours exploring Phuket Old Town, Wat Chalong, Khao Rang Hill, Karon Viewpoint, and the Sunday Walking Street Market with an English-speaking guide. Pickup depends on your booking option, and extra stops at honey or cashew shops may reduce market time.

“Wouldn’t recommend this trip. While you do see some cultural sites and temples, the tour includes mandatory stops at a honey shop and a cashew shop, which aren't mentioned in the itinerary. Although mildly interesting, these stops felt like a waste of time. As a result, there’s less than an hour at the night market, which isn’t enough to properly explore. That time would have been much better spent at the market or the temples (the main reason we booked this tour). If you have no other way to get around Phuket, this tour might be useful, but otherwise you’re better off saving your time and using Grab.”
