Pathu war pünktlich am vereinbarten Ort und wir hatten einen Trip über die Insel Phuket mit vielen Stops und Informationen. Gutes Englisch und viele Infos während des Trips - dieser fand in einen Pickup mit Fahrer statt - aufgrund der Temperaturen. Toll - gern wueder

Coming off a cruise with young kids we weren't satisfied with the shore excursions on offer so we booked a private guide in the hope of a customised tour. Pathu was fantastic in her flexibility, from meeting us even with a last minute change in the cruise port of anchor, through to tailoring activities that suited us. She'd modify the itinerary based on our preferences and maximised the time and value we got out of each attraction. I wouldn't hesitate to book her services again, I only wish we could clone her so she could be our guide on every future destination we went to :) Customised awesome experience

Pathu is a gem. So knowledgeable and such an awesome tour guide as she shares her love and knowledge of Phuket. We all enjoyed our time being shown the sights of Phuket and the ease of being driven around. Highly recommendAwesome tour with Pathu

I think Pathu was flustered at the start as she had sent a message suggesting an alternative meeting point which we had not received due to no wifi while travelling to Phuket Town. The tour was good and informative but lacked an introduction and felt rushed and shorter than expected.Interesting food tour

Pathu was wonderful, communication was very good, especially as we were nearly half an hour late due to traffic. Pathu took us to places which we wouldn't have found without without her. I was travelling with my 10 year old daughter who thoroughly enjoyed the tour, thank you! Catherine, Jenny and Candice10

Recommendation for Our Tour Guide, Pathu We had the absolute pleasure of experiencing an extraordinary tour in Old Phuket Town, thanks to our amazing guide, Patu. She provided us with a truly unique and unforgettable journey, filled with incredible sights, delicious local foods, and fascinating insights into the history and culture of Phuket. Without Pathu’s expert guidance, we would never have discovered the hidden gems and special experiences that made our day so exceptional. By sheer luck, our tour coincided with the birthday ceremony of the main deity at a Chinese temple—an incredibly moving and powerful event that Patu introduced us to with deep knowledge and enthusiasm. Patu is a dedicated and knowledgeable guide, full of charm, genuine passion, and thoughtful consideration for our needs as an older couple. Her enthusiasm and kindness made this tour one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. Thank you so much, Pathu! Highly recommended!Great tour with Pathu

Pathu led me on a great tour of Old Town, covering the highlights I was expecting as well as several other places. All the tidbits about Phuket's history, architecture, and culture were great too. And I learned how to increase my luck at a temple! A morning in Old Town Phuket

Pathu was absolutely amazing, we were originally booked for our food walking tour on the Sunday but our driver let us down at the last moment, Pathu immediately rebooked our tour so we wouldn't miss out and we were so glad she did. We met at the Golden Dragon and began our tour. The food she chose for us was amazing, things we had never tasted that titillated our taste buds, in fact so much food we felt we would burst. Pathu's knowledge of the area and history of the buildings was informative and interesting. We would definitely recommend this beautiful lady to anyone Such a highlight of our holiday

We had a fabulous afternoon with Pathu. She was so knowledgeable, and we learned so many interesting facts about Phuket past and present. We had our tour at the same time as the usual sunday market, which was busy, but highly recommended as Pathu could tell us about the food and market history. Pathu was fabulous and I highly recommend her and this tour.Exvellent tour and guide

Η Pathu έκανε ότι μπορούσε για να δούμε όσα πράγματα ζητήσαμε . Της αλλάξαμε το πρόγραμμα στο κανονικό tour και ζητήσαμε ελέφαντες , μαϊμούδες & local streets αλλά σίγουρα θα θέλαμε παραπάνω ναούς όπως είχαμε ζητήσει. Τα view points μια χαρά αλλά υπάρχουν πολύ περισσότερα σημεία ενδιαφέροντος να δεις στο νησί ιδιαίτερα με μια τόσο ακριβή ιδιωτική εκδρομή . Το καλύτερο κομμάτι της εκδρομής ήταν η ίδια η Pathu που είχε εξαιρετικές γνώσεις και ευγένεια ! Σε γενικές γραμμές μια εξαιρετική αρχή των διακοπών μας :) ευχαριστούμε Pathu :) Πολυ ωραια εκδρομη !

Pathu gave our group a great food tour in Phuket Town! We had a ton of great food we wouldn’t have known to try, and don’t see by the resorts. Between stops Pathu also provided some local history of Phuket Town (Portuguese relations, Blue Elephant, shrines) which I really appreciated. Would highly recommend— just be sure to come hungry as it’s a lot of food!Great food tour in Phuket!

My husband and I booked a food tour in old town phuket with Pathu and it was one of the best parts of our trip so far! The food was so delicious, varied, and worthwhile to test out. The places she brought us were clean and the service prompt. Pathu was a wonderful guide. She was fun and full of information that gave us a deeper understanding of Thai culture and the influences of surrounding countries. I highly recommend it! Delicious food and great company!

Pathu was awesome and showed us around Phuket Old Town. She knew the ins and outs and hidden gems! Everyone knew her as we were walking around so we were treated very well by the locals. She’s funny and full of energy. Highly recommend.Pathu is the best!

From the start it was clear that Pathu had a great passion for the history of Phuket and it’s people - we enjoyed learning both the familial and political history of old town and how Pathu explained it to us. Also enjoyed the banter she had with many local peoples we met along the way … Thanks !Great walk through old town

We had a fun and delicious experience on our food tour with Pathu. She was able to accommodate our dietary restrictions and exposed us to so many incredible local dishes - savory, sweet and even local beverages. We tried so many things we never would have known to order. I highly recommend and you should definitely go to the tour hungry and ready to eat!!So much delicious food!!

From her passion to the deep knowledge of Thai culture Pathu is just the right person to do a tour with. We did 5 food tasting + a beautiful walk on the old Town, she really gave us a whole sense of what was going on in the city the historical background and tips on thai culture. What we eat was an absolut delight, surprisingly we have never even heard of them after having visited twice thailand. Doing a tour with Pathu is a must

Please be aware that if you are arriving by cruise ship at Patong Beach, the meeting point is on the other side of the island, and you will have to negotiate a taxi ride with non-English speaking drivers who have never heard of the Golden Dragon Monument. Once we arrived, Pathu gave us an excellent tour. She took us to a cafe/bakery with local artisan crafts and ceramics. She was very helpful negotiating with the souvenir vendors. We especially enjoyed the personalized tour of the Moh Seng Historic House Museum.Good tour once we got there

Wife and I were in Phuket for part of our honeymoon and wanted to learn about the city and Pathy delivered! We did an evening tour where she took us around town in a Tuk Tuk then walked around old town She was full of information and did a great job teaching us about the culture and history of Phuket We got exactly what we wanted: to learn abt the city and see some places where locals hang out as well as key spots She did it all. Full of energy and fun as well A great experience!Pathu was great!!

Great experience! Phatu explains a lot about the details in the temples and about Buddhism. She accommodated all our wishes. We can more than recommend booking a tour with her. She is also a great photographer and took a lot of pictures for us.Great experience

Pathu was an awesome guide! We started later in the day (museums close at 4pm) and it was during the Vegetarian festival so she had to be flexible for us. It was just what we were looking for - an education in history, architecture, culture, food and religious symbolism and practices! Given the festival activities, Pathu stayed late with us. We finished our tour having tried things we would have never tried, understanding our surroundings better and with a much deeper understanding of Phuket’s history and culture ❤️ Thank you for a wonderful evening Pathu!! We hope to see you again on a return visit.Well rounded cultural experience

We enjoyed our tour and learned a lot, especially about the Phuket Baba Nyonya people who built the shophouses and businesses of Old Phuket. I want to suggest that three hours is a long time on your feet in hot weather and I would consider a shorter tour next time. A stop for iced tea was necessary and appreciated! Thorough introduction to Old Town Phuket

Karen 🇺🇸 United States

Pathu was an excellent tour guide. We really enjoyed our tour of the island and getting to know Phuket from a cultural and culinary perspective. It was a rainy on the day of our tour but Pathu was able to come up with alternatives for our tour. Overall, we would book with Pathu again the next time we’re in Phuket.Great tour!

Chantelle🇦🇺 Australia

Pathu took us on the most amazing adventure when we’d originally booked for the walking tour of old town when the markets were not on. Not to be deterred, Pathu quickly suggested an alternative with both the local knowledge sharing of Old Town and then onto her favourite local food stalls and finishing up in the secret bar you’d never know was there. Definitely recommend Pathu as a guide! Amazing time with the best guide!

Psthu was a wonderful guide, so warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. She gave us so many fascinating insights into the history of Phuket. She was also exteemely thoughtful and considerate. It was a very hot and sunny day and she made sure we were in shade and well hydrated. She also took us to have an extremely refreshing and delicious local shaved ice dish. Arranging the meeting point and communication with Pathu was extremely clear and straightforward, and she was able to customize the tour to our preferences. I would highly recommend Pathu's services to anyone. Wonderful tour of old Phuket

Pathu is an excellent guide. We are English speaking and Pathu’s command of our language is admirable. She informed us of many things we did not know about Phuket and we left with bellies full of delicious foods we would never have tried and minds full of knowledge we would never have gained. Do it. You will not regret it. Informative and oh so tasty!

Joe🇺🇸 United States

We had a great experience with Pathu enjoying not only an excellent variety of food but local history as well. Pathu met us right on time and shared local history and an extra temple tour before leading us onward. The variety of dishes were delicious and were able to accommodate guests who enjoyed spicy and those who didn’t. We had a chance to try a number of local sweets before then finding another series of noodle dishes at our next stop. Needless to say we were quite full by the end and had a chance to try true local cuisine. The four of us have enjoyed Thai food in many places as well as a variety of street food tours and this was one that we would recommend without reservations. A wonderful food tour with Pathu!

Me and my partner enjoyed very much the time with Pathu ! She is nice, charismatic and knowledgeable. She has a good command of English. She told us and showed us a lot of interesting things about Phuket town. - The cultural/religion part of our walk was touching and energetically charged; - The food we tasted was delicious (we would never find this place without Pathu, because it’s a local one); - the bars she showed us had the best cocktails and very unique environment. We were enjoying every moment we were experiencing in Phuket town with Pathu as she is a great guide and a person. Highly recommended! You will not regret

Pathu is a great guide who showed us 4 older adults with hip and feet issues out and about in Phuket town. We started at the Jui Sui shrine and had a great introduction to the temple and the cultural history and traditions. We walked to different restaurants and found it easy to get about on foot.Pathu chose a great selection of meals for us to share. She had made arrangements for 1 adult who is vegetarian to be included . The meals are delicious and there’s more than Pad Thai and spring rolls available. Highly recommended Pathu for her friendliness and knowledge. Food and walking at night

Pathu was incredibly kind and patient to my elderly mom and I, and we had a fabulous time touring the main sights of Phuket, and learning so much about the historical and cultural significance of temples and old Phuket town. She was flexible throughout, adapting the itinerary depending on our interests and the tour was very well-paced. Fabulous time

Pathu is an amazing host. She really listened to our wishes and made us a customized offer with focus on history, architecture and food. Because Pathu knows Phuket city like no other she could take us to special locations, to one of a kind events (Buddhist festival) and to very tasty local food. I would def recommend booking a tour with her because you will experience Phuket city in a more diverse and authentic way. Amazing host!

Pathu was absolutely amazing. I had two children with me ages 7 and 9 and even though they are not young they do not like to walk around in the heat. Pathu was very accommodating to their needs. The museums we went to had games for children while learning about the Baba culture. We went to an ice cream shop and we had snacks and tea inside a cute little store. She told me different things I can do during the week and where to get my local goods from. She left us in good hands at a terrific Thai restaurant. We had a beautiful afternoon with Pathu and you should too.Excellent Tour and Guide!!!

Pathu took us on a wonderful tour around Phuket Old Town, highlighting the symbolism in the temple shrines and local architecture. We made many stops at local restaurants that we would have never found on our own, including the best Pad Kra Pow in Phuket. It was a joy to watch her socialize and charm the local cooks and waiters always getting us the best view of the dishes being made. At the end of the tour we were bursting at the seams from all the local delicacies. The 10 Tastings of Phuket Town: Street Food

Pathu was kind, welcoming and full of knowledge. She took us to some hidden gems of thw old town and kept us well informed to the history of the area and much more. I highly recommend any of the trips that she does!!! We will definitely book her again next tins we are here. Wonderful day exploring food and culture

Kirsty 🇬🇧 United Kingdom

21 January 2024

Pathu was absolutely lovely and very knowledgeable but the value for money was poor compared to other food tours we have been on at 60gbp per head and tour itself was a bit unorganised - the food seemed to be offered ad hoc, once we had bought a few items from stalls we wondered round a loud park to find somewhere to sit. We loved the roti restaurant and the bar we went to at the end but I don’t think that was part of the original plan. She did plan for us to go to a restaurant at the end in the Michelin guide (for pigs intestine and pigs liver soup) which I believed was to be the highlight but we did not feel in the mood for this, especially after wondering for 2 hours or so already eating lots of sweet things from the stalls Again Pathu is very knowledgeable but the tour did not seem well planned and not worth £180.

I had an amazing three hours with Pathu. We met in the museum and she explained the exhibition to me. Then we visited a typical Phuket house, several temples and streets in Old Town Phuket. Pathu is very knowledgeable about history and architecture and made great links to what we had seen in the museum. Most of all, she explained the diverse and fascinating cultural heritage of the Thai people in Phuket. I highly recommend this tour.Learn about Phuket's history
