"Thank you Pathu for an amazing tour! We highly recommend this tour, we saw so many new and intriguing places that we wouldn’t have been able to see without the knowledge of an expert guide. It was the exact right mix of historical and modern that we wanted. Thanks again! "
"Loved the Old Town tour with Pathu who gave us rich insights into the Chinese merchant community of Phuket and how they shaped the architecture of the island. I loved exploring the quaint Sino-Portuguese houses and their eclectic architectural styles. The highlight was a visit to the Woo Gallery Museum and exploring its many interesting artifacts. "
"We were a group of girls celebrating a bride to be and we were lucky to experience Pai’s enthusiastic foodie tour through Old Phuket town. Every dish was delicious and we left with bellies full of yummy food and laughters to last a lifetime. Thank you Pai for the wonderful memories!!"

Perfect Daytrip with Tai
"We had a perfect organized Daytrip with Tao around the island, a mistier of culture & shopping & beaches - as well as a very nice lunch location
It was a private and individual tour that Tai will also do for the bigger companies and cruises"

Such a highlight of our holiday
"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 "
"We had an amazing experience with Ruetai as our tour guide in Phuket. She was outstanding, attentive to every detail, and ensured everything went smoothly throughout our trip. Her warmth, professionalism, and local knowledge made our visit truly special. We highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a memorable and well-organized experience in Phuket!"
"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 an extraordinary guide, besides the history of old Phuket in their different incarnations, she has lots of good advices fot food, spa, sightseeing, stay and shopping. A must do while in Phuket. "

When you hit the road and land in a new city like Phuket, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.
Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Phuket spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Phuket.
The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.
But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Phuket, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Phuket awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.
So, next time you're in Phuket, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Phuket. Get ready to explore like a local!
