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 โ the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Phuket. Get ready to explore like a local!

The very best in Phuket!
"Our tour with Vatin in Phuket was truly exceptional and an absolute highlight of our trip. From the moment we met him, VJ was kind, enthusiastic, and incredibly knowledgeable about Phuketโs history, culture, and most beautiful spots. His passion for what he does is clear, and his positive energy made the entire day feel joyful and easy.
What made this experience especially meaningful was how thoughtfully VJ accommodated my recent knee injury. With very limited ability to walk, I was worried about missing out, but VJ went above and beyond by driving us to all of the best viewpoints and locations and carefully planning the day so I could see everything with minimal walking. I never once felt rushed or like an inconvenience. Instead, I felt completely cared for and supported.
VJโs warmth, patience, and genuine kindness truly set him apart. He made sure we were comfortable, engaged, and enjoying every moment while sharing his deep knowledge with such enthusiasm and heart.
If you are visiting Phuket, a tour with VJ is an absolute must. This was not just a tour, but a thoughtful, memorable, and beautifully curated experience we will always remember."
"We had a very lovely and good foodtour with our guide Neena. She knows alot of the history about Phuket and she knows the best places too eat the local food.
Neena is great we loved the foodtour alot with her.
So thank you Neena "
"Neena was incredibly knowledgeable and considerate. I enjoyed walking around the town with her, tasting the amazing food, and discovering a lot of places I would have never found on my own. Highly recommend!"
"We had an amazing tour with Neena. Coupled with lessons about Phuket and Thai history, we enjoyed amazing local and regional food in multiple places which tourists would never find. Thank you for taking us to these places, showing us the culture and introducing us to very tasty food that we otherwise would have never tried and sharing with us your insights. "
"We met Khun Pathu at the designated space and she was bang on time and full of infectious energy and enthusiasm! She took us around the old town, exploring the significance of various old buildings while linking it to the rise of Phuket.
Our tour was punctuated with numerous stops to east the authentic Phuket food. The Som Tam was especially good, but super spicy:) overall a wonderful experience with a very well trained and knowledgeable guide, who ensured that her stories grabbed our attention always! Highly recommended "
"Neena was an exceptional guide. What we thought was going to be a food tour, turned into a rich history and architecture tour as well! We appreciated her tips on Thai customs and WOW she knows great food! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience in Old Town Phuket. We loved it! "
"you are not going to go wrong booking with Ruetai (Pai). it may be a tad pricey, but the trip is well worth it.
after reading reviews of the group tours to James Bond Island, we chose the private trip, hoping to avoid the crowds. while the day started out a little chilly at the top of the Samet Nangshe Viewpoint waiting for the sunrise, it wasn't that bad, just a little breezy, but a nice departure from the hot muggy days in Phuket. The sunrise was gorgeous, and Pai provided hot tea and coffee to help warm up, while you had a light breakfast. The private longtail boat ride was enjoyable, and you arrive at James Bond Island before the crowds arrive, and it becomes crowded. the stop at crane cave was very cool, the kayak stop at Ko Hong was fun, and some time at a private beach for snacks and a swim was refreshing.
Pai is informative, does her best to make your day enjoyable without being intrusive, and her choice for lunch was a nice way to end the trip.
you won't go wrong booking with Ruetai."
"I booked the ten tastes of Phuket tour for my girlfriend, mother and father who were visiting from the UK. My girlfriend and I have lived in Phuket for several years and love exploring and food!
We were a tricky group to manage as to of us are vegetarian, one a pescatarian and the sole carnivore absolutely cannot handle spice. Not an ideal but my goodness did Neena exceed expectations.
We met her at a local shrine and right from the first minute it was clear that we were in for a treat. She greeted us all by name and knew of our preferences and visiting history as she had clearly read my updates. That was a lovely touch.
Neena then proceeded to spend the next 3.5 hours walking us around Old Town, inviting us to share its culinary delights whilst also sharing her wealth of knowledge. We explored entirely new restaurants and were left with a restored love of Phuket Town's vibrant food scene.
Neena is an exceptional host. She blends together humour and intrigue; conversation and understanding all whilst accommodating our requests. We could not recommend her enough! I think my girlfriend and her are planning a trip to Chiang Mai ๐
If you're considering booking with her, do it. You'll love it! Enjoy! ๐๐ป๐๐ป"
"Pathu was amazing! Communicative! Flexible! So informative and excited to share her wealth of knowledge!
I absolutely loved the time we had with her and exploring old town in detail!"
