3 Food Tours Worth Flying For

1.Phuket City Tour & Elephant Sanctuary – Town, Temple, Food & View

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 85 reviews · from $81Our pick

Spend about six hours seeing Phuket beyond the beaches. Your guide takes you from A-Pong pancakes and Old Town to Hokkien noodles, Bukit Elephant Park, Wat Chalong, and Big Buddha viewpoints. Guides such as Noom, Pat, Su, May, and Pet have led this small-group tour.

“It was absolutely incredible. This tour is a great introduction to Phuket. Fair warning for those who are wanting this trip for Big Buddha: it is closed right now due to land slides, they do not know when it will be safe for the public yet. However, we still got close enough to have a nice view of it. I still felt satisfied even though we were not able to see as close as anticipated. The temples, Old Phuket Town, and visiting elephants were a wonderful experience. I would absolutely recommend this tour.”
