Misleading unfortunately

The guide was great and being introduced to regional desserts in Phuket old town was great. However the lunch was a real disappointment and not as advertised. It was at Hanuman world and was a tourist trap buffet definitely not at a "local Thai residents house" as described. For the price of the tour I feel this was a real let down and misleading. All the rest was good and the private guide around the temple and town was a great insite. Also advertised as a 6 hour tour on viator but when picked up advised it was a 5 hour tour.

Amazing culture tour

We had an amazing experience! The guide and driver where wonderful and took us to beautiful place where we could actually get the feel of the Thai culture through the temples, markets and food. The short cooking class was a wonderful experience and the lunch of traditional thai dishes was very tasty. The guide accomodated for all of our needs and also very important these days the team kept everything clean an safe. Thank you very much for a wonderful time!
