Reviewers frequently single out the storytelling as particularly memorable, noting that guides share personal and generational histories that add real depth to the experience.

Reviews from Google
A Hidden Gem in Phuket! I recently visited Phuket Old Farm, and it was hands-down one of the highlights of my trip. If you want to see the authentic side of the island away from the tourist crowds, this is the place to go. The soul of this experience is definitely our guide, Victor. He is incredibly charismatic, energetic, and has a natural gift for storytelling. You can tell he is truly passionate about what he does, which makes every minute of the tour engaging. What resonated with me the most was the part of his story about family ties and the local community. Victor explained so beautifully how the farms are interconnected and how the strong sense of community keeps their traditions alive. It wasn’t just a history lesson; it felt like being welcomed into a big family. It’s rare to find a guide who can balance humor, deep knowledge, and genuine warmth so well. Highly recommended!
It was really interesting to see what the life for the local people was like in the past. You get alot explained and can even try it yourself (like planting rice). They also have a restaurant where you can eat or drink something (get 10% discount with a ticket). And you get a free drink at the souvenier shop when you show your ticket. Overall a very nice experience and I would recommend it to eceryone who wants to know abit about how the local people were living in the past.
Great experience! My child enjoyed and he learned many things. The restaurant also have a very tasty and fresh food. I do recommend to everyone.
