The whole experience was great! My tour guide, Om, was very nice and informative, answering any questions about the stops and local areas in detail. Provided drinks, cool towels for... read more the heat, and the lunch were also a plus. I would recommend the private tour for family or anyone traveling alone.

  Above average city tour - We did the afternoon half day city tour which starts around 11:30 (pickup) till sunset time. It was a great experience to see wat chalong temple, big budda and windmill... read more viewpoint. However I would give cashew nut factory a miss. We also were not taken to karon view point (just drive by). Old phuket town is great if you haven’t come across older cities. In Melbourne we have many such architectural buildings and hence it was not breathtaking.
Also I recommend this trip to be done in the morning rather than afternoon. Sun is facing at the back of the big buddha statue in the afternoon and hence you will not get as good pictures.
Overall I would rate this as 3.5 but we had a really good guide hence I gave it 4 stars.

  Fantastic - Fantastic day covered a lot of places in one trip great english speaking guide to great food would recommend trip to others

  The trip was lovely. Well organised and the guide Puma was excellent very informative and friendly. The bus driver was also very nice.

  👏 - They pick me up from the hotel, the guide was nice and help to everyone. The places are awesome and the restaurant and the food excelent.

  Great tour guide, but could be improved - The half day tour itself was really good - Puma was an engaging and energetic guide who not only had a lot of useful information, but made sure that we... read more were all involved in the experience. Exceptional, as was the driver!

Why is this not a 5? Firstly, we did not receive a text confirmation of the pick up time and were unable to confirm by phone - tried on several occasions and got a VM in Thai, although we left a message, there was no reply. We only got this bus because our daughter had been on the week before and could tell us the pick up time.

Secondly, it is just too long. An hour and a half at either end picking up and dropping off people meant 3 hours more than the half day was spent just sitting on a bus. Either arrange transport to a central hub or make this a full day - we started at 11:00 and were not back until 20:45 - almost 10 hours.

  Good value "City tour" - Pickup was on time. The trip was amazing and vehicle was clean. Delicious food with two dishes included. Big buddha was eye-opening experience!! Our group were very lucky to see... read more the sun set before heading home. Pum (amazing guide) and the driver (awesome driver) were very friendly, funny, helpful and kind.

  The tour took too long, longer than what the tour guide said at the start. He told me that I will be dropped off at my hotel by 7:00pm, I... read more was actually dropped off at 9:30pm. I feel the trip to the cashew factory was unnecessary and seemed like a way for your company to earn some commission from the business. The items for sale there were very highly priced and we spent more than an hour there.

  AMAZING TOUR - An amazing experience! Tong had so much knowledge and was a great guide! Definitely recommend to anyone who wants to see and learn about Phuket!

  The walk through old town, the shops the food, just the overall experience. The visit to the Buddha was also a site to behold.
Pum was an excellent guide

  We have travelled a lot, and this would easily be the worst tour we have done - ever. Picked up at 12pm - 30mins late which was okay.
The... read more tour guide, Puma, spoke very poor English (even though the tour stated that the guide spoke good English). Very hard to understand. Struggled to get her messages across and didn't really explain much about the sites we went to (or couldn't). In between sites it would have been great if she talked about Phuket and the area and what we were seeing, but no, she just talked to the driver in Thai. The lunch was supposed to be 2 courses at a food court type place in Phuket town. One chosen by the guide, the other you could choose for yourself. Apparently the one she normally chooses was all sold out for the day, "so just choose your one". No substitute was offered and no apology.
The last stop was Karon viewpoint - after dark, most people didn't get out of the van (get the hint?), after that instead of continuing around the coast to start dropping people off that were staying Karon Beach, we went all the way back to Chalong to drop off Puma, to then turn around and head back again in really bad traffic to start dropping people off. Got to Patong at 8.30pm and still had two more stops before heading to Tri Trang to drop us off. After 8.5 hrs we'd had enough, got out and went to a bar for some drinks. The 300TBT for a taxi home later was money well spent!! Totally overrated and would not recommend.

  TIMING: Pickup was on time, but honestly that's it.

GUIDE: All we really got out of this was someone driving us around: the tour guide didn't know a... read more lot - pointing here and there with smiles and a veeeeery poor English. Plus she wasn't able to keep us together and was 'losing' people here and there. We went way over the allotted time which caused this whole tour to drag on and end up being over 6.5hrs. Defo the worst guide I have ever had (and I had many...). Cherry on the pie: at the end (when they had to bring us back) the tour guide stepped down from the van to meet her husband and the driver went to pick up what it seems his wife before getting all of us back to our hotels!!!!

SITES: The sites themselves weren’t that impressive but I honestly believe this is due to the guide who didn't know much and wasn't able to explain anything worth of interest. Everything can sparkle some joy and curiosity if you have just a bit of knowledge and you are able to explain it in English.....Need to add: we went to a ‘local’ food court that was clearly for tourists and 90% of the food there was Singaporean/Chinese..

TO SUM UP: I feel that yes, money could have been better spent somewhere else: please avoid this tour.

  We saw everything we wanted to and enjoy the day out. Food court was excellent addition to the trip, 2 dishes included in the price but if you wanted more... read more it was reasonably priced too. Tour guide was a bit verbose, sometimes too much detail given, very enthusiastic and personable though.

  Phuket City Tour (half a day) - A shout out to the guide Jennifer (not here real name but easier for Western people to reminder). She really lifted this tour to the next level. Of course there... read more was the info about the places we visited but also more information about the local culture and customs.
She also had many extra things for us. A little gift at the end, baked banana (really tasty), pointing out which plants where used locally, which beaches to go and how. I wished I had booked it at my first day in Phuket not the last.
Also the organization put it quite some effort. First we weren't we enough people but even at 22pm they still informed me that enough were enlisted and asked me if I still wanted to go (had to leave the day after that)

  Nice Tour for the time - This tour is a great way to see the Island in a short time... Best thing was Big Buddha and Old Phuket Town

  Really enjoyed! - This was an interesting day, we really enjoyed it and would recommend to others. Nice views, interesting facts, tasty lunch. Tour leader Puma and the driver were helpful and kind.

  Great airport transfer. Was on time. Very clean and fun car. Good organisation and communication. Would recommend this company.

  Pickup at Phuket airport - Excellent service. The driver was already waiting for us even though the plane was early. Driver was very courageous and helpful.

  Great airport transfer. Was on time. Very clean and fun car. Good organisation and communication. Would recommend this company.

  Like most guided tours this one felt like it was poorly paced. Also the guide was poorly educated on the subject matter and provided little insight on the tour and... read more seemed to be solely there due to him/her being a Thai, English speaker. Bang average experience and the worst guide I have ever experienced. The group was great and the people at the spots we visited made the experience a pleasant one. It could be we caught the guide on an off-day.

  Great experience - So well organised and punctual! Our guide Penny was very friendly and knowledgable. Itinerary was also good, not too hectic and flexible. Keep up the good work and... read more please pass our compliments to Penny.

  Great service - Excellent service. Convenient easy and a smooth transaction. Thoroughly recommended. Vehicle was clean and roadworthy. Driver was professional

  Phuket Best Half Day City Tour - Am was our guide and she was great. Taught us lots about Phuket Old town + the temples etc. We had a lovely lunch in a street food courtyard. Overall... read more excellent value for money and would recommend this trip.

  Couldn't have asked for a better city/temple tour in Phuket. Puma is a great and knowledgeable guide. Would recommend this tour!

  Amazing experience! - Absolutely amazing experience. Pum (Puma) was an amazing guide and went the extra mile. Will do it again. Thanks for the amazing trip

  Great half day tour - This was a fun trip with a small group of 10 ppl. The guide was very informative and helpful. Lots of drinks available throughout the trip. Van was air... read more conditioned, clean and comfortable with a good driver. Would recommend

  Knowledgeable guide. Comfortable vehicle. Cautious driver. Main touristic attractions/experiences are covered with this tour.

  Sue was the kindest and most informative person we met in Thailand. We had such a nice time on our tour and we want to thank Sue for everything.

  Amazing Highlights Tour! - Great tour! We had ample time at each stop and got to see some highlights of Phuket. Our tour guide was funny and knowledgeable and super helpful. We had soft... read more drinks and water in the van which was nice after being in sun at each stop. The lunch selection was phenomenal but I wish it was earlier in the day. Be sure to eat a big breakfast or bring snacks with you. Would highly recommend!

  Just enough of popular sites visit. - It was alrite.... nice visits to listed venues. I like the visit to Big Buddha site. Luckily the weather was kind enough with no rain during... read more the day. Tasted some local food for lunch. Tour operator is organised.
