What our customers say about us
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.
The trip was lovely. Well organised and the guide Puma was excellent very informative and friendly. The bus driver was also very nice.
AmaIng value for money - Absolutely amazing value. Jennifer our host with John the driver, was informative, kind and funny throughout the trip. Such good value for money. Phuket town, big Buddha, wot temple, beach... read more viewpoints and an amazing lunch. Considering the crazy cost of taxis in Phuket. £10 for a 10 minute taxi ride, I can not fault the value of this trip in the slightest. Highlight were definitely the temples. The free time was perfect. Jennifer is an absolute asset. Great trip!
