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.

  Best way to see Phuket Highlights - We had a wonderful 1/2 day seeing highlights of Phuket. We started in old town with our fabulous guide giving us history and culture of the old town area, and... read more we had fabulous food at one of the local restaurants. Then our tour included a visit to the cashew factory, Buddhist temple, Big Buddha, and finished watching the sunset at a great spot to see it. We appreciated the small group tour with only 10 people. And our guide did a wonderful job at making sure we were comfortable with a variety of refreshments. He was also very volunteering to take pictures for you, great pictures I might add! This is a great tour for seeing Phuket highlights!!

  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.
