This was an amazing tour and the tour guide was super friendly. All the places are a must see. The bus was comfortable and air conditioned. Definitely recommend!

A great way to see some of the amazing sites in Phuket

Bruce_G, May 2024

This was a great tour made all the better with the information that our amazing guide, Daisy gave us along the way. We enjoyed all aspects of the tour and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Great half day experience

Kirstie_C, Apr 2024

Great half day experience. Would recommend that you spend a bit more time in Phuket Town. You can easily organise a taxi when you are ready.

Awe inspiring Big Buddha

Sharon_L, Mar 2024

Our guide Daisy who was just lovely. The Big Buddha was my favourite part. Very serene at the top even with many people. You could meditate or have a blessing too (or both).

Good overall impression of Phuket

Rita_R, Nov 2023

Meandering through the amazing traffic, route up to big buddha… Interesting insight to how labour intensive Cashew nut peeling is‼️by visiting the cashew factory Excellent service to bring us back to the cruise ship peer on time.

Ok tour

Faith_O, Apr 2023

It was ok. I didn’t learn any history. The bus had a horrible smell from the start to end of the tour.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Good afternoon, I am sorry to know that you have an issue with our tours, WE usually use only MIni Van not BUS, however thanks for your kind review to us.

Excellent

Melanie_W, Mar 2023

This trip was great…lots to see in a half day tour and enough time at each attraction. Daisy the tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly .

Engaging guide

Francois_T, Sep 2022

I was lucky. I booked to join a group tour but got a private toor because of cancellations. Daisy, the guide, was happy to answer all my questions and discuss different topics. This was very informative. I had a lovely afternoon and it was well worth the money spent.

Perfection

Joshua_H, Nov 2021

My girlfriend and I went on this tour the second day of our trip and it was perfect! The guide was really friendly and helpful. He helped us map out a perfect vacation with tips about Thailand and where to go. 10/10 recommended!

You get what you pay for.

Lorrie_G, Feb 2020

Would I recommend? Well we did it, it was long and the a/c hardly did a thing on this super hot day, the sights were ok for what you pay, 2 view stops for pictures, then Big Buddha with coconut Ice Cream, then 5 Temple stop, lots to see there. Could’ve skipped the whole cashew please buy (no thx) stop and the Old Phuket stop, nothing was happening that time of day and there were no stores with a/c just stands, all the same. Made for a long day. The tour guide lady only seemed to talk to the couple in the front seats, the rest of us had no clue what was going on.

Response from Host, Feb 2020

Dear valued customer thanks for your reply on trip advisor. We have already repaired our van and have made all the changes. We are sorry for the inconvenience, but our team have already resolved the air condition. Hope you enjoyed the tour and thanks for opting our service.

Phuket City Tour - i 100% recommend it.

Sonia_M, Jan 2020

This was a great way to see phuket without paying a large amount of money for taxi fares. Our guide Kim was fantastic! He gave us a lot of extra information which made us learn more about Phuket. The air conditioned car was a great plus. Overall such a great experience, i can not recommend it enough.

Response from Host, Jan 2020

Thanks you for your feedback we value your response and hope that you had a great experience throughout your tour.

Beautiful stops...

rushdamallick2019, Dec 2019

Beautiful stops to take amazing pics... The tour guide (Kim) was really good and funny... we did this trip because it picked us up at a good time and dropped us off at a location we preferred. Money well spent.

Response from Host, Jan 2020

Dear traveler thanks for your feedback. We are happy to take you on board for this tour and hope that you had a great leisure time during the tour.

Great scenery poor knowledgeable guide

joefonseca2005, Nov 2019

Guide didn’t describe, narrate about our surroundings or interesting fact of our tour highlights , very dry and bland

Good half a day tour or Phuket, nice experience

Raghava C, Nov 2019

Pick up from the hotel was on time and the AC Van carried around 12 people. We along with two other similar vans toured all the places including old Phuket town (that was not mentioned in the itinerary) but the tour operator skipped the Rawai Beach. It was a great half day tour of all important places in Phuket. Would recommend to anyone.

Phuket half day tour

amethyst63, Aug 2019

Our tour guide SOM was really amazing. She picked us up from our hotel. Very informative and extremely helpful. There were a few places we did not know that we were going to for example the honey factory & the cashew factory and also we did not have a booking for Tiger Kingdom. When we went to the honey & cashew factory we wanted to buy stuff but we did not have enough money. No questions asked she lent us the money and we were extremely grateful to her for doing that and she also helped us with a booking to go to the Tiger Kingdom. On the return back to our hotel we gave the money back to her. SOM did not know who we were we were just tourists on one of her tours but for her to do that for us was so amazing which we will not forget in a hurry. Me & my hubby thoroughly enjoyed the tour. THANKS SOM. So for anyone doing this tour please specially ask for SOM

Half day in Phuket

PaoloMVE78, Aug 2019

We had fun and visited a lot of beautiful places. Cheap compared to a taxi fare just to one of the attractions. The guide was helpful,knowledgeable and nice.

Daisy est un guide très...

Rien ne sest passé comme prevu
