Most efficient way to see Phuket! - Rita was our driver for the day and was excellent! She arrived on time and with a big smile on her face. I provided her with a list of the places we wanted to go like Karon Point lookout, Big Buddha, Wat Chalong temple and finished with dinner in Old Town Phuket with some shopping. As it was a Friday, which tends to have heavier traffic and the sites can be crowded with more people we always knew where to find her or where she’d be picking us up from. She was also very accommodating when, at the last minute, we decided to add 1 additional hour to the 6 hours we originally booked. My sister and I tend to meander and like to take our time at the sites so this option was a wonderful relief. Knowing that that these drivers are not “tour guides” Rita was very knowledgeable when we asked her questions.
*Car was a very large, clean SUV, leather interior, ceramic window tint to block out UV rays, she provided cold water bottles, and was a very safe driver. We highly recommend this tour if you want to see all of Phuket’s major sites in one day!

Good trip for sightseeing - Was a very good trip. The driver was very friendly and he showed all the important sights in 8 hours. The van was very nice. Mr Joe was very friendly and I will give him 5 stars.

Private Phuket driver and car hire - We hired a private rental with driver for 8hrs to tour Phuket. Our driver was Dol. He arrived at our hotel promptly and was very easy to talk to. Dol asked us where we would like to go so we listed some places. We got to visit every place and Dol took us to some amazing view points for pictures with spectacular views.
Dol was extremely kind and a credit to Phuket Tours. We will be booking again when we return next year and requesting Dol as our driver. Thank you Dol for making Phuket so memorable for us!

A great day out in Phuket with Azi - We stayed at a resort in Mai Khao which is 40KM from Phuket (Patong Area). Our driver Azi arrived on time in a nice and clean van which was spacious enough for the 6 of us. We had planned to visit the Big Buddha, Phrom Thep cape and Chaitararam temple with a stopover at Phuket old town. Azi planned the trip perfectly and also took us for lunch at the Mountain Breeze restaurant. We cut short our outing at the old town since it was post lunch and very hot, instied Azi suggested that we visit the wholesale outlet where we could shop before we were dropped off at our Resort

Five Stars! - Dol was an amazing guide. We got to go to all the spots we wanted, and then some of his favorites, which we really loved. He had a good efficient route, and we had some extra time at the end to go to a restaurant with his favorite mango sticky rice. Would definitely recommend!

Good value but guide not included - A good value experience. Please be aware this experience does not come with an official guide. I booked after reading previous reviews which seemed to infer a guide is provided. It does clearly state in the other information that this is not the case and I only realised afterwards. Our driver was Nutt and he was professional and courteous. He did help us build our own itinerary on the day. We had a 6 hour trip and traffic was heavy so if you wish to cram lots in I would say go for the 8 hour trip. All things considered this was still value for money as we are not phased about being left to our own devices but if you want a guided tour you may need to look elsewhere.

Great Phuket City Tour, excellent driver named Tan - All the itineraries but most especially the Phuket Town where we bought a lot of fresh fruits then we ate at the next vendor who was cooking foods for lunch. They werent supposed to open till 3 but our driver Tan talked to the people to let us eat!! It was delicious. Tan, our driver was patient and very informative..

Peter was ‘always there’ - Peter was perfect. Always deposited us in the right location and watching out for us when we exited an attraction. “Peter On The Spot” is a great name. Thanks, Peter.

10 out of 10 - would do this again with Dol - Dol was our driver and he was out of this world, AMAZING! he brought us everywhere we requested and even pointed out some attractions we may be interested in and made restaurant recommendations. We needed to exchange currency and he thought I didn't have any and tried to give me some of his until we made it to an exchange booth. Then when our 8 hour tour was over and he overheard us talking about some other things we would have liked to see, he gave his next booking to another driver so he could finish showing us every thing. Dol was so kind and one of the many highlights of our trip.
