Complete tour of Phuket - This is a great tour that conveniently takes you to all the important places in Phuket. The guide spoke really good English and shared valuable information with us that we wouldn't have discovered otherwise. Be aware that you will have some free time so maybe when you're first told the itinerary of the day, you will think about where you would prefer to spend more time. The car was nice and comfortable and had AC. As I was flying later that day, they accommodated my need to take my luggage with me and were fine with dropping me at the central mall at the end instead of at my hotel. Water was also provided which was nice since it was a really hot day.

Would definitely recommend! - The tour was extremely enjoyable, and the staff made sure to give us a full tour of Phuket so as to not miss out on any major places! Our tour guide, Ohm, made us feel really welcomed, took us to multiple historic locations and restaurants, and was eager to answer any questions we might have had. 10/10

An exceptional experience - Our Phuket Discovery Tour was a unique experience (especially after the lockdown) which we will never forget. Khun Nicky, our tour guide, from Travstore made us feel really special and showed us the history of Phuket in every possible detail. Khun Nicky, also a great photographer, captured every moment of our trip and turned it into a beautiful storytelling video. I recommend this travel agency to anyone who wants to have an exceptional experience complimented with hospitality. And we are definitely trying out other tours too! Thank you, Travstore team (Khun Kris and Khun Nicky)

Not private but still great - Wilson was amazing! Took great care of us and was very funny and informative. Not actually a private tour as we were with other couples, otherwise this would be 5 stars. Itinerary was different but enjoyed nonetheless.

Wonderful Half Day Tour to Explore Phuket - The tour is goof for those who don’t know what to do or where to go when arrive in Phuket on the first day. Poo was our tour guide and he did a good job leading the tour. He explained which location is covered for the day tour and help us take picture.

The highlight was the visit to the Tiger Kingdom. - We had a great trip particularly as our bus only had 2 of us on board. As a consequence we had our own private guide for the tour. The highlight for me was the visit to the Tiger Kingdom. We paid for a photographer at the attraction at what turned out to be great value. Being in the same compound as three 10 month old tigers was a great experience and the handlers were excellent throughout. Needless to say you do as your told and keep away from the sharp end.

AVOID ALL PHUKET DAY TOURS - We were outside our hotel at 12:15 as instructed for a 12:30 pickup. After 90 minutes in the heat, nobody showed up to get us so went back to our room assuming we were stranded. They refused to give us a refund saying they came for us at 2pm but we weren’t there. REALLY? Who’s stupid enough to sweat that long when the burden is on YOU to contact us or the hotel desk if you’re running late. This should have been a blessing in disguise as we booked with a different tour group for the next day only to find out that EVERY tour group operates the same circuit. It was the most dreadful day of our entire holiday. Whatever you do, stay away from the day tours in Phuket as they only encourage animal cruelty parks and force you through jewelry shops like cattle. Instead, take a taxi to old Phuket town for a taste of Thai culture because the tours are just abysmal tourist traps.
