Excellent tour of Phuket. - Excellent experience in Phuket. Easy to coordinate pick up from both pier and take a tour of Phuket. We enjoyed the Wat Chalong and the scenic viewpoints including Sunset point and big Buddha,. Guide was professional and enthusiastic. The driver was extremely helpful and we enjoyed covering all the destinations, including old town Phuket and the gem factory. We chose to spend less time at old town and use the rest of the time to see the gem factory.

Fantastic private tour of Phuket - We were picked up from our hotel lobby and greeted by the most wonderful lady called Adar (apologies if spelt name wrong). We were taken to our air conditioned transport and started are journey. On the way to our first stop which was about 40 minutes away Adar told us the itinerary for the day, there was a slight change as the big Buddha was closed due to a landslide we we were informed about before the trip commenced. Along the way our guide pointed out lots of interesting sights and answered any of our questions. The first stop was Wat Chalong temple, at the temple Adar took us through the whole religious system that Thai people do when at the temple. We made many wishes and had lots of photos which Adar took for us. After there we went back to our transport and was greeted with ice cold water and a wet towel to freshen up with. Then our next stop was Karong view point where we had lots more photos taken even with a bird of prey. We then moved on to another view point which was just as beautiful and Adar was pointing out all the interesting views and giving us information. Her English was very good just a little quick but made us chuckle. We then went to the cashew factory and had some sampling and was able to purchase some nuts and other gifts. Then as we couldn’t go to the big Buddha Adar took us to the gem factory, we learnt about all the different gems that come from Phuket and the surrounding waters. We were never rushed it was all at our pace. After the gem factory we drove through the old town of Phuket where Adar pointed various interesting points before we headed back to our hotel. If was a fantastic day thanks to Adar. Thank you so much, we would definitely recommend this private tour.

Once in a lifetime experience - I had both a private driver and guide,,,,two for the price of one! On the way to the big Buddha my guide mentioned places to pet a tiger and feed a baby elephant. I said I was interested and she deviated from the schedule so I could do both. What a special thrill of my vacation! She took me to a food court and explained the various dishes. As I did not have any local currency, she even exchanged a few dollars for me. She let me hotspot her phone so I could send tiger and elephant photos back home during lunch. A wonderful experience.

An absolutely perfect day. Could not ask for anything more!

Fantastic tour of Phuket island and big Buddha. Excellent guide Aida!! - Our guide Aida was phenomenal! So much energy and enthusiasm from the minute we met at our hotel lobby until the end of the afternoon. Very knowledgable and really cares about sharing the best Phuket has to offer. So much history and culture you would never get from big group tours. Do yourself a favour and get a private tour booked, you won’t regret it!!

Thank you Yoh for being a... - Thank you Yoh for being a great guide and for showing us her love for Phuket. There were 7 of us on the tour, some have visited Phuket in the past. But she has managed to keep us all engaged throughout the tour. We were able to customise the tour according to our preference which is a bonus to us.

Good value for money - A great tour and good value for money. The guide was very knowledgeable and the driver was very safe. I was given an itinerary but, asked if there were any parts of it I would like to change or if there was anything else I would like to see. I would fully recommend this tour to anyone. A great insight into Phuket.

Excellent Choice - Our guide and driver were courteous and obliging. they apologized for the effects of nature which had closed the visit to the Big Buddha because of a landside that caused thirteen fatalities. if we visit again the Big Buddha will still be there [hopefully] Visiting the gem factory and outlet was amazing, and we resisted the urge to spend. there thankfully was no pressure upon us to buy. I/we would recommend this tour.
