Good tour guide, amazing pictures - We had a wonderful time ! We did all the things that were planned. Incredible views, good driver and a really committed tour guide. Noi made sure we had a great time, even if the access to the big Buddha was closed (due to whether conditions), and took us the closest to it we could get. She’s a really talkative person, who will gladly explain to you any thaï traditions (Buddhism, local things, food, lifestyle,…). She also did us some amazing pictures !! With her own phone but my friends though they were taken on a professional camera lol. Even if the day was rainy, we were happy to visit and to go back to our hotel safely. Would recommend !

Thailand - The views of the temples and mountains was expectacular, the food was delicious, the ride was comfortable and not boring. I was able to see some monkey and I saw a few elephants. We and Arm showed us around and let us walked around Main Street to shop around and explore.

Definitely worth it! Phuket is worth seeing! - The driver picked us up on time from the hotel, and we picked up the tour guide who was very knowledgeable and informative. We toured old town Phuket, went to see the monasteries and the big Buddha. We even got to visit the Tigers jungle and took lots of pictures. Definitely worth a tour to see the touristic attractions of Phuket, but come with full energy. It's a long day of fun and sightseeing.

Very knowledgeable - Covered a lot of ground and gained a real insight into the history of Phuket. Saw the Big Buddha statue, along with much of the architecture around the city. Thanks!

A great morning tour - I enjoyed the variety of sights we saw. Despite the rain it didn’t stop us. The temple area was interesting. Our guide was very knowledgeable.

Nah! Skip it! - Not my favorite excursion. We spent most of the day riding around in the van getting car sick on the roads. Then had a flat tire at the Big Buddha. Didn’t get Phuket Pancakes. Guide was real nice though.

Not as expected - Very few memorable parts. It was really a drive with the guide mainly talking with the driver. Very disappointing

Disappointing Experience - Very disappointing. The whole experience was a let down from the start. We were picked up from our hotel and told our guide would join us on the way. Midway a man got into the car, he didn’t acknowledge us. In fact I introduced myself and asked him if he was our guide and his response was “hold on a second”. He proceeded to speak to the driver in their dialect. He then introduced himself as our guide, Mr. Tong. During our entire day, I felt his demeanor was never enthusiastic, he just did the bare minimum but never went out of his way to make the experience interesting. When we visited the Wat Chalong, he did not accompany us inside the temple to explain the rituals, but we noticed tour guides from other companies giving a detailed explanation to their customers. He did not ever voluntarily offer any cool drinks although the weather was sweltering. We had to ask him for water and drinks and he reluctantly gave us water. When we asked for fruit juice, he lied saying he didn’t have any. I reminded him that soft drinks were included. We later noticed that he had fruit juices in a plastic bag in the back of the car. We didn’t get to eat the local dessert as mentioned on the website. Our guide told us it wasn’t available that particular day. Again very disappointing. I felt the price tag for this trip was way too high for the mediocre service. The whole experience was dissatisfying. Pros- the driver was on time for pickup and the SUV was clean and well kept. The food at the local market had several options for vegetarians.
