Wonderful excursion 🙏 - It was just the 2 of us on this tour, but wongsak boonkong our tour guide was excellent, he took us to all of the attractions as stated on Tripadvisor! Being a local his knowledge of the area was exceptional, also because it was just the two of us, we asked him to join us for lunch which was very special. Highly recommended and 🙏🙏 Soon!

A must do - Thank you Kim. Our guide is a very proud Thai and provided good insight to the Thai people and culture. The tour was one of the most comprehensive ones I found and it did not let me down. There was enough time at each stop and a lot of stops.

Great way to see Phuket - Tour was great, there were only 4 of us in total and they still went ahead with the day. Tour guide was very informative and took lots of photos for us. Good way to see lots of Phuket and main attractions.

Great Day - We saw some amazing sights. It was a wet day but it did not dampen our view. I had a rather bad fall and notified the seller of the fall but have not had any feedback from them which I find quite disapointing.

Good tour - bad guide - This was a nice tour, hit all the stops on the itinerary except the Bazaar. We didn’t get so much history about Phuket. We were the only ones on the tour which was a little od. Halfway through the guide picked up his wife who couldn’t speak English. Once he picked her up - he stayed sleeping in the car while she took us around. When it was lunch, we offered to pay for (and did) their lunch and he still asked for a tip at the end.

Sold as English Speaking tour but should be advertised as Russian speaking - Was an amazing tour apart from stopping to feed the baby elephant that was in a really small cage. We didn't know this was part of the tour. If we were aware of this, would never have booked this tour. Also, the tour is advertised as English Speaking tour guide but our tour was 95% in Russian which neither myself nor my partner speak or understand. This tour should be advertised as Russian Speaking and not English Speaking! The tour guide gave us a very brief description at the first couple of stops, but after that it was just to tell us how long we have at the stop!

disappointed and not what we booked - We booked through trip advisor using reviews which we thought sounded better than those you can book in patong town. Once all 4 other pick ups were completed in the morning, we soon found we were the only British ones on the tour, everyone else was Russian including the tour guide. Despite this, we were ensured that we would still be included by the tour guide providing the information first to us then in Russian. On multiple occasions, we were bypassed and not spoken to by the guide therefore missing parts. Most of the trip, the tour guide was more interested in his own personal phone than the job he was being paid for! The very worst part of this is experience was the surprise we were told about half way through.. we stopped at a side road to ‘feed and meet Bella’. Bella was an alone elephant cornered into a tiny enclosure marked off with scaffold poles, commanded to complete the same 4 poses for the tourist paying 100baht for a bowl of food. THIS WAS NOT WHAT WE BOOKED OR SPECIFIED ON TRIP ADVISOR BOOKING INFORMATION. We are not tourist who exploit such beautiful creatures so we were beyond furious. Secondly, the tour felt very rushed. No lunch was included which we understood but we were given no time to find anything to eat despite it being an all day trip. We therefore wasted our time at Phuket old town finding a quite bite to eat, meaning we saw little of the famous walking street at all. As previously stated, this was meant to be an all day trip yet we were back by 3pm at the latest, with the tour guide being home at 2 as he was dropped off before we were even back in patong! (Perhaps that’s not part of his job but we haven’t had that on the other trips!) Combining the parts of the trips which were not included in the booking information along with the feeling we were just constantly getting in and out of the mini bus all day, I would not recommend with this company. However I would recommend the trip to big Buddha, Buddhist temple and the viewpoints

No show - no go - No-one showed up to take me on the tour. They told me that they were 20 minutes late and that I wasn’t there. I waited almost an hour but they were a no show and they did not answer their phone the day before so that I could confirm pick up or the day of the tour. We tried to contact them at least 6 times.
