Amazing tour - Brilliant tour with so much to see and great value for money. Lovely local food in Phucket town, followed by elephants, temples, big Budda and more. Our guide Arm and driver Wee where excellent and gave us plenty of information and gave us time to wander around the sites ourselves. Never felt rushed. The highlight was seeing the elephants, which was in a beautiful environment and it looked like the elephants where very well cared for.

Good option for first-timers - Pick up started off on a bad note. The confirmed pick up time was 12pm. However, the hotel concierge called at 1105 to tell us our driver was waiting. We had to scramble to shower/get ready for fear of getting left behind. But, there was only myself and husband on the tour, so we ended up getting to take our time everywhere. The sites were great. We enjoyed the elephant park. We ended up not going to the last spot for the sunset because it was very cloudy and it was suggested not a very good photo op, so we went back to our hotel early. Also, the vendor that provided the dessert was not available, so that was a bummer. With as much money as we paid, I felt like the team could have purchased it from a different vendor which there was one available near our lunch spot. All in all, a good experience for first timers. Hit up the major sites without having to deal with transportation.
