Very family friendly, especially for infants. Knowledgeable team and made us feel very comfortable from the beginning.

Too much time is allotted to the jewelry factory. Guide speaks too fast and is hard to understand most of the time. Good time at the scenic overview. Should have included a stop at the elephant "park".

Very good private tour by car with a good driver and knowledgeable guide. Around five and a half hours which is ample time to see the main sights and spend time at various locations and lookouts. A lot of traffic at times but that is normal for Phuket. Enjoyed the tour.

This was the most awesome, most informative tour EVER!!! Ada was our guide. She gave us so much information the whole day. On the way to the tour, she told us about everything we were seeing along the way. She explained all the rules regarding visiting a temple so we were properly dressed and prepared.. BEST land tour in Phuket!!!

Yo our guide was amazing and very knowledgeable. Happy to adapt the tour to suit us. We were a party of 4 and all enjoyed the full tour. Lots of photo opportunities which Yoh was happy to take. Didn’t go to Gem factory so got longer time in Old Phuket town. Thoroughly recommend.

This was a brilliant private tour. Guide and driver were amazing. Even took me to the supermarket for a hair dryer ! Unable to enter the Big Bhudda site due to a landslide but I was notified of that in the Uk before travel. Instead we were taken to a good viewing site for photos and there were souvenir shops close by. Free time in Phuket old town for shopping. Great tour and back at cruise ship in plenty of time. Highly recommended.
