The tour of tours! If you are in Phuket do not miss this tour - absolutely amazing! You basically get to do everything - swimming and snorkelling on a wonderful remote beach, visit the big Buddha and meet with a monk, visit a temple, see a number of highlights and end in Old Town Phuket for the perfect meal, sightseeing and shopping. And top of all, Kim, our guide - absolutely perfect! She was so full of information, kind and engaging, made the tour attendees a real group which brought even more joy to the sightseeing. It was our last day in Thailand and we could have not asked for a better day - and massive praises to our guide for that. Easily said - totally recommended!

Guided activity. Driver does not speak English. It just left us in places. I asked the activity provider for explanations and they said that there is only a guide if the group has more than 6 participants and ours had only 4 people.... But none of this is explained when purchasing the ticket! In the end, it was a real waste of time.

Waiting time for transport to pick me up for tour is long due to the location im staying and streets, the tour guide is very knowledgeable and knows his things, fluent english spoken, didn’t waste a lot of time at an area of attractions where most of us are not interested in, very caring as well

A great experience to explore Phuket. Our tour guider helped us alot.

Great day of seeing the sights and enjoying Phuket.
