What people are saying about Phuket City

Great experience on this trip with yacht master. Wonderful tour guide who was very kind and caring for everyone and the kids on the tour too. Regular refreshments and snacks offered in between activities was a really nice touch and something the other company we used in Koh Samui didn’t offer. 10/10 would recommend and great value for money. The tour itself was good, but yes very crowded with tourists on each stop but that comes with the territory (literally).

Had a great Tour with Sexy Coco! Great, funny and relaxed Guide! Great organization with enough drinks and snacks. Highly recommend it for that price. The visited spots are out of this world

It was a great experience! Loved Pema :) lots of local delicious food with stories behind. Must start the tour with empty stomach. Thanks for everything! Must do thing in Phuket!!!

A big thank you to the tour guide Coco and the rest of the crew for the wonderful trip and bringing us to to these paradise islands!

Top experience, it's just a shame we didn't stop at Monkey Beach
