This tour was great and if you want to see a lot of Phuket in a short amount of time I would recommend it. Our tour was just 4 people and Bam was great - very knowledgable and friendly. He took us to see all the highlights including some great photo op spots. Do not hesitate to book!

I had the most amazing time with my guide Parm! Best guide I ever had. Big Buddha is unfortunately closed but he made the best out of it, I would do it all over again.
