Very disappointing tour guide. He gave us very little to none information about the sites we visited. He just left us at the sites to “look around”. He took us to a diamond jewellery shop which wasn’t even on the itinerary and was of no interest to us. The Big Buddha site was closed for renovations and we were not able to enter it. The driver was very good and helpful. Overall, it felt like a wasted day as we didn’t learn about Phuket or its history.
Dear Tmi_S, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify that this is a half-day join-in tour, designed for guests who have limited time and would like a brief overview of Phuket’s main landmarks at a lower cost than traveling independently. As explained in the itinerary, guides provide general assistance and timing at each stop, while guests explore the sites on their own. Regarding the Big Buddha, it is currently closed by authrities, and visits are limited to the outside viewpoint only. This situation is beyond our control and is noted in the tour information. The stop you mentioned is a souvenir shop, which is a standard part of many shared city tours and is commonly included in the program. For guests who would like in-depth explanations, historical details, and a flexible schedule, we highly recommend booking a private full-day city tour, which allows for a more personalized experience. Thank you again for your feedback, and we appreciate your understanding. Regards, Nix

We look forward to welcoming you back to Phuket and showing you even more of the island’s beautiful sights on your next visit. 🌴✨ Regards,Nix
Save your money and book a private driver to take you to these places. We spent more time in the vehicle taking other passengers to activities that weren’t part of this tour than at our activities. The tour guide was useless and said no more than 3 sentences at each location and then went off and did her own thing. One of the most disappointing tours of our trip. If I could have give no stars I would have.
Dear Denise, Thank you very much for sharing your feedback with us. We are truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We will investigate this matter further and check directly with the tour guide assigned on that day, as this is not the standard of service we aim to deliver. As this is a half-day program of around 6 hours, we understand that the schedule can sometimes feel a bit rushed, but your comments are very valuable and will help us improve both our planning and the way our guides interact with guests. We sincerely appreciate your feedback and will use it to strengthen our team and provide a better experience in the future. Regards, Nix
This trip was good although would have liked to spend slightly longer at each stop. That being said, we did do 2 extra activities that were not advertised in the brochure. These were stopping to see the elephants with a baby that you could pay extra to feed and stopping at the tiger sanctuary where we paid extra to go in the enclosure to stroke a couple of tigers! Our tour guide Jack was really good, giving information about each part of the trip and timings to each one. It was worth the money as it was a packed afternoon exploring and experiencing some of the attractions Phuket has to offer in the comfort of an air conditioned minibus, with only 7 of us on board.
Dear Dionne, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts on our Half Day City Tour in Phuket! We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and the bonus activities we added in. including the stop to see the elephants. Feeding the elephants is one way we support their care, especially since they require a large amount of food daily. We appreciate your participation in that effort! Your feedback about wanting a bit more time at each stop is also noted and appreciated. we always strive to balance variety with comfort, and your input helps us improve. Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope to see you again in Phuket soon! Warm regards, Nix

This tour offered hotel pick up in Patong. We visited several sites. Wish we had more time in Old Town Phuket. Other stops included Cashew Factory, Bee Farm (loved the banana chips there), gem store (could have done without this stop), Wat Chalong and a stop at the base of Big Buddha. There was a landslide around Big Buddha so you can't get to it, but close enough to grab a photo from the side. Jack, our tour guide, was friendly and offered to take photos of us at multiple stops. Nice was to see a few highlights of Phuket at a reasonable price!
Dear Valerie, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for your kind words about our Half Day City Tour Phuket! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed exploring the highlights of Phuket and appreciated Jack’s friendliness and helpfulness as your guide. Regarding the stop at the gem store, we understand that it may not be everyone’s favorite part of the tour. We include this stop as part of our program because it helps support our guides and team through commission, allowing us to offer the tour at such a reasonable price. That said, there’s absolutely no obligation to make a purchase, and we appreciate that the store also features handmade souvenirs and local products for those who are interested. We aim to keep the stop brief (around 30 minutes), offering a chance for a short break in an air-conditioned environment, especially on hot days. However, we understand your feedback, and if you’re looking for a more tailored experience, we’d recommend considering a private tour where the itinerary can be customized to your preferences. Thank you again for joining us and for your constructive feedback. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future! Regards, Nix
There was lots to see with 6 stops along the way and our tour guide Jack was very nice. Could have been a bit more info, didn't get to learn much about any of the sights or the stops along the way. For example we visited a cashew factory but didn't learn a single thing about how cashews are processed.
Dear Tara_L, Thank you for sharing your experience on Viator. We’re pleased to hear you had a nice day out and enjoyed the variety of stops on our Half-Day City Tour. It’s great to know that Jack provided a friendly experience for you. We apologize, however, for the lack of detailed information at each stop. We strive to provide engaging and educational experiences, so your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve. We’ll be sure to discuss this with our team to ensure that future tours include more information about the places we visit, such as insights into the cashew processing at the factory. Thank you once again for your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back for a tour that meets your expectations in every way. Warm regards, Nick
My tour guide, Sunny, was great. He was accommodating and knowledgeable about Phuket. As we toured the city, he explained the history and Buddhist culture. Well worth the time.

Old town of Phuket, nice feeling . But prefer our tour guide to speak a little louder, and tell us the history of each sightseeing places. Prefer no shopping.
