Our guide is trying but still needs more experience on how to get his guest more involve for the tour to be more fun The basics have been covered but no above and beyond effort to get us more interested. We got picked up but he left us after and just let the driver drop us off back to our hotel. More effort is needed then he can be good...soon..
Very good tour! Good stops an a lot of Informations. Thank you Tour Guide Karima, wonderful service!
Don’t book the 18:00 slot because a couple of the places we visited were closed. We were unable to visit the palace as it was closed, Wat Pho we were in there for approximately 30 minutes before heading off to the next stop on the tour which closed at 20:00 so we were unable to see that but the other places were fine. Iconsiam is the place to be if you want to do some expensive shopping.
The host guide Daisy and her driver were both amazing . Very clean vehicle, good AC and reclining seats. At one stop, the steps were pretty steep and my lnees couldnt manage the climb, they let me stay in the vehicle with the AC cranked up. Thats going above and beyond. They spoke english and was very knowledgeable about the history of thai and Buddhism. I would recommend this tour and the guides to anyone.
Amazing experience with our very knowledgeable guide Daisy. Beautiful personality, always smiling, very helpful and informative. She is an asset to your company.
An excellent trip with a tour guide who was very good and knew a lot about the area and what we went to see and the drivers specially the last driver who was going to take us to hotel but very kindly offered to take us to tiger park and anywhere else we wanted to and let us get food on way back all the staff involved in today's excursions went above and beyond to make it a trip to enjoy and remember thank you daisy
The trip was good and the guide Daisy was wonderful with giving us information about all the places we went to, helped us take picture felt welcoming , hope to come and again .
Our tour guide Daisy was brilliant, she was very friendly informative and had such a sunny disposition! We felt like we had enough time to explore all the stops, we just wish there was more time in the old town, it was beautiful and there was loads to see! Only comment would be we booked this tour because it didn’t include a stop at the cashew factory (most tours seem to stop here - one of our party is allergic) would be good for the itinerary description to be updated to include this but we were able to leave and wait on the bus which was fine. The driver and Daisy made sure we got back to our hotel safely and overall we had a great day!
Mawin and his drivers did a great job today! The sights of Phuket were all great. We appreciated the special arrangement to pick us up at Marriott Beavh Club. The extra fee was very reasonable and made it all the more easy to take in this great trip. Recommend it for sure!!!
This tour is well organised from pick up at our hotel, the Big Budha - not well maintained. The Bee my Honey visit was very good. Fantastic products. Tiger Cave Temple complex was stunning. Phuket old town is really a must see experience with lovely shopping in various little quaint shops.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and found the arrangements well organized from hotel pickup to the various attractions. We're glad you loved the Bee My Honey visit, the stunning Tiger Cave Temple, and the unique charm of Phuket Old Town. Your feedback regarding the Big Buddha is also appreciated.
