This was a fantastic tour. Our driver, Manod was fantastic. He showed huge flexibility with our schedule and was so friendly and warm. He supplied us with water and the car was air conditioned and very comfortable. Manod was a very good driver and explained every part of the trip and how long it would take. Manod also took pictures for us which was such a lovely addition to our day and gave us something we will treasure. We had the best day ever and this was our first experience of a private tour through Viator as before we had only take tours throughout the cruise tour operators but we will definitely be booking again through Viator. Manod was a fantastic driver and made our day in Phuket very special 10 out of 10.

Great day out in Phuket
We had a wonderful day in Phuket. Our vehicle was a luxury minicab for 10 people but there were just 2 of us on the tour. Our driver was Manod, he was a great driver and very responsive. There was a slight mix up with our pickup point, there are more than 2 ports that cruise ships dock at. We booked our excursion because it had "For cruise ship passengers" in the title. The owner called me about 90 minutes before we were due to be picked up and advised that the pickup was at the other port so make sure you know which port you are arriving at. I have still given the excursion 5 stars because the owner quickly sorted it out, she called the driver and asked him to drive the 40 minutes over to our port and pick us up from there so the customer service was excellent, thankyou to the operator. We had to get to the dock by water shuttle and our driver arrived at the exact same moment we did at the meeting point.
We didn't get to go into the Big Buddha centre due to a landslide but we got a side on photo which was good.
I think there needs to be a note in the description of this excursion noting that there is Phuket deep water port and also Patong port which cruise ships use when arriving in Phuket and you need to know which one prior to booking.

Thank you for your detailed review! We’re pleased the pickup mix-up was resolved and that Manod helped you enjoy a wonderful day in Phuket. Your suggestion to make the different cruise ports clearer is very helpful. We also appreciate your understanding about the restricted access at the Big Buddha.
