Not the best tour with beautiful locations.
Place that we visited were amazing! If it weren’t for the attractions it would be a very bad day. #1 You will be in small, old, dirty and smelly mini bus for 7-8 hours #2 Food is horrible for lunch. You can’t buy anything other than snacks there. #3 Not very organized. Bus will be late for people that will be at Bang Tao. They start pick up from south of the Phuket to the north.
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you found the places we visited amazing.
We would like to clarify a few points to avoid any misunderstanding. All transportation used for this tour consists of modern, well-maintained minibuses that are regularly cleaned and inspected. We take vehicle comfort and safety very seriously.
This is a group tour, not a private tour. As such, pickup and transportation times may vary depending on guest locations, and the route typically starts from the south of Phuket and moves north to ensure an efficient pickup process for all participants.
Lunch is provided as described in the tour details, and food options at the location may be limited. This information is clearly stated in advance so guests know what to expect.
We appreciate your comments and will continue to review all feedback to further improve our overall service and organization.

Epic scenery & peaceful vibes
This tour had it all – sunrise over mountains, majestic temples, and cruising on a mirror-like lake. Everything ran smoothly and the van was super comfy. Couldn’t have asked for a better day
Operator response
That sounds like a perfect day — we’re really happy it felt that way for you.
Sunrise views, temples, and the calm lake make this tour something special, and it’s great to hear everything ran smoothly and comfortably.
Thanks for sharing your experience, and we’d love to welcome you again on another journey.

Three spectacular sights in one day
It was a very nice day with the most beautiful places Phuket and surroundings has to offer. Our guide Lilly was able to tell us a lot and shortened the long journey times with all sorts of anecdotes. The first stop was an Indian temple with lots of gold and very colorful.
Going by boat on Cheow Lan Lake through the rocky landscape was beautiful and lunch was really delicious. The second highlight was Sametnangshe. One has a spectacular view of probably the most beautiful bay in Thailand. We were a very nice troupe of 8 people and there were really enough toilet breaks. We booked the tour the day before, but it all worked out great. Thanks to everyone for the great day
Operator response
We’re so happy to hear you had such a wonderful day exploring Phuket and the surrounding areas! Lilly will be delighted to know her stories and guidance made the journey even more enjoyable. It sounds like a truly memorable experience!

Nature overdose in the best way!
Cheow Lan Lake is just wow… crystal-clear and surrounded by rainforest cliffs. The boat ride was smooth, and we even saw hornbills!
Great balance of activities and chill time
Operator response
That's wonderful to hear! Cheow Lan Lake truly is a special place, and we're so glad you found it "wow." Seeing hornbills on a smooth boat ride and enjoying that perfect mix of activities and relaxation sounds like an ideal day. Thanks for sharing your experience!
