Perfect beautiful crew so nice little nod to Mike the guide (you’ll take full view ) it was magical
Cher Ly_C, Merci beaucoup pour votre merveilleux commentaire ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez trouvé l'excursion parfaite et magnifique, et que vous ayez apprécié notre équipage, en particulier Mike. Nous espérons vous revoir bientôt ! Cordialement, The Parallel Tour Team
Until the last hurdle the day was very well organised and very enjoyable. The pick up transfer arrived on time, and the journey to the departure peir in the north of Phuket as good as to be expected in the rush hour. On arrival at the meeting point, although it seemed a little chaotic, everything worked well and we were soon on the boat. The boat itself was very comfy and far more spacious than the one we had for our trip to Phi Phi. The whole day was very enjoyable with the canoe trip a highlight of the whole holiday. The only issue was at the end of the day on arrival back at the meeting point where our driver failed to be on time. We were told he would be 5 minute, but 45 minutes later he arrived. It is not ideal at the end of a long day, when all you want is to get home, to be stuck waiting for your driver to arrive in the searing heat.
Dear David_M, Thank you for your 4-star review. We are delighted to hear that the canoe trip was the highlight of your holiday and that you found the boat comfortable and spacious compared to your previous trips. However, we are very sorry about the significant delay with your driver at the pier. Waiting 45 minutes in the heat after a long day is not the experience we want for our guests, and we apologize for the miscommunication regarding the driver's arrival time. We will address this with our ground team to ensure better coordination in the future. We are glad that the rest of the day was enjoyable and hope to welcome you back again. Best regards, Thailand Tours Team
All-in-all very good experience. Loved the team, very friendly and attentive. English speaking guide is a local guy and only explains a quarter of what the Russian guide explains (one of us understands Russian), both facts about the places or advice for staying safe or making the most of it. The boat trip was comfortable and quite fast. When it comes to activities, they felt a bit rushed but I think that's mostly on the high season, it' SUUPER crowded everywhere.
Dear MihaiDe, Thank you for your 4-star review. We are happy to hear that you had a very good experience overall and found our team to be friendly and the boat comfortable. We really appreciate your specific feedback regarding the difference between the English and Russian commentary. This is very important for us to know. We will address this with our English-speaking guides to ensure they are sharing the same level of detail, history, and safety advice as our other guides. Regarding the activities feeling a bit rushed, you are absolutely correct that January is the peak of the high season. We try our best to manage the timing to avoid the biggest crowds, but we understand it can feel fast-paced during this time of year. We hope to welcome you back again! Best regards, Thailand Tours Team
Great day out and not too long, not the same speedboat as the picture our took about 20 of us. Fantastic your guide and finished the day on a gorgeous beach so take a towel and swimwear. Only downside maybe was the lunch on the Muslim village which wasn't great and cold but hey the rest of the day made up for it.
Dear Darrel, Thank you for your feedback! We are glad you enjoyed the gorgeous beach and the overall timing of the day. We appreciate your honest comment regarding the lunch at the Muslim village; we will look into ways to ensure the food is served at a better temperature for our guests. We hope the rest of your day in the islands was fantastic! Best regards, Thailand Tours Team
Just home from James Bond island trip We had a gr8 time. Bobby and his staff on r boat gave 💯 to r experience. From time we got collected and dropped off all the people involved were happy and helpful I’d a knee brace on and they couldn’t have been more helpful. Wod definitely recommend this trip for the staff and value for money
Dear Colette, Thank you for the wonderful review! We are so happy to hear that Bobby and the team provided a 100% experience for you. It is especially great to know that our staff went above and beyond to be helpful and accommodating with your knee brace. We truly appreciate your recommendation! Best regards, Thailand Tours Team
Excellent experience. The guide Mac, the staff were all very courteous. Though it was raining very heavily, the boat captain and the staff made it very safe for us and we could still complete the planned Itinerary in very good time. Recommended for all.
Dear Joydip, Thank you for the wonderful review! We are so pleased that Mac and the rest of our crew were able to keep you safe and complete the itinerary despite the heavy rain. We will be sure to share your kind words with the whole team! Best regards, Thailand Tours Team
Did not attend due to the rain and the wind have asked for a refund would of been happy to change days also to late now
Dear Michael oughton! Our driver arrived at your hotel lobby as scheduled. You then cancelled the trip at the last minute, citing cloudy conditions in the morning. As you may be aware, all sea tours are operating normally, and the sea conditions are favorable. While there was cloud cover in Phuket just in the morning, it did not impact tour operations. Please note that our policy states cancellations made within 24 hours of the scheduled departure are non-refundable. Best regards, Parallel Tour
Everything was organised in a nice manner. The only hitch was that my time of departure was advanced by an hour. I wanted to contact the operator through message and phone but couldn’t contact.
What a truly fabulous day! Finally got to see the world-famous location where the James Bond 007 classic "The Man With The Golden Gun" was actually filmed. Also got to visit several other spectacular and unique islands. Wonderful, and worth every single penny!
The guide was funny and friendly. The tour was well organized. We had a lot of fun during the journey.
