This was a great customized tour of Phuket especially with VJ as your tour guide. He is extremely knowledgeable. Our tour got cut short but VJ did a great with squeezing a lot in a short period of time. Also he was able to hold our luggage in his van. If you’re going to visit Phuket, ask for VJ.
VJ was truly the highlight of our trip! He was very energetic throughout the entirety of the trip. He's very passionate and punctual. I would %100 recommend VJ!
VJ is the best guide - very friendly and professional! He was prompt and got us to our destination on time.

It was a pleasure sharing Phuket’s culture and beautiful places with you. Thank you for your recommendation, and hope to see you again in Phuket! Kop kun kap 😊 Best regards, VJ (Vatin)
I give 6 stars because it's worth it. VJ picked us up at the hotel on time at 10:00 and then we started.Since we already thought about which places we would like to visit beforehand, the route and order was quickly established. We could ask anything, VJ knew everything. Overall a very accommodating and nice guide. That the leadership only in English we knew and VJ speaks a well understandable English. The best tour ever. We really enjoyed the day and can only recommend this experience

This was a great Phuket sightseeing tour, allowing us to choose our own destinations. The guide who picked us up at our hotel was lovely and spoke good English. He was able to provide us with information throughout the trip. For anyone visiting Phuket and looking for a private tour of Phuket, I highly recommend this program.

Your recommendation truly means a lot, and I hope to welcome you back to Phuket again in the future! Warm regards, VJ (Vatin)
We had an amazing time on this tour! VJ was our tour guide and he did an awesome job showing our family around. We are a family of 4 and we picked 4 places to visit and he took us to each location as well as directed us where to go and what to do when we arrived at each one. He kept us informed throughout the drive and pointed out landmarks, facts and history about the city. He took family photos for us and was extremely attentive. One thing to keep in mind when booking is that the tour is 8 hrs and no food or drink is provided UNLESS one of your stops has an place to buy. We knew this so we took our own water and snacks. Also, you choose which locations to visit and determine the amount of time you spend at each stop. So be aware of the time as the tour is 8 hrs and you may run out of time at the end if you spend more at another site. We only had an hour at our last stop but it was fine as we just wanted a quick stop. You can also add additional time if needed, for a small fee of course. I would highly recommend this tour and I’d book again in the future.
Dear Jessica, Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review! I’m really happy to hear that you and your family had an amazing time on the tour. It was a pleasure showing you around Phuket and helping create a memorable day for your family. I truly appreciate your recommendation and would be happy to welcome you again in the future! Warm regards, VJ (Vatin)
Driver spoke poor English, hard to understand.Supposed to be a tour but was basically transportation with little commentary.
Dear jayd ad, Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations. We truly appreciate your comments, as they help us improve our service and communication for future guests. Kind regards, VJ (Vatin)
Highly recommend this experience! Guide provided us more than 20 activities to chose for the day and was flexible to change throughout the day. Our guide, VJ, is a local and very knowledgeable about the area. He answered all our questions and was very enthusiastic. Will book again with "Phuket Day Trip" if we ever come back again.
