We had a driver and guide...
We had a driver and guide for this tour. Enjoyed learning about the area as our guide was very knowledgeable. The big Buddha is very impressive but still closed due to landslides. We were able to get very close thanks to our driver and guide! Beautiful place!
Operator response
Dear Edward,
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your private tour and that our guide’s local knowledge added value to your day in Phuket.
While it is true that access to the Big Buddha has been affected by the recent landslides, we are so glad our team was able to use their expertise to get you as close as possible for those impressive views. Our goal with private rentals is to provide that extra level of flexibility and 'insider' access, even when conditions change.
We will be sure to pass your kind words along to your driver and guide. We hope to welcome you back to explore even more of beautiful Phuket in the future!
Best regards,
Nick (IAsia Thailand Online)

Phuket 4 hour tour
Great guide and driver. Since this was a 4 hour tour, we did not have the time needed to see the sights the guide wanted to share with us since the travel from our hotel to the sites was an hour. I would recommend working out your agenda before the day of the trip so you there is clarity on what is possible given drive times and the sites you are interested in.
Operator response
Hi John,
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're glad to hear you had a great experience with our guide and driver. You make an excellent point — planning the itinerary in advance is definitely the best way to make the most of your time, especially on a shorter tour. We always recommend discussing your preferred sights ahead of time so we can tailor the route to fit within your schedule. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back to Phuket for a longer adventure next time!
Thanks,
Nick (IAsia Thailand Online)

Full Day Driver and guide, highly recommended!
We used I Asia Thailand (we used them last year) and we rented a van with guide Woody and driver.
We requested Woody after good comments and feedback. We did a 8 hour day trip and they were punctual, dressed well, excellent English and very informative. We started from Patong and made our way north before stopping for lunch and then east road back to the south to the many view points.
The van was clean with great aircon and wifi!!!. We also had our own hand sanitiser and also wipes throughout the day.
I would suggest and recommend I Asia Thailand to any family and friends. We would happily use their services again!

Private tour around Phuket during Covid! Excellent
We booked this private vehicle with I Asia Thailand during Covid. We booked the 8 hour slot as we wanted to go around the whole island. We were picked up at the hotel by Mr Woody who was so passionate and excited to be showing us around. We went first to north of the island and to the laguna area and we worked down to several beaches and then to a great view point near Karon. Woody took us to Phuket Town where we all had lunch at a very local thai restaurant. We then went to the temple and then to the statue overlooking the sea and went shopping as well to a local market. We did so much during the day!
This was all private and as there was 4 of us it was great value and woody was so helpful and we dropped us back at the hotel in the evening.
If you want to be spoiled and have a private experience then definitely book this tour.
