A day full of surprises and magic places
We had an amazing day, travelling round the south part of the island, enjoying stunning views and visiting beautiful places, learning a lot about the Thai culture!
Our tour guide Jessie knows so much and she happily shared her knowledge and didn't leave a question unanswered.
A well organised day trip, great people in the background putting the tour together... We certainly recommend this company!

Great tour!
Fantastic day tour! We had a great day seeing the sights. The gem factory was a little weird but everything else was awesome. Our tour guide was so chatty, helpful and knowledgeable. He took wonderful care of us and made sure everything was great. The van was immaculate and the driver calm and safe. Definitely recommend.

Try another company
The driver was 1 hour late because he went to the wrong hotel. When he did show up, the first stop was to pick up the guide at the Gems Gallery, which they said was “a museum”; of course it was a ploy for us to buy jewelry. I was pretty upset by this time, and said I wanted to see the highlights of Phuket. Next stop was Old Town Phuket which was going to be another hour of shopping; I said 30 minutes only. If there were any historical sights in Old Town, we didn’t see them. The tour improved slightly with Wat Chalong, the big Buddha (closed because of a recent landslide), and Karon lookout.
Would not recommend.

Great experience! Great guide! Truly a “private” tour that is well structured yet flexible to meet personal requests.
Great experience! From the first moment of meeting our guide and driver, there was a feeling of comfort and ease - like truly speaking with friends.
The tour was well structured yet flexible enough to accommodate any modifications/wants from us as we went throughout the day; we also never felt rushed as we visited the various sights and locations.
Our guide was not only very knowledgeable about the locations, but also just a nice person to be around! The driver was excellent as well! Probably one of the more safe and smooth rides I’ve experienced in Thailand.
The price is very reasonable, especially with the fact that it is truly a “private” tour and no one other than your group will be combined with you.
