A great introduction to Phuket - This tour was a great way to get acquainted with Phuket's rich history and culture. The guide was informative and engaging, and the tour was well-paced. I particularly enjoyed exploring the Old Town and learning about its Sino-Portuguese architecture.

A well organized tour - The tour was very well-organized, and the guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We had plenty of time to explore both Wat Chalong and the Old Town at our own pace. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Phuket.

Perfect half-day tour - This tour is ideal for those with limited time. We saw so much in just a few hours. The highlight for me was the Big Buddha!!

Tour was ok, but missed major attraction and the bus was in very bad state. - Overall nice guide and tour with lot of things to see. Big Buddha was a miss because of landslide which was informed to us at the last minute. The seats in bus were torn, and I do not know how tour company sent such a bus. Otherwise fine tour.

Not a tour about old Phuket town - I thought this was going to be a tour through old Phuket town and a stop at the main temple. Turned out to be a tourist trap. First stop was an overlook on a high point. Then we were brought to a honey shop- although a trap, the education about the bees and the honey tasting was interesting. Then we were brought to a jewelry store for as a “coffee” stop. Then a cashew store/ factory to buy products. Then to the big temple. Lastly we finally reached old Phuket town where I thought the guide would walk us around a give us some historical information of what makes it old etc, but we were dropped off and told we have 35 min to find something to eat and we would be bussed back. We decided that wasn’t enough time in old town and stayed behind to explore it. Then took a cab back to Patong. Another couple in our tour bus did the same because they also thought this tour was about the temple and old town. If you like all Those retail stops, then this is for you. If you want to know anything about old town, this will disappoint.

Horrible tour guide - This is the worst tour I’ve taken with Viator. First, our tour guide, Kitty, was silent through most of the trip. In Phuket Old Town, we were given 45 minutes to explore/shop on our own. There was no tour or discussion of the Sino-Portuguese architecture or anything else. We also made stops at a Tiger farm which was not on our itinerary. The tigers are kept sedated which is inhumane so that tourists could pet them and take pictures. The tigers did not move or get up from their laying position the whole time we were there. We also did another stop not on our itinerary to an elephant place where you could ride elephants. This is also inhumane. At Wat Chalong and at Big Buddha, the tour guide gave no commentary so we learned nothing from her about the sites. The 5 hour tour took 7 hours and the tour guide got dropped off at 5 hours do we ride home with the driver. I would give this tour no stars but that wasn’t allowed.
