Family Vacation - We visited Phuket, Thailand in August 2024 and attended the Phuket City Tour, Big Buddha. This was a wonderful tour where we got to see and learn more about the culture. Afterwards we had lunch by the ocean. I would highly recommend this tour.

Alex Rocks - Despite the weather great tour! Enhanced by Alex (tour guide aka excellent photographer). And Kuk our very good driver. Beautiful trip. Operator needs to let people know that Big Buddha is closed and not sell as part of the tour

Good outing - We visited the tour Alex was very good sadly big Buddha was closed due to some accident hence we only went to point go take picture from the point. The rest was good worth going to see other things

Excursion in the rain ⛈️😕 - We were unlucky: it rained heavily for almost the entire excursion. The giant Buddha couldn't visit because of a landslide. Otherwise the tour goes through the main points of interest of the area. The Guide did his bit but the day was simply not for excursions.

Don’t bother - We love a city tour and have been holidaying across Asia for a month so have been on loads. This one is not great. Firstly, it’s sold with a visit to the big Bhudda - which has been under renovation for months and isn’t accessible - only learned this the next day as the tour guide told us there was an ‘obstruction’ stoping us visiting ??? We took this to mean a car accident or flooding from the way he said this. Took us to a horrid place to take photos of chained up elephants instead - we’d specifically avoided tours like this where animals not well treated. The then visits to the ‘honey factory’ and the ‘cashew nut’ factory were nothing more than shops where they wanted you to buy, hard sell and not informative. Tour finished at the night market which was fab however we got 40 mins there - not enough time.

Tour not as promised - Having paid for a full tour including the Big Buddha and Cashew nut factory we were not informed until we had been collected by the tour bus (and had collected other customers from other locations) that the Buddha could not be visited due to a recent landslide making the area dangerous. We were also not taken to the Cashew nut factory and no explanation for not doing so was provided. Given that the landslide happened a few weeks ago, the Buddha aspect of the tour which is the main attraction should have been removed from the advertised programme, had they done so we would not have booked. I also notice despite raising concerns directly with Viator following the shortened tour that this tour with Big Buddha visit is still being advertised for sale. Very disappointing.

Disappointment - It has been disappointing, we have not gone to see the Big Buddha, it was closed from September 2 to 9 and we took the excursion on the 10th precisely to go to see the Big Buddha, because no... a disaster really, we have been taken to the Old Phuket which is fine for anyone who is interested. Bad truth... 😒
