Amazing one day tour with a mix of sights and culture! - Great intinary and mix of activities to do in a day! Loved walking through Phuket old town and seeing all the colors and shops before trying some local food and drinks. Went on from there to a more cultural part with the elephant tour and sights. Ended the day with a spectacular view from Windmill viewpoint. We had a really nice day! ❤️

Great value to see most of Phuket - Well organized trip! Double check to see that your hotel is in the pick up zones and make sure you have the viator app on your phone. You get email notifications for messages from the tour operator the day prior to your tour. To access messages,go to >contact operator. Anyway,this tour was well worth it! We were picked up from our hotel 10 min earlier than pick up time sp be ready. Also this was an all day tour hitting multiple cities so make sure you set aside a full day for this. We stopped at key areas and were driven all over Phuket! From Old Town,the southern most poing,up Karon and all the way back to Patong. There are drinks on the van(note your driver picks up everyone) and our guide provided authentic snacks. Was surprised by the lunch bc we were taken to a local streetfood spot in Old Town and we were able to choose our own dish. The guide was very knowledgeable and kind. I learned so much about the culture! Favorite part was the temple and Bukit elephant park. We had ample time to walk around and take photos at scenic spots. This tour was a good way to learn what area we'd like to come back to (patong is very touristy and it's much less hectic in the more local areas). Tour guide even gave tips on taking public transportation. Please tip your tour guide and your driver!!!

LOVED IT! - Such a great experience! It all began with perfect transfer from hotel then meeting our amazing guide who took great care of us and ensured he shared a lot of insights into the places we visited. Unfortunately the weather was far from ideal so we didn’t get to wander old Phuket town as we would have liked but that’s no issue. The big Buddha is also closed and the fog meant we didn’t get to see much of it but was still good to be there and see how majestic it appeared. Viewpoint was awesome (but no sunset due to aforementioned weather). The temple was quite nice to see in person after having heard much about it. But by far the stand out of this tour was the elephant sanctuary!!! What an incredible time that was!!!! Just so grounding to see the rescued elephants and hear of their stories, and get to Pat and take photos with them, and feed them! Epic! An expeience I will never forget And the food they let us choose from for lunch was amazing!!! One of the best hokkien noodles and pad Thai with dumplings and spring rolls we had tasted!

Something for everyone! - I enjoyed the City shopping area. Many of the shops offered well made and unique items that I hadn’t seen during my stay in Thailand so far. Lunch was also very good and I liked savoring the local food and dessert. All in all it was a lovely day, or guide Rita was very knowledgeable and made our experience comfortable and enjoyable. Our driver, Mr T, kept us safe on the busiest roads and welcomed us with cold drinks and blessed air conditioning!

Fantastic experience - definitely recommend! - - Great trip covering a good amount of Phuket to get a nice feel for the overall place. - Tour guide was super enthusiastic, funny and very informative. Enjoyed her as the host. - The elephant sanctuary visit and also the temple were amazing, and the quick wander through old town we had time for enticed us to go back again the next day to spend more time - Overall a great experience. Only things I might have changed is getting yourself to the meeting point as the pick up/drop offs of other guests added quite a lot of time (mainly due to traffic), and also would have been nice to have a bit more time in a couple places. - You can book this tour (and your holiday!) through me as an independent travel agent - on Instagram I am @__travel_tapestry__

Phuket tour - elephants, city and 2 view points - The elephant sanctuary is worthwhile. The tour lasted about 7 hours. It was a lot of driving, winding roads to big Buddha which was closed and top of a beach area popular for sunset though we didn’t stay for it. Old town Phuket, architecture was nice. Lunch food court, many vendors closed. Stop at the temple. One structure was air conditioned because they had life size wax sculptures of famous monks (I think). We had no one to explain to us. Our tour guide and driver were very nice.
