The itinerary did not match the one advertised. The tour guide didn't go e a commentary as we drove around, only when we reached a site did he say anything, and then very little. Couldn't see the Cashew farm due to it being out of season, I stead went to a bee farm which was also out of season. All in all, I would not advise booking this.

Fantastic tour, very informative and went around seeing much of the culture. Honey farm was brilliant. Really enjoyed myself

This tour was very disappointing. We were shuffled between vehicles, given no information at any stop, and not even allowed to visit the Big Buddha—only view it from a parking lot. Most of the day was wasted at shopping stops (honey and cashew factories) that no one wanted. Wat Chalong and Old Town were nice, but we were only given one hour in the best part of the tour. Save your time and money—take a taxi straight to Old Town instead.

Moi Win was very knowledgeable and courteous. He even told us the places to shop. I wish we could've stayed longer because there was so much more to see, especially the beaches.

We did this tour with Daisy as our guide and it was fantastic. Couldn’t have asked for a more informative and helpful guide who made the trip. The Big Buddha was closed due to land slide, the views were amazing and was well worth the trip. Old Phuket town is beautiful and had we thought of it we would have stayed here at the end of the tour and made our way back. Highly recommend this tour

Our tour guy was good and knowledgeable and gave good tips. It was a quick and easy way to know Phuket I wish I had more time at the market

Hotel pickup and drop, clear communication/information about the attractions, ample time to view. Given the Thailand heat they kept the bus running for those who needed air conditioning sooner. Good way to see the rest of the beaches and the Phuket town.

Great way to see all of the attractions Phuket has to offer. Daisy was great very knowledgeable! Big Buddha was an amazing site to see in person!

Great tour with Mawin! We saw all the popular sights in Phuket. Mawin took some great photos of us as well, one we are using for our holiday card.

Highly recommend this tour. I got mixed up about the pick up spot - mainly due to late arrival into Phuket and luggage delayed. The driver was very understanding, helpful and came to get me. Desi our tour guide was friendly and fun, full of great information and spread her time across the group. The tour allows a good amount of time per visit location. Day one and Ive just about done most of my gift shopping based on the recommendations Desi gave at the Cashew nut factory. Thank you Desi and team for a great introduction to Phuket. Ps very nice people on the tour (10 of us in total).
