Phuket City Tour

Not value for money. Seemed too expensive.

We did a city tour in Phuket City today and overall the experience was underwhelming. The guide mainly drove us from place to place and only spoke when we asked direct questions. We expected a more informative, engaging, and lively tour, especially given this was a guided experience. At the end of the tour, we asked to be taken to a massage place and were brought to Mookda Spa, which felt like a tourist trap and not something we would recommend. It gave the impression that the stop may have been commission-based rather than chosen for quality or value. Overall, the tour did not meet our expectations.

This was a nice tour, hit all the stops on the itinerary except the Bazaar. We didn’t get so much history about Phuket. We were the only ones on the tour which was a little od. Halfway through the guide picked up his wife who couldn’t speak English. Once he picked her up - he stayed sleeping in the car while she took us around. When it was lunch, we offered to pay for (and did) their lunch and he still asked for a tip at the end.

It was just the 2 of us on this tour, but wongsak boonkong our tour guide was excellent, he took us to all of the attractions as stated on Tripadvisor! Being a local his knowledge of the area was exceptional, also because it was just the two of us, we asked him to join us for lunch which was very special. Highly recommended and 🙏🙏 Soon!

No-one showed up to take me on the tour. They told me that they were 20 minutes late and that I wasn’t there. I waited almost an hour but they were a no show and they did not answer their phone the day before so that I could confirm pick up or the day of the tour. We tried to contact them at least 6 times.

Was an amazing tour apart from stopping to feed the baby elephant that was in a really small cage. We didn't know this was part of the tour. If we were aware of this, would never have booked this tour. Also, the tour is advertised as English Speaking tour guide but our tour was 95% in Russian which neither myself nor my partner speak or understand. This tour should be advertised as Russian Speaking and not English Speaking! The tour guide gave us a very brief description at the first couple of stops, but after that it was just to tell us how long we have at the stop!

We booked through trip advisor using reviews which we thought sounded better than those you can book in patong town. Once all 4 other pick ups were completed in the morning, we soon found we were the only British ones on the tour, everyone else was Russian including the tour guide. Despite this, we were ensured that we would still be included by the tour guide providing the information first to us then in Russian. On multiple occasions, we were bypassed and not spoken to by the guide therefore missing parts. Most of the trip, the tour guide was more interested in his own personal phone than the job he was being paid for! The very worst part of this is experience was the surprise we were told about half way through.. we stopped at a side road to ‘feed and meet Bella’. Bella was an alone elephant cornered into a tiny enclosure marked off with scaffold poles, commanded to complete the same 4 poses for the tourist paying 100baht for a bowl of food. THIS WAS NOT WHAT WE BOOKED OR SPECIFIED ON TRIP ADVISOR BOOKING INFORMATION. We are not tourist who exploit such beautiful creatures so we were beyond furious. Secondly, the tour felt very rushed. No lunch was included which we understood but we were given no time to find anything to eat despite it being an all day trip. We therefore wasted our time at Phuket old town finding a quite bite to eat, meaning we saw little of the famous walking street at all. As previously stated, this was meant to be an all day trip yet we were back by 3pm at the latest, with the tour guide being home at 2 as he was dropped off before we were even back in patong! (Perhaps that’s not part of his job but we haven’t had that on the other trips!) Combining the parts of the trips which were not included in the booking information along with the feeling we were just constantly getting in and out of the mini bus all day, I would not recommend with this company. However I would recommend the trip to big Buddha, Buddhist temple and the viewpoints

Thank you Kim. Our guide is a very proud Thai and provided good insight to the Thai people and culture. The tour was one of the most comprehensive ones I found and it did not let me down. There was enough time at each stop and a lot of stops.

It is a half day tour. Visited Karon beach. Took pictures of Kata beach and View Point. Took pictures of rawai. Spectular views the beach are crystal clear. Went to Chalong Temple visited the Buda. Went to the nut factory. Also visited a gem factory and saw a video of how gems are made. Passed through phuket Town and saw the old town. It is a good trip to see lovely beachs

Tour was great, there were only 4 of us in total and they still went ahead with the day. Tour guide was very informative and took lots of photos for us. Good way to see lots of Phuket and main attractions.

The guide was very friendly and informative. Some places are not that much worth going.but overall very good experience👌

We saw some amazing sights. It was a wet day but it did not dampen our view. I had a rather bad fall and notified the seller of the fall but have not had any feedback from them which I find quite disapointing.

We had an awesome day. Our driver, Phat was excellent driving safely and smoothly having a smile all day making us feel welcome. Lotus, our tour guide, was so much fun and full of knowledge about the sights we visited. We were picked up on time even though our resort was out of the way. They delivered everything as promised and so much more. Highly recommend for everyone.

Prompt pickup at our hotel. Problems with ticket numbers not matching... Booked through trip advisor but no correlation between our e-ticket and drivers list... All sorted through - thanks. Great helpful tour guide and very comprehensive coverage of Phuket. Visited a lot of places and there was plenty of time at each stop. Could have done with a lunch stop. Otherwise great deal and recommend

My boyfriend and I booked the tour thinking it would be solely based on city sightseeing, much to our upset, one of the stops was to visit a baby elephant. We stopped for 5 mins for the tourists to take pictures (which the guide had mentioned is "trained for photos") and feed a chained up baby elephant, no mother in sight. My boyfriend and I refused to get off the bus. Apart from this the tour was very beneficial and the guide told us lots of information and was helpful. The timing of everything was good and was worth what we paid. However, I feel they should mention before booking that you'll be viewing a tied up animal, because otherwise we wouldn't have booked the tour.

Nici our Russian guide handled the mixture of Russian and us English speaking guests really well and we covered so many locations in the day. A very good once over of the main sites and views around the island for a good price.

This tour includes much more locations than many other city tours across Phuket. We are visited Big Buddha, Wat Chalong, May Thai street , Phuket Town and the many beautiful viewpoints also was meted with baby elephant and wild monkeys. The best thing however, is unlike the other tours I've been on they do not bring you to locations that specifically encourage you to buy things.
