The private Instagram tour was fun & educational. Our tour guide Patty was friendly, knowledgeable and very accommodating! If you need an English speaking tour guide, make sure you ask for Patty,she was AMAZING!!!! And it being a "private" tour was the cherry on top, as you don't have to share your ride with other people.

We had an absolute fantastic time touring the city and viewing the amazing sites. Natty was our guide and she was knowledgeable and super nice. There was no stress of trying to find the perfect photo and background because our guide knew all the best spots. Couldn't recommend this service enough to any couple wanting a fun and exciting way to enjoy the sites!

This was a great experience before it even started. The company and Nanny communicated with me prior as to the itinerary and I felt completely comfortable on this tour and natty is absolutely phenomenal. She is such a great guide and a fun person. She knows angles lighting. She is just phenomenal all around she even let us stop at the Tiger Park because I wanted to go there. She’s just amazing. I can’t say enough good things about her and the tour itself.

Amazing service, Patty was attentive, knowledgeable, fun and flexible based on the weather and what we wanted to do. This is great tour experience if you’re interested in going at your own pace, having a lot of fun and making great intentional memories. From booking of the tour, the communication was excellent throughout. Even the lunch spot was incredible, food was sooo local and authentic and delicious.

If you're visiting Phuket solo, this tour is a must. Thanks to Nick for being my friend for the day. It was so nice to see the sights around Phuket and not have to worry about asking anyone to take my picture. It starts before you even get to Phuket, with excellent communication from Forever Vacation, to gauge your interests for what you want to see, even the music you'd like playing on the radio in the car. The actual day starts with a friendly pickup at your hotel. As I had landed in Phuket squarely in rainy season, I wasn't sure how my tour would go, but while I didn't have blue but gray skies as my backdrop, Nick and I got lucky and it would stop raining just long enough for him to show me each sight and get some pictures. He was determined that I have a great day. Fun can be had on this tour even if it rains; Nick had brought umbrellas, and I had my rain hat. However, be careful coming down the marble stairs of Wat Chalong temple with wet feet. LOL. I also had to watch myself at some of the props at Rock Beach since they were wet, but I still managed to get some great photos. I didn't have a long stay in Phuket, so this tour allowed me to get an overview of the area while capturing the evidence that I was there. Nick was a joy to spend the day with. And thanks for teaching me how to cool down spicy food with a warm broth. As solo travelers know, sometimes you have to pay as if there are two of you. Such as it is with this tour, but it was still worth doing for nearly a full day of adventure.
