May was a great tour guide! Exploring old town Phuket was great and beautiful. Lunch was well organized, the elephant sanctuary was great and informative and the temple was beautiful! Unfortunately we could not see the bid Buddha since it was closed due to construction but we saw a glimpse of it from below. It was a very hot day but the tour company does a good job with providing water, cooling towels and snacks. Great experience!

I am surprised you have asked me this; the event was cancelled, for which I was notified via email, owing to low turnout, and so rescheduled for Tuesday 15th April by your tour representative upon I agreeing to; this was accorded va Viator messaging, and should have been reflected accordingly on the APP; hence, I cannot rate this tour for I have not even been on it.

Short distance to santuary and well organised small group tour explaining the ethos of the sanctuary. We got up very Cl ose to two elephants, prepared and hand feed them snacks. But disappointed we didnt get to walk further round the compound and see more of the elephants residing at the santuary.

A good trip to see a things things in one outing, didn’t really learn a lot about the city we just got to explore for a short time. The Elephant part of the trip was the best bit, the staff were very informative and answered lots of questions. The view of the giant white Buddha was disappointing, it’s currently under renovation so we were restricted, you’ll be entertained by the wild monkeys!

It was absolutely incredible. This tour is a great introduction to Phuket. Fair warning for those who are wanting this trip for Big Buddha: it is closed right now due to land slides, they do not know when it will be safe for the public yet. However, we still got close enough to have a nice view of it. I still felt satisfied even though we were not able to see as close as anticipated. The temples, Old Phuket Town, and visiting elephants were a wonderful experience. I would absolutely recommend this tour.
