good but very long tour
RJ1959,,Feb 6, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
4.00Very informative, covered a lot of the highlights of Phuket island (south and western parts). Pick ups were slow and the tour stretched from 1/2 day to an almost full day tour. Should consider offering the tour earlier - say 10 am if this is how long it generally takes
dishonest claimant
SIAVOCHE G,,Feb 5, 2026
- Review from Viator
1.00When I booked, in the confirmation it was noted that I would have to pay 500 bhat to the driver who was to pick me up at the hotel. The service provider, Sightseeingbangkok.com requested payment of 700 bhat. When I protested, they wrote to me that either I was paying the amount requested of 700 bhat or it would be cancelled without refund. The day of the excursion, the hairdresser came with the guide. I protested again against the payment, which was higher than the agreed sum. Finally and as I had no choice, I said that I reluctantly agreed to pay, but I had to go to the bathroom soon before. When my wife approached the car to get in, they closed the door and left at full speed and almost ran over my wife's feet. If I had time, I'd have called the police to file a complaint.
Great guide

4.00Amazing guide who took us through the best spots of Phuket and gave us a really good experience for half a day 🙏 Unfortunately the road up to the Big Buddha was closed for safety reasons after a landslide. Instead we got to see a local honey producer, which was nice. The temple of Wat Chalong was amazing! Altogether very good. We recommend going with Mawin the guide 😎😎
Worth the trip!

5.00It has been a beautiful and different experience on the island, focused on the cultural. It is a shame that the Big Buddha is not yet open to the public, but the tour is still very worthwhile. As for our guide, Daisy, she's an angel! She was very attentive to our enjoyment, and is an excellent photographer. On the bus we did karaoke, hahaha, it was fun.
Great Round Up of the Area

5.00Great tour. Big Budda is still closed. We took photos from the side. Tried to open for a few days in January but it wasn’t safe to continue. Will try to open again this year. Saw many temples, bees and honey making, cashew nut factory, old Phuket town and beaches. Nicely organised with good access to clean toilets. Great tour guides who were very friendly and knowledgeable
Divine guidance!

4.00We were picked up from and later returned to our hotel. The guide was very helpful and the tour was interesting.
Excellent half day Phuket sights
Lesley B,,Jan 19, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
4.00Excellent 4-5 hour tour with minibus and tour guide. Only 4 of us on the trip today. Early start so nowhere was crowded. 15 to 20 mins stop for sights, 45 mins at the temple and an hour in Old Phuket which was ideal for photo stops and a bit of shopping. We paid extra on the day for hotel pick up from Cape Panwa to tour start in Pattong as out of pick up area but was a private taxi and very straight forward and pricing was made clear on booking.
