Great days with Raboom

5.00I had an incredible time touring James Bond Island and the surrounding Phuket islands with Raboom. He made the whole experience effortless — super friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely fun to be around. He knew all the best spots for photos, helped me avoid the crowds, and shared interesting stories about the area that made the trip feel special. The boat ride, caves, and lagoon stops were all perfectly timed, and he made sure I was comfortable and taken care of. If you’re visiting Phuket, I couldn’t recommend Raboom enough. One of the best tour guides I’ve had anywhere — made the day unforgettable.
Best experience ever

5.00Patti was amazing. She captured photos so stunning of me I was in disbelief. She shared Thai history, and it was excellent to connect and listen. I'm so glad I went solo and highly recommend.
Unique and memorable!

5.00This was such a cool and unique place, Anny was my tour guide and she made sure everything was perfect! She even knew to get us to the queue early so there was no waiting! We also toured three temples, where she informed me on the traditions and history of each, it was a great day, I would recommend this tour if you are looking for unique experiences while in Phuket
The Perfect Experience !

5.00Our tour was great! Natty was able to navigate the chaos at the café to get us to the front of the line. She was very knowledgeable about the temples and shared alot of culture with us. She also took beautiful pictures and videos. The group gave very positive feedback about Anny. They appreciated that she was able to order for the group and kept them on schedule. They were grateful that she handled the crowd and kept everyone safe.
If I could rate zero I would. Don’t waste your money!

1.00If I could rate zero I would. Don’t waste your money! When the lift arrived he only had 2 people that he thought he was picking up and it was 4, we all squeezed into the car and once the guide got it they folded down seats in the boot. We left 30 minutes before schedule to beat the traffic but once we arrived we were left waiting hours. The guide tried her best and got us breakfast but then said let’s go and see a temple first. We did that then came back to the lillies and was left waiting again a very long time. The electrics then went and we had already been waiting hours and it meant we would have to wait more hours. This then caused us to not have photo shoot with Lillie’s we then went to another temple. The guide gave us money for the photo shoot which was 2600 baht between 4 of us.. we had paid £136 uk pound for this trip so basically paid £136 each to see 2 temples when it advertised for 3, we didn’t do lillies and the ‘gesture of good will’ was the photo money. When we realised the cost of the photo money we realised what a rip off the entire trip is. I would not recommend this to anyone - if you want to do it, do it yourself and not through this tour.
Very good morning spent

5.00The water Lilly experience was a good morning spent, our tour guide Anny was fantastic very knowledgable and very friendly. Made sure our drone pics were not rushed and we have some great memories from the day. We went on to theee separate temples as Anny was very good at explaining the tradition of the monks. Would defo recommend this trip with Anny if you can get her as your tour guide. Thank you
Memorable holiday

5.00Hanoo was our tour guide for this private tour and we are so grateful. From the time he picked us up, he shared his knowledge of Thailand and its customs. The highlight of the tour was the lily pads and temples. These are memories we will cherish. We love Thailand and its people.
