Funny day

4.00We had a great time on this private tour. Our guide Adhar (hope I’m spelling that correctly) was sooo funny and great!! We loved the karon viewpoint and the big Buddha. Please note this is a whole day trip (8.5 hours inc. transfers) not 5 hours as advertised. You only get bottle water. Drinks can be bought at sights. You are invited to attend a small cafe in old town which you pay extra for. We didn’t like that at the gem store they try pressure you to buy even though the prices are very very expensive. Nothing under £400. Also note, you don’t actually visit any of the beaches on this tour you can only see them from the viewpoint!
Great except for a hiccup

4.00We decided to eliminate from the itinerary the cashew factory and the cape on the south to shorten the tour but I told the guide I wanted to visit the Jui tui Chinese shrine, he took me to one and he said that was the jui tui I didn’t think it was as pretty as the ones I saw online. When I got to the ship I saw online that it was not the Jui tui temple but the Put Jaw shrine the oldest but more modest shrine. Because of this I have them 4 stars.
What a shame I can give only 5 STARS

5.00I just returned from a 10-day holiday in Phuket. On arrival I was greeted by ground staff and within minutes the private car arrived for the transport to the hotel in Patong. The next day I did meet Tipp the manager of the business to discuss the transport the previous day and any additional tours I was interested in. I had a minor complaint about the driver and the complaint was handled in a very professional manner by Tipp. I was interested in viewing several temples, statues and beaches at the southern end of Phuket and also Phuket Old Town (several famous movies, including "Good Morning Vietnam" were shot there). Whenever I did see something interesting the driver 'Pon' stopped the car to allow me to take photos. Pon was the best tour guide / driver I have ever had. He was full of knowledge about the island, beaches, history and Buddhism. Booking the car for myself certainly was worth paying a little extra. On my departure day the car arrived on time and took me to the airport without any incidents or delay. Thank you to Tipp and Pon for making my holiday in Phuket unforgettable. You deserve 5 stars and I will contact you when I plan my next trip to Thailand. fips52
