        Avarage tour, worked as promised, but not outstanding.
        Tour was quite standard, everything worked ok. The guide was good with her local attraction knowledge and English skills. The driver didn't speak a word of English. Admission fees don't exist in any places (promoted as paid) and the extra fee 20 bht is not covered in case you want to go up to view point af grandfather / grandmother rocks. It's not about the money, but principle. You will see all attractions as promised and AC equipped van was ok as well.

        Experience in Bangkok
        Great tour during my stay in Bangkok. I have never met a more informative person than my tour guide, she knew all the history and was able to answer all my question. I did the private tour of all the temples, including the Grand Palace + Canal Tour.

        I want to start by saying our Guide, Pat was 10/10 incredible! The tour was great exactly what we wanted. The only issue is it was SO expensive. We paid $400 USD for 4 hours.

        Don’t eat before you go!
        We booked the cooking class ourselves and did the transfer to and from the class via taxis which were ver inexpensive. The class was great, all the dishes were lovely and Jenny was very knowledgeable and happy to show us ingredients we don’t really have at home. We cooked about 8 things and after that e cooked each course we sat with another couple and ate them all! It was about £120 for 3 of us but worth every penny and you don’t have to eat when you go back to the hotel. I would definitely recommend this activity.

        Highly recommend this half day tour and tour guide Oh.
        Visited Bangkok recently & had a pleasant experience. Not sure whom to trust for my tour, I booked it through TripAdvisor my trusted advisor. The tour was expensive, but excellent. I was surprised to get a five star treatment. I got a big black SUV, with a nice driver and superb tour guide named Oh. She had excellent knowledge, provided succinct info about the 3 temples I visited along with Grand palace. Both driver and tour guide were professional but friendly. When I asked recommendation around good Thai veg restaurants, they both searched a lot on google to find one along the way. It’s difficult to find veg Thai restaurants 😀 in Bangkok. I liked the hospitality, professionalism, friendliness, knowledge of local Markets temples, palaces. It was pleasant tour and I highly recommend this tour and specially guide “Oh” to everyone visiting Bangkok. I did the private tour. There are options for joint tour as well well.

        My real review
        Tour guide was honestly the highlight for me…. Hilarious and very knowledgeable. Temples were nice. But if u don’t want a guide and want to do it cheaper best to just grab a grab taxi and take u to each temple especially if ur in a group would be way cheaper.

        Great experience, would definitely recommend.
        Panu was an excellent tour guide who went above and beyond our expectations to make the experience special for us. This tour was a great way to see the temples and Grand Palace with someone who can explain the history behind it, and our favourite part was the canal tour - what a unique way to explore Bangkok!

        Never again.
        Horrible. Driver was late and at the wrong terminal. When contacted, staff was rude and talked down to me. They also seem to only have mini buses, even for 1 person transport, be prepared to sit in an uncomfortable mini bus. Took 1.5hrs for a 1hr trip, plus waiting time, took me more than 2hrs to reach my destination.

        It was amazing. One of the best attractions I have ever seen. The detail and expertise required to build such a structure in a relatively short time frame is incredible. It's a must see!

        All the sights
        I did a solo tour with boat ride and the palace. The tour was efficient, did exactly what it said and takes all the stress away from trying to figure it out alone. My guide Nina was full of information. I would recommend doing this tour to anybody who wants to get all the sights in during a short trip to Bangkok.

      Truly disappointing. We were out of area and agreed to a transfer fee which we were happy to pay. We were unaware however that we would have to endure a 2 hour crawl picking people up prior and feel this should of been communicated at the start so we could of easily arranged alternative transport by taxi . We did so on the return to avoid enduring the same torture at our own expense despite paying for a return with the tour. The 560 bahts in a taxi was money well spent . The journey time being 30 minutes. The tour involved being taken to a number of view points to take photos for 10 minutes and was frankly rushed and underwhelming. The transfer to visit the Big Buddha and temple was worthwhile. The final stop in Phuket town was equally uninspiring and the tour rep made some rapid suggestions for eateries but no firm direction and coupled this with a comment that we had 40 minutes to get something to eat but advised before ordering anything that we clarified the cooking time with the restaurant as they would not wait for us. Rather a considerable challenge to eat lunch and shop within 40 minutes in a place you are unfamiliar with. Personally I would recommend you get a private driver and do your own tour . Two days earlier I had made such an arrangement in Phuket with a limousine driver through our hotel for 3 hours costing 1600 baht for 2 of us. In summary wouldn’t recommend this tour - stay on your sunbed

      Dear Sir/Madam, Thanks for your kind suggestion but you are just putting in a wrong tours location, let me clarify 1. We just pick up people from only three to four location that also in patong and karon which can not take 2 hours - our maximum pick time is 30-40 minutes 2. Our all viewpoints stop over time is 30 minutes minimum - you have written 10 minutes and our guide help you to take picture which is exactly not our tours. 3. Our final stop is a famous local restaurant where food cost you 30-50 thai baht per plate and this local restaurant is quite famous in thailand. we do not include this time for our tours as we understand our customer may be hungry and they need some local recommendation. we defiantly recommend all this things Last whatever place is written in our itinerary took 5 hours and you can not go in 3 hours as we run in 3 times a day and we know the exact time. Please do not write a wrong review for a popular tour and also do not misguide other traveller with wrong information what you may have somewhere else.

      We booked this tour online, 2 days after arriving in Phuket. The booking process was very intuitive and straight forward, the email confirmation was received minutes after the payment was processed and someone contacted us after a couple of hours to organize pickup from hotel.
      In the morning of the excursion, a minivan collected us from the hotel (we paid 200THB pp extra as we were in Surin) and went around the nearby resorts to collect the rest of the people, including our guide - Kim.
      The drive between the attraction points was comfortable, the time allocated to each was sufficient and Kim was both informative and extremely entertaining.
      I highly recommend this tour to everyone.

      We could see the top sights of Phuket in a well organized tour for a very reasonable price (one way ride to Big Buddha with Grab).
      Our tour guide Daisy was really helpful taking photos of us and recommending a good restaurant in Old Town. Time is enough most of the time, maybe we could spend 30 minutes more in Old Town (but at least it was included in the trip - not all of the options offer Old Town visit as well in a half day tour).

      See all the landmarks in one day without spending too much time at any specific one. We didn’t feel rushed, it was perfect. Good value for money. The guide was super friendly. Would recommend staying behind at Old Phuket Town at the end as it is really vibrant at night with a bit of a hipster scene going on. If doing the tour on the weekend you can end the night at the Weekend Markets for a 200 baht taxi ride.

      Booked this trip as part of a 2200 THB package which also included James Bond Island by long tail boat and Phi Phi Don by speedboat.
      We took on a number of sites in a half day tour. The Big Buddha vista was worth the ticket price alone. Views from miles around really showed the beauty of Phuket.
      The stopover at the old town was good to see and the beach vista view too really good.
      The visit to the bee factory and the cashew nut factory less impressive and a tourist trap. The stop at the Jewellery shop too was another shopping excuse.
      Other than that I was happy to spend half a day in a bus full of strangers, listening to the Greek guys was funny and the German couple too found the shopping element slightly unnecessary.

      The tour location visits were fine, as what was expected, but the problem was with our tour guide. After being picked up from our hotel, we drove to the pick-up point to collect the guide. She hopped in the car and turned on her phone and did not acknowledge us for 10 min while she was responding on Facebook or instagram (from a previous job most likely)!
      Once done, she finally started speaking to us and unfortunately her Thai accent was so strong we could hardly understand her English. When we asked questions she just gave an awkward smile or silly laugh, which confirmed to us her English was poor.
      This tour was rushed and we felt like the guide was hurrying everything to get to her next gig. I also noticed between location sites, she had taken photos for us using her phone and ours, and preceded to upload pics of us on her instagram or Facebook without our knowledge or consent in the car while driving to the next site. I asked her what she is doing with photos of us, but we could not understand her response!
      This guide was appalling and should be de-registered ASAP. We don’t know her name because she did not tell us. I would seriously reconsider booking with this group unless they guarantee the guide can converse and act professionally in your chosen language. We would like to claim a part refund - as this is the worst unprofessional tour we have EVER been on!

      Great city tour while in Phuket Thailand and taking in a trip to the Big Buddha. Arrived there in the midst of a rain storm which soon passed. Beautiful place and the work is still ongoing and they hope to complete it within the next few years. Well worth a visit while you are in holiday. Full city tour cost 1300 baht each but don't spend any more than 600 baht each. Which is approx £15 each.

      THIS IS NOT A TOUR. This is a shared taxi service with a brief/vague intro as we pulled up to each stop.

      All of the English speaking passengers struggled to understand Daisy (she was lovely and friendly, as most Thai are, but her English was poor), the non-native English speaking passengers didn’t engage with Daisy at all.

      The first 90 mins is spent picking everyone up.

      The only stop that wasn’t rushed was the visit to the cashew factory (not listed as a scheduled stop on the itinerary). The factory clearly pays tour companies to send business their way (the carpark was rammed). They even sticker you up as you walk in to make it easier for them to allocate commission.

      We didn’t learn anything about the island. The look out points were no more impressive than the view from our hotel balcony. Absolute waste of an afternoon.

      When told we only had 30 minutes to experience the whole of Phuket Old Town (after spending longer than that at the nut factory) we let Daisy know that we we’d make our own way back to our hotel in Kamala.

      It would’ve been faster/easier/more enjoyable to hire a driver for the day. At least then we would’ve been able to go at our own pace (skip the cashew factory), have our own space, and not have to listen to Bruno Mars on repeat for 4 hours.

      Please don’t waste your holiday. Hire a local driver.

      This is a well organized, very communicative, punctual, informative and most especially entertaining tour I've ever booked. As we live quite far from the city center, the tour operator called me 5 minutes after booking at my hotel, to inform me of when and where we meet. They were also punctual in pick up and very courteous. Our guide, Kim told us all the important facts we need to know about Phuket and Bangkok. In between, he showed us videos on the original name of Bangkok in a song and the most famous children song, the "Chang Chang song" which, by the way always rings in my ear up to now. I would highly recommend this tour. Thank you.

      We really enjoyed this tour. Our tour guide was absolutely outstanding, very cheerful, gave a good amount of information about the destinations we were visiting in the bus, and was always offering to take photos of us. The tour itself was very well planned, we enjoyed all of the destinations visited and felt like a good amount of time was spent at each. Unlike many of the city tours on offer, this one doesn't visit anywhere unethical and it doesn't stop at all the jewel shops, food factories etc to try and sell you stuff. It was a great way to get around and see the sights in Phuket.
