Great day trip includes lots!

Published on Jan, 2025

Friendly tour guide and driver. Very well organised. Great tour with so many stops well worth money. Elephant sanctuary not very hands (ethical tour) on but great photo opportunities

Amazing one day tour with a mix of sights and culture!

Published on Jan, 2025

Great intinary and mix of activities to do in a day! Loved walking through Phuket old town and seeing all the colors and shops before trying some local food and drinks. Went on from there to a more cultural part with the elephant tour and sights. Ended the day with a spectacular view from Windmill viewpoint. We had a really nice day! ā¤ļø

Elephants in natural setting

Published on Dec, 2024

Being so close to the elephants was a memorable moment sharing feeding and bathing times. Plenty of photo opportunities

Great value to see most of Phuket

Published on Nov, 2024

Well organized trip! Double check to see that your hotel is in the pick up zones and make sure you have the viator app on your phone. You get email notifications for messages from the tour operator the day prior to your tour. To access messages,go to >contact operator. Anyway,this tour was well worth it! We were picked up from our hotel 10 min earlier than pick up time sp be ready. Also this was an all day tour hitting multiple cities so make sure you set aside a full day for this. We stopped at key areas and were driven all over Phuket! From Old Town,the southern most poing,up Karon and all the way back to Patong. There are drinks on the van(note your driver picks up everyone) and our guide provided authentic snacks. Was surprised by the lunch bc we were taken to a local streetfood spot in Old Town and we were able to choose our own dish. The guide was very knowledgeable and kind. I learned so much about the culture! Favorite part was the temple and Bukit elephant park. We had ample time to walk around and take photos at scenic spots. This tour was a good way to learn what area we'd like to come back to (patong is very touristy and it's much less hectic in the more local areas). Tour guide even gave tips on taking public transportation. Please tip your tour guide and your driver!!!

FABULOUS !

The driver and guide were fantastic. We particularly enjoyed the elephants. Free lunch was good and plenty of drinks, cold towels etc. Air conditioned van was great . Don't miss the sunset viewing,
