Phuket · BIG BUDDHA & TEMPLE TOURS

“We were very privileged and blessed to have Rita as our tour guide and King as our driver. We found them highly professional, knowledgeable, patient and extremely flexible, accomodating us throughout the tour. Rita even served as our photographer and absolutely nothing was too much trouble. The refreshments and the food was amazing. King was always there with his car picking us up and dropping us off and always had cold drinks on hand. They are amazing ambassadors for their country and we do hope we will cross paths with them again. They were absolute gems and a highlight of our visit to Phuket. Highly recommend this tour, it was…”

“This ATV tour was nice. My husband and I enjoyed ourselves. Our tour guide was very thoughtful and nice. We stopped and took pictures at beautiful high points on the mountain, overlooking the island of Phuket. The only disappointment, was the fact that we did not get to go to the Big Buddha, because it was closed and we paid for it. I’ve been told that it has been closed for a few months now, so I don’t think the tour should be advertised with a trip to the Big Buddha. Otherwise, everything else was enjoyable.”

“This tour was okay. I enjoyed the sites and the views a lot. However, I didn’t learn anything about Phuket. Our tour guide was extremely nice, but he did not share any history, he basically was just an escort to the different stops. Even when asked, you could tell he was young and wasn’t prepared to share anything. Each stop was extremely short as well. I recommend booking another tour if you want to actually learn something about the Phuket history and culture. You could likely just go visit these sites on your own as well. Highly recommend Old Phuket Town and the area with the temples. You can do…”
