Our guide, Sugar, was absolutely fantastic, so friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the history and culture with us. He made the whole experience feel personal and fun, not just like a standard tour. We learned so much while still having a great time. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you get Sugar as your guide!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,103 reviews · from $21

Phuket’s budget half-day tour visits Wat Chalong, Big Buddha, Old Town, and Khao Rang Hill, with hotel pickup and a possible gem-store stop.

“It was not a great tour. They were late with the pick up. Messaged that they’ll be 10 min later, showed up 45 min after the original time. The guide, while very well meaning, spoke very poor English - practically impossible to understand. The first two stops were interesting, but then together with the friends I had made the previous day who happened to be on this one too we decided that we won’t continue the tour at the Old Town. We weren’t being explained much, and it was easier to look up things on our own. And we’re only given an hour there, which wasn’t nearly enough time to…”

He was very cordial, took time and effort to describe or explain each landmark, and was generous with supplying tips and suggestions for what to do while in Phuket. Having been to university in Bangkok, his spoken English was at a high level.”

Review of Phuket’s 5 to 6-hour food and culture tour, with Old Town, Wat Chalong, Big Buddha, viewpoints, snacks, lunch, and hotel pickup.

“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 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…”

“The trip was more than what was advertised with our tour guide “Jackie Chan” making a huge effort, despite the heavy rain for the first couple of hours. The tour was well organised and adjusted to suit our group. We were a family of 6, with 2 younger children and grandparents and the trip catered to us all. Each stop had the perfect amount of time and we felt like we got a really good tour of the lower part of Phuket. We highly recommend this tour.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 43 reviews · 5 - 6 hours · from $16Best value

See Phuket Old Town, Wat Chalong, hilltop views, and Sunday Walking Street Market on a five to six hour guided tour.

“Wouldn’t recommend this trip. While you do see some cultural sites and temples, the tour includes mandatory stops at a honey shop and a cashew shop, which aren't mentioned in the itinerary. Although mildly interesting, these stops felt like a waste of time. As a result, there’s less than an hour at the night market, which isn’t enough to properly explore. That time would have been much better spent at the market or the temples (the main reason we booked this tour). If you have no other way to get around Phuket, this tour might be useful, but otherwise you’re better off saving your time and using Grab.”
