The transport was on time. The driver is an experienced and professional, thanks Mr. Dee!!! The trip plan is very convenient and brings you to a different points with amazing views, where you can take advantage of great memory pictures and videos. Our tour guide Desi provided a lot of information on Thailand and Phuket Ireland. Good knowledge of different cultures, residing on the island. All our questions were fully covered. Thank you, Desi. The Tour wasn’t tiring at all. Time passed by quickly and with joy!

We got picked up at the hotel lobby. They were a few mins early. It was a van with AC. Kim, the guide tour was very nice and funny. We stopped at Karin view point, big buddha, wat chalong, cashew factory and Phuket old town. There was a night market at the Phuket old town on that day (not sure if weekend only). There were lots of yummy street food and merchandises at the night market. We got dropped off at the hotel. It took around 5hrs total. One thing to recommend to the tour operators. It would have been nicer if bottled water was provided. Highly recommended the tour.
