half day tour is amazing to cover the spots that I wish to go - which transport can be complicated. Tour guide is friendly and take care of us, even borrow the shawls for covering shoulder and knee for Buddha visit. Recommend the ATV to mountain top city view. Each spot staying 30 mins is enough, though old town can be spending more time.

Had an amazing experience on the Phuket Discovery Tour thanks to our wonderful guide Annie! She made the whole half-day trip so enjoyable — from Chalong Temple and the Big Buddha to Phuket Old Town and Khao Rang Viewpoint. Her explanations were clear, interesting, and full of fun facts, and she was super friendly and attentive the entire time. Annie also helped us get the best photo spots and answered all our questions patiently. The hotel pickup and drop-off were smooth and comfortable. Highly recommend this tour, especially with Annie as your guide. Will definitely book again!

We went ziplining again and again, constantly climbing up to the next level to play. We did it many times! The ATVs were very easy to control (not the super large, clunky kind). The scenery along the way wasn't particularly impressive, and there were a lot of people, but the great thing was that the instructors for both activities proactively helped us take photos and even videos, and they took really good ones! So we had a lot of fun!

It was a busy and fun day. Be prepared for a sales pitch at Gems Gallery, but it's still a good stop. Also dress appropriately for visiting temples (no tank tops, shorts). Our guide was very personable and kept things moving at the right pace.

Robertson Mall 2nd Floor Open-Air Parking is free. "Ambiance" type (suitable for customers who prioritize relaxation). "The environment is full of Southeast Asian charm, with a comforting lemongrass scent upon entering, very relaxing. The massage area has soft lighting and gentle music, making it so comfortable I almost fell asleep. The therapist's technique was gentle and meticulous, with appropriate pressure. After the session, all my fatigue was gone, and my mind and body felt completely healed."
