Fantastic 5.0
I went on the tour with tour guide Ellie and 6 other tour members...Ellie was very knowledgeable in the areas we visited as well the cashew nuts processing process. She even knows the best location for group photo... Awesome tour covering majority of must see places e.g. Big Buddha, Wat Chalong, old Phuket town... the scenery at Big Buddha is awesome and you can see the bay area

It was truly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Momo, our guide, was incredibly organised and friendly. Her communication and helpfulness made the whole trip a lot of fun. I highly recommend booking this tour; you won’t regret it.

A diverse array of activities to get a taste of phuket in air conditioned comfort. our driver and guide where lovely and helpful providing free cold water in the hot summer heat. My only question is the pickup fee, it seems the price is different from what is advertised on klook... Otherwise a good day out and really appreciate the drop off to Naka Market!

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!

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.

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.

loved this day trip, it was a real highlight to our holiday. we booked the elephants, quads and zip lining. we thought it was all in one location but it was two separate locations. this wasn’t an issue but just worth mentioning. the staff were super friendly and helpful in both locations. definitely worth doing and great value for money.
