Unique opportunity to be shown around by a local, like a local - Absolutely amazing experience! Nim was a lot of fun, and made us all feel welcome right away with her quirky humour. We visited a temple, fed monkeys by the roadside, then went to the Sunday markets in Old Phuket. Nim bought us street food to taste, showed us around the market and let us do our own shopping for an hour or so. I told her I was interested in the architecture and history so she told me about all the significant buildings we passed. After the market, the group went to dinner at a restaurant high up in the hills with panoramic views. As a solo traveller, I had a great time meeting the other participants too, and we all appreciated Nim’s guidance and fun spirit. The organisers communicated via WhatsApp to arrange transfer to/from my hotel… it was all seamless. Best part of my trip! Thanks xx

Fabulous - Right from meeting Nim this was a fun and informative tour. Everything was great, but wear socks when you visit the Reclining Buddha. I loved the food tasting in the market, walking through Old Phuket and the dinner topped off a great afternoon.

We have been to Phuket many many... - <p>We have been to Phuket many many times so was looking for something different to do. Our guide Nuya drove 5 of us to a temple on a hill with amazing views of Phuket. Following that we went to an area where monkeys live in the mangroves where there's a small area across from those mangroves the monkeys will come to so the public can feed them. We then went to a 24 hour fruit and vegie market where our guide told us about the different types of foods and bought quite a few different things for all of us to try. We then did a walking tour of Phuket town and ended up in a very large street market with the road closed so there were heaps of stalls selling all types of things.We had about 45 minutes free time to explore the market. Our guide bought a couple of other foods for us to try. After walking back to the car we were then driven up to a very high hill or mountain with a Restaurant with beautiful views of eastern Phuket. We then had a 3 course meal with a drink. All this was included in the price. I am so pleased I did this tour. It's great value and I highly recommend it.</p>
