Fantastic Guide - Our tour guide, Nurse, was wonderful. She was accommodating of our needs, took us to great places to try some Thai foods we had not eaten yet and shared her vast knowledge of the locations we visited. We loved the distillery, Big Buddha, and Old Town. The tour was perfect!

Love This Tour - We recently went on the phuket city tour with the rum distillery tour and it was one of the best experiences we've ever had. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, and gave us a great insight into the city's history and culture. The rum tasting was especially good, as we got to sample some of the finest rums from local distilleries. Highly recommend this tour!

Tedd being from the area makes the experience feel very authentic loved loved old town Phuket & paying respect at the big Buddha🙏 not to mention lunch with a view & what a way to finish off with a rum tasting in a gorgeous setting!

Rum distillery - A fun tour from start to finish our tour guide sue and our driver mr pan were very informative on the local history present and past the views of karon and Kata beaches were magnificent as was the big Buddha after we climbed all those stairs and the temple we visited was also very beautiful and rich in history. We then went on a walking tour of old Phuket and sampled some crispy pancakes off a street vendor which were yummy. Our last stop and my favourite was chalon rum distillery where we had a tour of the distillery with a rundown of its history and how rum is made then we got to sample 7 different types of rum and then we bought some as well of course so all in all I would recommend this tour as a fun and informative tour of Phuket city and the rum distillery
