Good overview of Pattaya - This half day tour gave a good overview of the island. Went to beautiful viewpoint and looked at lovely scenery. Gave us enough time for the 3 sites. Guide was very sweet and pleasant. Bus was comfortable. Loved Gems Gallery tour. Very interesting.

Experience of the half day tour was as expected - Firstly, the tour coordinator was quite good and was very co-operative. Our driver-cum-tour-guide Fanta was quite experienced. He spoke good English and had a good knowledge of each of the visiting places. Overall quite good experience except the heat.

Only for the naive - Better to give a baht bus driver B500 to take you to these places. You could have four for the price of B500.
Skip the gems museum this is just a ploy to expose you to a hard sell on overpriced gems.
There are no admission charges for these attractions so the “admission price included” does not apply.

Driver too late - Well the driver apparently didn't know we existed, till I made multiple phone calls. Well not much to see probably. We spent some time together roaming in the streets.

Really Poor - Things didn’t start well. Guide was 45 minutes late and didn’t give a good reason for her tardiness. She didn’t know which tour we had booked.
This was supposed to be a 4 hour guided tour.
Instead - it was 1 hour 15 minutes, and pretty much unguided. We would have learned the same if we had just taken a taxi to the points of interest.
For most of the time in the car the guide was on her phone talking to colleagues and other clients.
I would say that she spoke more on the phone than she did to us. Very unprofessional.
I have asked Viator to contact me to provide a full refund.
I’ve never posted a negative review on TripAdvisor previously. This was just SO bad. 😕
