June is amazing! - We did a wonderful half day tour with June as our guide. The tour came included with a package holiday we booked and we would not have ordinarily booked the tour. June was well spoken and had a lot knowledge about his home town of Phuket. He treated us all to his favourite dish Mango Sticky rice when we all admitted we hadn’t tried it yet. Was a great way to see the cultural side of Phuket and we were very happy with June and the tour.

Great tour of Phuket with the best guide and driver. - June our tour guide and Oh our driver were brilliant. . Oh was a very safe driver with a very clean and well presented van. June was punctual, very pleasant and informative. He tailored our day to suit us. June is funny and knowledgeable. We learnt so much from June about Thai culture and Phuket. We highly recommend them both for a tour of Phuket.

Great Phuket experience - We had a great tour. ‘O’ our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and helpful.
The driver Chandee, was very good also. However the condition of one of the seats was very poor and quite dangerous for a passenger sitting there or behind it.
Not a good impression for safety.
However the tour was great. The views spectacular, temples and big Buddha magnificent and an interesting walk in old Phuket and Cashew factory.
I would add that as foreigners we stay away from any vegetable or fruit that might have been washed in water so the springs rolls with a green leafy vegetable we chose not to eat. Mango sticky rice delicious. Recommend this guide and tour.

Interesting - The sites we visited were very interesting. The guide was very pleasant & entertaining. It was difficult to understand her though due to her local accent.

The Tourist Trap. No quality. A blatant robbery. - An 8-seater van picked us up at the hotel.
We drove another 30 minutes to catch the remaining people.
1. We were taken to a viewpoint for photos.
2. Next we went to see the Big Buddha. Place full of tourists. With excellent views of relative interest for non-Buddhists.
3. Then we were taken to a cashew factory with the intention of selling us cashews. Without any interest.
4. We went to a Buddhist temple. Here too the explanation was very poor.
5 Finally, the old town of Phuket, full of tourist shops and restaurants and bars.
The guide spoke very poor English and explained very little. We spent more time in the old van without shock absorbers, traveling along roads in very bad conditions and with a lot of traffic.
In summary: A bad experience, without quality, is not worth the €45, not even close or far away.
