CANCELLATION POLICY

This operator does not disclose the estimate of the extra cost for pick up outside of the limited pick up locations even after you have provided them with your pick up location. They instead wait till after the 24 Hours cancellation windows has passed and the advise some ridiculous cost in my case 1000 Bht per person when other operators charge 100 -200 Bht for the same location.
They rather than accept this unethical behaviour, they do not provide any refund if once you find out the excessive transport cost and choose to cancel.
Shame on TripAdvisor for allow these terms from this operator to be part of there recommendation on there App.

We recently took a city tour and found the places we visited to be quite interesting and enriching. However, the traffic was less than ideal, causing us to spend more time on the road than necessary. Despite the delays, the tour was still a worthwhile experience, offering a glimpse into the city's attractions.

Our tour guide Dasiy was really nice and made the tour great. I recommend ending your tour at Old Town phuket so that you have more time to explore there and maybe even have lunch there cause its beautiful and there is a lot to see and shopping.

Transport is comfortable and very helpful tour guide but disappointed that we are only allowed 30 minutes in Phuket Old town.
My family had decided to stay at old town longer, so we ended up taking a taxi back to hotel
Perhaps, you should let tour stays longer at old town

A very worthwhile tour of Phuket’s most famed attractions. It is only a half day (5 hours) so there is plenty of time to do other things after/before. Daisy was my guide and she was very funny and knowledgeable. I enjoyed the tour and would recommend to others if you’re looking to see multiple landmarks.

The tour guide could not have cared less, which was disappointing as the places we visited were really great. The driving was dangerous and many on the tour were worried we would have an accident by the end of the trip. Recommend the sights on the tour, but not the tour itself. Disappointing.

Not very long stops where you're a bombarded of info which you can't absorb anyway
