Great half day experience. Would recommend that you spend a bit more time in Phuket Town. You can easily organise a taxi when you are ready.

Our guide Daisy who was just lovely. The Big Buddha was my favourite part. Very serene at the top even with many people. You could meditate or have a blessing too (or both).

Great half day tour with friendly tour guide that taught us about the Thai history and culture throughout the 4 areas of the trip

Guide spoke English which was easy to understand. Very attentive and friendly.

The mini van was comfortable and driver drove safely. Given water on the trip.

We started at Karon view point, then the big budda, the temple and finished at Phuket town.

Our highlight was the big budda where we got to do a 7 minute meditation and get a blessing from the monks with a bracelet gift. There are monkeys there so avoid having food on you.
Optional donations and not pressured to buy anything.
Opportunity at the temple to buy food and drinks.

Would recommend if you want to see the city highlights in a few hours. Pick up at 8 and finished by 12.30.

The guide (Mauin) was super helpful and friendly, kept us informed every step of the way and made it a great experience.
We felt that there was a good amount of time at every stop to explore, but not so much that it dragged on all day.

Great price to see all the main attractions of Phuket (Karon Viewpoint, Big Buddha, Temple, Cashew Factory and Old Phuket Town).

The aircon in the car was a great bonus too!!
