Pick-up and drop-off were smooth, and lunch, snacks, and water were included. We enjoyed stunning views of the coastline and beaches, visited an amazing temple, and saw the Big Buddha (though due to a recent landslide, only from the side and at a distance). The hour in Phuket Old Town was a great addition. Our guide Anya’s energy, insights, and photo-taking made the day even better. A well-balanced, fun tour that truly captures the spirit of Phuket!”
