“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Phuket City Tour – Sights, Tastes & Cultural Experience was the perfect way to see the highlights in just 5 hours. 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!”

Phuket City Tour & Scenic Viewpoints / Night Market

13.Phuket City Tour & Scenic Viewpoints / Night Market

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 43 reviews · 5 - 6 hours · from $16Best value

See Phuket beyond the beaches with an English-speaking guide, from Sino-Portuguese Old Town and Wat Chalong to Karon Viewpoint, Khao Rang Hill, and Sunday Walking Street Market. The 5 to 6 hour small-group trip costs $16, but check for shopping stops and pickup fees.

“Wouldn’t recommend this trip. While you do see some cultural sites and temples, the tour includes mandatory stops at a honey shop and a cashew shop, which aren't mentioned in the itinerary. Although mildly interesting, these stops felt like a waste of time. As a result, there’s less than an hour at the night market, which isn’t enough to properly explore. That time would have been much better spent at the market or the temples (the main reason we booked this tour). If you have no other way to get around Phuket, this tour might be useful, but otherwise you’re better off saving your time and using Grab.”

Spend about six hours tasting A-Pong, walking Phuket Old Town, eating Hokkien noodles, visiting Wat Chalong, and taking in Big Buddha and Windmill Viewpoint. Your English-speaking guide leads the day, with Arm named by one guest and driver T praised for thoughtful help in Old Town.

“The driver T was excellent and helped us across the busy roads in Phuket old town. The guide Arm was good and told us lots of interesting facts. The meal was a little disappointing considering it was supposed to be Michelin standard. Overall the experience was good.”
