Review of Phuket’s $21.20 shared city tour, covering Wat Chalong, Big Buddha, Old Town, Khao Rang Hill, transport, value, and drawbacks.
“We had a nice lady guide but overall I regretted booking this tour. For starters we were given a 30min window but we were waiting for 50mins in total. The small van was super hot. We were 6 in total. Our guide gave us information for the temple tour but we realised we could not do another 4 hours of stewing in a hot van. We left the tour after one stop. Given the last stop was to a diamond place over one hour away. Wouldn’t recommend. Better off to pay a driver to take you to the spots and would probably be more comfortable.”
