Review of Phuket’s six-hour city tour with viewpoints, Wat Chalong, elephant feeding, Khao Rang Hill, and Old Town night market.
“No stress, chilled and nice information from guide. The elegant feeding was nice also see the Temple with the monks. Yeah overall the hole journey was nice.”
Review of Phuket’s $16 city tour, with Old Town, temples, viewpoints, Sunday market, transport details, drawbacks, and booking advice.
“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.”
