“we had an excellent day. Balla our guide was awesome, he made our day interesting and so much fun, such an out going personality. he also helped take pictures of us at each viewpoint, going above and beyond what he needed to do so our guide. the viewpoints were beautiful, the elephants were friendly and gorgeous, getting up close to them, having our photos with them. unfortunately we didn't get much time at the night market but the time there was good, the food stalls there were so diverse, cooked in front of you, all meats and some fish you've never heard of, lol. a great day, dedefinitely worth the…”
Phuket City tour with Sino-Portuguese Old Town, Wat Chalong, Karon Viewpoint, Khao Rang Hill photo stops, and Sunday night market.
“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.”
Phuket’s 5-hour night market tour with hotel pickup, an English guide, and two markets for street food, shopping, and great local finds.
“Niets was leuk maar 2 markten waarvan 1 met 6 kraampjes. Wij hadden voor deze prijs meer verwacht ipv 5 uur zijn we 3 uurtjes weggewerst . Gids sprak slecht engels en begreep niet alles. Ik zal zeggen dat een compensatie van het totaal bedrag terecht zal zijn!”

“This was a fantastic experience. Ann, a Michelin chef, helped us make a true and authentic Thai meal. A real cultural experience.”
