I used them three times on my trip to Phuket. All three of the vehicles were newer, comfortable, and had great air conditioning. The drivers were all courteous and very helpful. I got to choose what I wanted to see, and they offered friendly suggestions. The drivers were punctual. The office sent me a text every day with the plate number of the car so I could identify my driver. I will definitely use them again. Tip: Google Translate on my phone helped communication in many places.
Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to know you enjoyed our Phuket private car and driver service. It’s great to hear our vehicles, drivers, punctual updates, and flexible sightseeing support made your trip comfortable. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again soon.
Account for traffic...request English capable driver...list your sites to visit beforehand.. Hopefully driver will inform you about each.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to know you appreciated the private driver service. We also value your suggestions regarding traffic planning, English communication, and preparing the sightseeing list in advance. Please note that this service is a private car with driver, not a guided tour, but we will continue improving communication and coordination to make the experience smoother for future guests.
If we had traveled to the places by taxi, we would have learned just as much. The driver was really just a driver.
Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Es tut uns leid, dass die Erfahrung nicht Ihren Erwartungen entsprach. Diese Tour ist als flexible private Fahrt mit Fahrer gedacht, nicht als geführte Tour. Trotzdem nehmen wir Ihren Hinweis ernst und werden unsere Kommunikation sowie Fahrer-Briefings verbessern, damit Gäste vorab klar wissen, was enthalten ist.
driver was polite didnt talk much ride itself was fine but something threw me off when we got in he asked where we wanted to go first we said big buddha he said okay then like 5 minutes later he made a phone call and handed the phone to us it was someone from the company saying we had to pay an extra 300 baht to go to big buddha because of the mountains that part felt off there was no mention anywhere during booking about extra charges for certain places we didnt mind paying more but it should have been said upfront especially since they advertise going to main tourist spots like big buddha it just felt unexpected and unprofessional
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear the driver was polite and the ride itself was comfortable. We are sorry to learn that you felt surprised by the reported extra charge for visiting Big Buddha. Please note that no such issue was raised with our team during the trip. Had we been contacted at that time, we would have checked this immediately with the driver and assisted on the spot. We always believe any additional charges, if applicable for a specific route or access point, must be explained clearly in advance and not come as an unexpected surprise to guests. We take your comments seriously, as transparency is very important to us. Please send us your booking details directly so we can review the matter internally with the concerned team and ensure this is handled properly. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to improve.
We had a wonderful experience!!! This was the absolute perfect way for us to see the sites we wanted to in the relaxed pace. The air condition car was lovely. Our tour guide was so patient as we took our time at The Temple, Big Buddha, The Jewelers and Monkey Hill. We felt safe and we are grateful for the time!

A driver not an english speaking guide takes you around without sharing any info. Nevertheless, it is efficient and convenient, and thanks to google translate we have communşcated. I forget my cap in the car, next day it was delivered to my hotel, special thanks to themgmt for prompt response.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about the DIY Phuket City Tour. You’re absolutely right to highlight the difference—this experience is designed as a private car with driver (not an English-speaking guide), so it focuses on flexibility, comfort, and getting around Phuket efficiently rather than providing detailed commentary. We’re glad Google Translate helped with communication and that the day felt convenient and time-saving. We’re especially happy to hear your cap was returned and delivered to your hotel the very next day. Thank you for acknowledging our team’s quick coordination—lost-and-found situations can be stressful, and we’re pleased we could resolve it promptly. We appreciate your support and hope to assist you again on your next Phuket visit!
It was good experience. Driver was good and punctual. He gave us on lots of different local site seeing options like honey and cashew farm but after we said no a few times to making stops the driver realized we just wanted to walk around old town. He communicated through Google Translate which was helpful.
Hi, thank you for sharing your experience with our DIY Phuket City Tour! We’re happy to hear your driver was punctual, helpful, and offered local sightseeing options like the honey and cashew farm. We also appreciate your feedback about preferring to focus only on Old Town—this tour is meant to be flexible, so guests can choose the stops they want (or skip them entirely). It’s great that once you shared your preference, the driver adjusted the plan so you could enjoy walking around Old Town at your own pace. Thanks again for traveling with us, and we’d love to welcome you back in Phuket for another easy, customized day out!
