Exceptional

Our tour of the Big Buddha Phuket, Wat Chalong and the scenic viewpoints around Phuket was such a beautiful experience. Daisy was absolutely exceptional. Her knowledge of Thai history, culture, and local traditions made every stop so much more meaningful and interesting. What I appreciated most was how well she read the group and created such a calm, relaxed atmosphere. As an introvert, I often find tours overwhelming, but this one never felt rushed or exhausting. Daisy knew exactly when we needed time to slow down, take in the views, and simply enjoy the moment. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a more genuine, thoughtful, and enjoyable way to experience Phuket.

Don't take you for big Buddha. Only show you it from far away

The name and big Buddha, but it won't. Just going to a couple of viewers of the city, wasting a while trying to sell local honey at the price of Europe. Short time to visit the center of Bangkok.

Could have gotten five stars

Everything was perfect including a wonderful guide. But it did not say in the description that due to landslides you have not been able to visit "big Budha" in six months. They should have been able to adjust that in the description.

They don’t visit the Great Budha!!

They put the Great Budha in the promotion of the tour, but it is not included in the tour. Not worth it!!

Short and nice tour

Nice small tour. Visiting the main historical and monumental points in Pukhet. Totally worthy for one day, although it may require more time in pukhet town…Tazi was very engaged and showed us almost everything…
