Amazing experience. Pickup was slightly delayed. Tour guide was awesome. Pickup was slightly delayed - but guide was in touch. Karen view point and Chalong temple was really nice. Not so enjoyed the bee factory. And you will miss if you don't see the old town - though 1 hour is not enough.

The driver and guide were very cheerful. We were able to visit all the important spots in about half a day and it was fun without getting tired. It was a great tour for the exceptional price. I've been to Phuket many times, but this was my first time touring the island! Even if you don't have much time, you can enjoy a lot in half a day.
