Highly recommended. Can be done even for those with difficulty ambulating. Guide Bella and driver were very friendly. Both speak English. It was an extremely hot day and van was always cold even if it was parked under the sun. Unlimited cold bottled water was available in the van. Bella volunteers to take picturews everytime. We were disappointed at the Gem Gallery because we were not allowed to ride the mini tram to learn about gems. However really enjoyed seeing baby sharks in their aquarium. Highly recommended. We opted to have add on hotel transfer since price is ok and very convenient.

Bam Bam our guide was SO great! We were a big group of 9 with a big range of ages, Bam Bam was so patient, kind, extremely helpful, and always willing to help take pictures. The streets of Phuket are windy with lots of hills and bustling with scooters, our driver was the best driver of our entire stay. He was safe and cautious without being too slow. None of us got car sick. He was also very hospitable in allowing us to eat in his van. We enjoyed our tour, it was the most affordable way to see several destinations. If I could I would spend a little less time at the look out where you could see three beaches and a little less time at the temples, and add that time to shop at Old Town. I’d absolutely recommend the tour especially if you are short on time. We did the tour the day we were leaving since we had a red eye flight that night.
