Had such a fun time on this tour! We could not have done this ourselves, we got to visit some beautiful view points and take photos, visit a honey and cashew nut farm, see the Big Bhudda from a far but close enough to see a great view of it, see some monkeys, visit beautiful temples, feed the gentle giants at Phuket Elephant Care and visit Old Phuket Town. Definitely was a tour worth doing!

The performance is beautiful, integrating multiple elements, the costumes are gorgeous, and the performers are all beautiful! After the performance, you can also pay to take photos with the performers, which is worth arranging your itinerary.

We booked this private transfer to tour around Phuket old town and its vicinity. This gives us the flexibility on the attractions /restaurant we wanted to visit, as well as the time we wanted to spend in each without rushing. The driver was helpful and overall a great experience.
