Good way to see Phuket island itself. Tour guide was informative, and the bus was very clean and cool! The half day was enough to take in the necessary sights.

It gave us a good idea of what to look for in Phuket - well worth the money.

Views of beaches were spectacular, tour guide very informative. Jewel factory I found a bit overpowering, staff following you round everywhere you went, pushing you to try jewelry on.

It was a nice small group, just 3 of us. But the tour guide was very hard to hear. Even sitting in the front row of the van I could barely hear her since she spoke so quietly. Also, would have liked to go into Phuket town to see the market areas. The jewelry store was not necessary. If someone hovers over me, that means I won't buy, which I did not. But it was nice to drive around to see a lot of different areas of Phuket.

We were staying on the north west coast of the island and it took ages before all passengers were collected, as all the sightseeing is on the south east side of the island. Better to go on half day safari.

It was worth doing to get an idea on where things are in Phuket. However the end of the tour was disappointing, they take you to a jewellery shop where you are forced to buy things. They say ok not to buy but it is very hard to get out of there otherwise.

The trip was OK, you saw some nice sights, but also got taken to places where you were on a "shopping tour" for nuts and also jewelery. I wanted to see the island, not gem stores.

Guide could have explained a little more about the sights on the way. Very good for the price though.

Probably better just jumping in a tuk tuk.

Guide was very friendly and informative. But this trip was spoiled by the visit to the Gem Factory. A salesperson is allocated to each visitor and follows you closely throughout trying to sell you stuff. I felt very uncomfortable and under pressure. It would have been a nice trip otherwise.
