We booked this tour organised by Tour East, with Expedia. It was amazingly good value at less than £20 for two of us. We arranged it for the 2nd day of our 5 night stay in Phuket after arriving from Bangkok.
We were picked up early and visited Kata Beach, the viewpoint at Promthep and Wat Chalong. The tour also takes you to a cashew nut factory and gem factory where they expect you to make purchases.
The main disappointment was that the tour description states it goes to Patong Beach fir the first stop but we didn't go at all and also Phuket Old Town but because of the Sunday Market, we couldn't go. Two big things missed off. This didn't really matter to us as we later visited these places ourselves but other people, with limited time, should be aware.
Our tour guide, Lita, was lovely and very helpful. She looked after us very well.
I would definitely recommend this as a great way to familiarise yourself with Phuket Island.
