We had an absolutely wonderful time with our private guide Woody and driver A. As we travelled with 2 kids, 9 & 7 - Woody rearranged the timings of the visits to accommodate the kids and spend longer where they enjoyed. The temple and big Buddha were my favourites and the views from the view points were incredible! We got to sample lots of cashews at the factory and was a lovely touch to the tour! We also got to spend an hour in Phuket old town which was beautiful and would love to re-visit on our trip!

Yo was a great guide. She spoke English well and was easy to communicate with. We were able to go to all the places and stayed longer or shorter wherever we wanted.

This was a great private tour for the two of us. Air con minibus. We had Woody as the guide and ‘A’ as the expert driver. Pick up at hotel and on time. Saw all places on the itinerary and given plenty of time for photos and to wander around. We learnt so much from Woody about the history of the island, Thai culture and about Buddhism (other religions mentioned also). Woody very open to questions. We didn’t want to go to the gem factory at the end so they took us into Old Phuket Town where we had an hour to wander round and get a drink/snack. They both looked after us. Bottle of cold water, cold flannel, paper for the toilet (toilet stops available at most of the stops). All in all a great few hours well spent and would highly recommend .
