Review of Phuket’s $31 full-day city tour, with temples, viewpoints, Old Town, cashew tasting, hotel pickup, and a night market stop.
“Bam Bam was an enthusiastic, up beat, proud local Phuket woman, who clearly enjoyed showing us her city. We went to a variety of different lookouts and saw monkeys eating fruit. At Wat Chalong, she gave the group the option exploring the site independently or giving an offering/prayer. We took the latter and she shared her understanding and taught us how do Buddhist prayers. She was intuitive - she allowed the group to follow her but also allowed time for go off individually or in small groups. Unfortunately due to the landslide we could not visit the Big Buddha, although it was visible in the distance from the lookouts and…”

Taste Cancun beyond the resorts with four taco stops, Mexican beer, churros, downtown sights, and roundtrip transport for $89.
“We had an awesome experience on this taco tour with Gib and Alex! Every restaurant we visited was authentic, and the food came out quickly. Gib was great at setting expectations before each stop, especially when it came to spice levels, which we really appreciated. Beyond the food, the conversations made the tour even better. We learned a lot about Mexican history, cuisine, and local culture, and it never felt rushed or scripted. By the end of the tour, we were completely stuffed. The churros at Parque de las Palapas were a perfect way to finish, and we loved having time to walk around the area afterward. Highly recommend this…”
