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.

Review of Phuket’s 6-hour city tour with viewpoints, Wat Chalong, elephant feeding, Khao Rang Hill, and Old Town night market.

“The trip was amazing, our guide and driver were absolutely fantastic, from taking photos for us to telling us stories about the places we visited they could not be more helpful and kind. The elephant sanctuary crew were fantastic too and they did their best to help us overcome any possible fears when feeding and interacting with the elephants. All in all a complete and round trip with lots of entertainment and laughs.”

7.Phuket City Tour & Scenic Viewpoints / Night Market

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 43 reviews · 5 - 6 hours · from $16Best value

Review of Phuket’s $16 city tour, with Old Town, temples, viewpoints, the Sunday market, transport details, and time-saving tips.

“Wouldn’t recommend this trip. While you do see some cultural sites and temples, the tour includes mandatory stops at a honey shop and a cashew shop, which aren't mentioned in the itinerary. Although mildly interesting, these stops felt like a waste of time. As a result, there’s less than an hour at the night market, which isn’t enough to properly explore. That time would have been much better spent at the market or the temples (the main reason we booked this tour). If you have no other way to get around Phuket, this tour might be useful, but otherwise you’re better off saving your time and using Grab.”
