We used I Asia Thailand (we used them last year) and we rented a van with guide Woody and driver. We requested Woody after good comments and feedback. We did a 8 hour day trip and they were punctual, dressed well, excellent English and very informative. We started from Patong and made our way north before stopping for lunch and then east road back to the south to the many view points. The van was clean with great aircon and wifi!!!. We also had our own hand sanitiser and also wipes throughout the day. I would suggest and recommend I Asia Thailand to any family and friends. We would happily use their services again!

this tour is amazing, I never saw fishes this beautiful and sands this white, but not everything is perfect. The breakfast is good and with a lot of options, but the lunch is almost all spicy, so ask for a non spicy option and the dinner is ok. I would've like to stay more on the beaches, because in one you have lunch time 30 min, in the other 1 hour, but 30min are going in climbing up a rock and wait to take pictures. One maybe not so small thing is that some fishes are dangerous there, there is this one called titan trigger fish that if you step near his nest can get very aggressive and bite you a lot. We discovered it only when we came back to the hotel because no one told us, so if you see it don't get too close!

After initially looking forward to our day trip, we soon realised that it would not be a professional service! After going in a mini bus with people who ordered different packages, so we had to wait around at the elephant area whilst others sat on the elephants for a small trek around the base, then they had the 5 year old baby elephant preform a show and all elephants were classed as dangerous. All of them then were chained up against a tree with no freedom and what also looked like not a balanced diet provided, as I have been to 3 elephant sanctuary’s which take good care of the elephants as they are all rescued. Then we did the “ATV in the mountains that was suitable for a 5 year old as we just went around a circuit a few times. That was no fun at all, then we come to the zip lining that wasn’t in our package so we had to sit around again and watch others zip line from one tree to another no further than 30m away from each other above the car park. we then got ready for the water rafting and we had to “sit back and enjoy the journey” as we did not get paddles and we just sat holding onto the boat through the river which was advertised at 5km, (not sure how far it was) for the extra 2km they wanted 400baht per person. Which we said no and returned back to the base and we were rudely asked to give the Thai boat people a tip which I didn’t give as it felt forced and I wasn’t enjoying my day. I am not sat eating the lunch which is just some rice each and then we share some small portions of food between the 4 of us. I think now we are heading to the waterfall or monkey cave and to be honest I am ready to just go back to our hotel in Patong which is about a 2hr journey back. I would not advise anyone to come on this tour as there is no enjoyment from the whole day and especially from the Russian tour guide that Just wants an early finish. Waste of money, and I also think some reviews are fake.
