We did a Bangkok temple tour and visit to bridge over the river Kwai. Pete was our tour guide and he is exceptional at what he does. He is very well known within the trade and if you’re with Pete you are a VIP. Kom was our driver and shuttled is to and from airport and our adventures! He is a great driver I would not want to drive there!

Best purchase for anyone looking to explore Bankgok to its maximum!! Not only were we able to visit most landmarks of Bangkok, but also appreciated the professionalism of their customer service from helping plan my days before we flew to Bangkok to assisting me whilst in Bangkok whenever an issue arised. They are very responsive, useful and able to accommodate you depending on your request. First time in Thailand and this card allowed us to do all this : Muyai thai live game ; Explore and taste michelin recognised street food locations at night with a knowledgeable guide ( chinatown evening food crawl) ; Visit the famous Damnoen saduak market (+ we saw elephants near by ) ; Body tune massages for 4hrs straight ( best way to end your holidays imo) ; visit the Siam museum ; participate in a 3hrs cooking class with Silom cooking school ( the chef is so entertaining and knew how to keep us engaged throughout the session. Best cooking class I have been to + you get a recipe book at the end with another mini gift ) ; to finish our trip on a high we also used the card to book a nice evening on the white orchid river cruise for a lovely buffet, some life music to explore Chao Praya river at night. This was definitely the highlight of our trip and I can guarantee that we will be using more of this iventurecard for our next trips. Thank you again team. G + A

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!

This five and a half hour tour brings you to the top attractions around Phuket Island including the magnificent Big Buddha. Choose from a Morning Tour which has you winding along Phuket’s southern shoreline, marvelling at white sands, lush tropical flora and the unique vibe of Patong, Karon, Kata and Rawai beaches. The photo opportunities will be particularly fantastic from two viewpoints and other stops at Wat Chalong Temple, The Big Buddha plus a cashew nut factory and the world's biggest gem store. You'll also drive through Phuket Old Town to see old Sino-Portuguese buildings. Should you choose the Afternoon Tour, the focus is on the Phuket Old Town component as it is a Walking Tour. Stops are made at the cashew nut factory, The Big Buddha and Wat Chalong. Promthep Cape, Phuket's southern-most tip, is the last place you'll stop at where you will be mesmerised by the striking sunset (weather permitting). The Shared Afternoon tour operates Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays only.

We booked this full day van with guide we were warmly welcomed by Woody our guide. He along with driver reached on time for pickup from hotel and we felt welcomed and with such a friendly atmosphere we had a fantastic start! The guide and tour was extremely good, very flexible (appreciate this!) and for that he deserves a special thanks. We had great days there, which obviously also added up to the experience. Woody is such a warm personality and highly motivated guide (recommendable!). The atmosphere is so special that it really felt like home to all of us. All respect for Woody who does a great job there; a true sample of excellent tour guide.

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!

The following is our tour itinerary, our guide and driver can alter the order of the visit without prior notice, if deem appropriate (hotel location, special road block, everyone gets hungry, etc.) but we always finish at the rum distillery : – Promthep Cape – The Big Buddha – Chalong Temple – Phuket Old Town walk-tour – Rang hill viewpoint – Local rum distillery tour We will stop for lunch break at a local restaurant with beautiful bay view (and clean restroom) Lunch will be at your own expense but the mojito is on us ;)

Good morning, We decided to go for this tour last minute and the agency was really responsive and the tour perfectly organised. It was booked in a blink of eye ! Tour starts really early (we were picked-up at 04:30 at out hotel) but it is worth it. It all starts with a small clim (15/20min) to a viewpoint on the Phang Nga bay. The sunrise here is just stunning. After a breakfast, we then went to board the long tail boat in a fishermen village and made a good tour around the bay with stops at the famous James Bond Island (almost alone), a nice cave and finally a stop in the Mangrove. We also made a 20 min kayak tour on one of the island. Our guide Mr Tai, and our driver Mr Aud took care of us very well and showed us one of or maybe the nicest bay in Thaïland. Moreover we were only two on that day so it was like a private tour. The lunch food was tasty and served in a nice looking place. We then went back to our hotel to catch our flight back home. Thank you again for making our last day in Thaïland one of the best one. Anthony and Audrey

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.
