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!

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.
3. Phuket: Amazing Phuket Island Tour with Big Buddha
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 4 reviews
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.

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!

It is free for Thai people. Why should foreigners pay 200 baht to enter a shopping mall. It is not a real floating market but made up for tourists.
