What are people saying about Big Buddha Phuket

Phuket City Tour with Wat Chalong, Big Buddha & Famous Viewpoints

Will_T, Apr 2026

Worth it!

Our tour guide, Daisy, was excellent and extremely well informed while also providing enough freedom for exploration. We were able to see multiple sites but without the entire day being taken up. We opted for the 8am start time and were home by 1pm in time for lunch and the rest of the day to relax!
