Excellent service, made seeing the sights much easier. Tum was amazing, followed our itinerary and included some suggestions which we gladly did. His is English was good. Had water, wet wipes and a cooling towel on hand. Didn’t rush us. Highly recommend this tour and when I come back I’ll be requesting him.

A very lovely and informative tour around the island. The driver Tum took us to the main tourist destinations plus a cheeky elephant sanctuary detour.
We asked for more time in the Old Town for shopping. He happily waited for us. Lovely family guy who had great personality and gave us nuggets of information about all the areas we visited.

I took my children on a trip to see the Big Buddha, Wat Chalong, and Phuket Old Town.
The driver was fantastic. He arrived early and made sure he cleaned the windows of the vehicle. Once inside, we were given bottles of water and the driver confirmed with us where we wanted to visit.
Along the route, he pointed out places of interest and slowed or stopped for us to take photos.
At each of the places we visited, the driver gave us clear instructions regarding where he would wait for us.
We were kept with a good supply of water for the duration of the trip.
We would absolutely book this trip again and would highly recommend it.

We had Dole as our private driver for a 4 hour tour in Phuket, and he was fantastic! He was very accommodating and tailored the tour to our interests. Instead of only visiting the typical tourist spots, he took us to several beautiful hidden beaches that made our experience even more special. He was friendly, professional, and made the entire trip relaxing and enjoyable. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and flexible driver in Phuket, we highly recommend Dole!

Wonderful drive all around Phuket. Just husband and wife! Very nice van with air conditioning. Met our driver right outside after exiting the ship at the port. Exactly at the planned meeting time. Raz our driver/guide was great!! We got to see all of the major highlights with plenty of time visiting each one. Took awesome photos.
I got Thai currency THB out of the ATM which was great. The pick up charge was 500 ($15), I bought a gorgeous scarf at the Big Buddha for 200 ($6.00) and then gave a tip in the local currency for the 6 hour tour.
We had a beautiful day seeing Phuket. Very beautiful and very safe!!

Had a great private tour with Peter.
He even taught me a few Thai words.
Very kind and patient as I travelled with an infant, and tour was nice slow pace while seeing all on my list. Wat Chalong temple, Big Buddha, Phuket old town, and a scenic viewpoint for lunch.
Just to note if travelling with an infant - I was told fine to bring my own baby car seat, but I forgot to ask for a vehicle with 3 point seat belt to install my car seat! We had to workaround that and make do.
Highly recommend this tour!

Juan Carlos was amazing driver and lots of knowledge about the area! I had an amazing time.

I had a wonderful experience on this private customized Phuket tour. My driver, Dol, arrived right on time and was very friendly and helpful throughout the entire day. He shared great recommendations for restaurants, resorts, and places to visit around the island, which I really appreciated.
Dol was an excellent driver and even helped point out some of the best photo spots along the way. He made sure I always had water and was very attentive to make sure I was comfortable.
What I loved most about this tour was the flexibility. I was able to go exactly where I wanted and spend as much time as I liked at each stop without ever feeling rushed.
I would definitely recommend this private customized tour to anyone visiting Phuket.

This was a great experience with Rita, our driver. Unlike taking a regular tour, you get to pick your adventure and see what you want. We were able to stay as long as we wanted and add detours at things along the way. You also weren’t forced to stop at there gift shops to spend a good chunk of your time you paid for. Best way to see the island.

Our driver for the 6hrs was Chatana Kaewjinda. He was absolutely superb and his English was great. He was friendly and professional. We learnt a lot from him and thoroughly enjoyed our sightseeing and experiences he suggested. He even took us to a place where we bought a Mootkata (absolutely delighted..haha). We highly recommend this company and of course our lovely driver. Many thanks.
