Private tours are the best, and this one really stands out. Tommy is a wonderful and knowledgeable guide

What a amazing experience! Our guide Tommy made sure everything was according to our plan (and made sure beforehand that the plan is according to our liking... 😊) and that we don't miss a thing. A private tour is always the best way to experience things in your own pace (it only takes one annoying person to ruin a group tour for everyone else) and therefore it is well worth the price. I was a bit reluctant to go on the canoe at first, but was talked into doing so regardless, and I'm so glad I did, as it really was thd best part of the day! We managed to see everything we wanted to see. The Pang Nga trip is simply breathtaking (and believe me when I say that the James Bond island is just a small part of the whole experience and should not be your main focus) and finishing it with a delicious lunch at Koh Panyi village was a great way to conclude a wonderful day. If you're in Phuket and fell like having a really great day trip - don't go cheap, most of you are probably only here once... Book this private tour. You'll thank me later πŸ˜‰
