A day full of surprises and magic places
We had an amazing day, travelling round the south part of the island, enjoying stunning views and visiting beautiful places, learning a lot about the Thai culture! Our tour guide Jessie knows so much and she happily shared her knowledge and didn't leave a question unanswered. A well organised day trip, great people in the background putting the tour together... We certainly recommend this company!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your kind review. It was our pleasure to serve you. Your feedback means a lot to us, and we look forward to providing you with our best service again next time.

Great tour!
Fantastic day tour! We had a great day seeing the sights. The gem factory was a little weird but everything else was awesome. Our tour guide was so chatty, helpful and knowledgeable. He took wonderful care of us and made sure everything was great. The van was immaculate and the driver calm and safe. Definitely recommend.
Response from the operator: We are grateful for your feedback and thank you very much for your response.

Try another company
The driver was 1 hour late because he went to the wrong hotel. When he did show up, the first stop was to pick up the guide at the Gems Gallery, which they said was “a museum”; of course it was a ploy for us to buy jewelry. I was pretty upset by this time, and said I wanted to see the highlights of Phuket. Next stop was Old Town Phuket which was going to be another hour of shopping; I said 30 minutes only. If there were any historical sights in Old Town, we didn’t see them. The tour improved slightly with Wat Chalong, the big Buddha (closed because of a recent landslide), and Karon lookout. Would not recommend.

Great experience! Great guide! Truly a “private” tour that is well structured yet flexible to meet personal requests.
Great experience! From the first moment of meeting our guide and driver, there was a feeling of comfort and ease - like truly speaking with friends. The tour was well structured yet flexible enough to accommodate any modifications/wants from us as we went throughout the day; we also never felt rushed as we visited the various sights and locations. Our guide was not only very knowledgeable about the locations, but also just a nice person to be around! The driver was excellent as well! Probably one of the more safe and smooth rides I’ve experienced in Thailand. The price is very reasonable, especially with the fact that it is truly a “private” tour and no one other than your group will be combined with you.
Response from the operator: We are grateful for your feedback and thank you very much for your response.

Why this scores 48
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour: Phuket Highlights by Van and Licensed Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phuket.
How much does Private Tour: Phuket Highlights by Van and Licensed Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $9800 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Phuket usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Tour: Phuket Highlights by Van and Licensed Guide take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Phuket is not rushed.
Is Private Tour: Phuket Highlights by Van and Licensed Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Phuket, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tour: Phuket Highlights by Van and Licensed Guide?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Tour: Phuket Highlights by Van and Licensed Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour: Phuket Highlights by Van and Licensed Guide?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Phuket can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Phuket and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour: Phuket Highlights by Van and Licensed Guide start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Phuket within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Phuket?
+
On Outty we rank every Phuket experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Southern Flavors Phuket Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, James Bond Island by Big Boat w/ Sea Cave Canoeing and Lunch, Phang Nga Bay Canoeing & James Bond Island Tour from Phuket. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Phuket?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Phuket?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
