We went mainly for the sightseeing locations (the Big Buddha observation deck, the Old Town, the temple). There are plenty of locations, which is nice, and the car is comfortable. There was a bit of pushy salesmanship at the locations, but that's to be expected in tourist areas. The guide shared lots of interesting facts about Phuket and Buddhism. As a shopping tour, it's a 5; as a sightseeing tour, it's a 4. We didn't spend quite enough time in the Old Town; it's essentially the only place where you can stroll around, sit, and have a bite to eat; 40 minutes isn't enough.

We enjoyed the tour. It just so happened to be our first. And it was our first time in Thailand. The guide, Ksenia, told us everything she could during the tour. Everything went great and was interesting. We have three more tours ahead. Maybe even four, if we can.
Everything was great, thank you very much!
Good evening 🫶🏻 Today we visited the Treasure Island overview tour! 🎉 Free, as a gift. We initially wanted to go to the overview tour for 1,000 baht per person, BUT it was missing the most important thing – the observation deck next to the Big Buddha, so we went shopping instead! The weather was not very good early in the morning, but we were determined. We are incredibly happy with our program, our guide Vladislav, his knowledge and the way he presented the information. We had an experience that will forever remain in our hearts. 🥰 I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Thailand for the first time. 🙌🏻 I'd like to point out that at all the shopping locations—the royal pharmacy, the snake farm, the latex—we were so interested and the local Russian-speaking staff provided so much information that it wasn't at all tiring, but rather interesting and educational. Overall, the snakes probably made the most vivid impression on me. 🐍 It was amazing! Tomorrow we're going with Ostrov to Phi Phi.
Sightseeing tour: Ksenia, the super guide, told me a lot about Thailand and its customs. She told me where to buy the best ice cream and about the durian pillow. A big thank you to the guide!!!
Yesterday we went on an excursion, everything was great, the guide Ksenia told us a lot of new things about the life of Thais that we didn’t know.
Today we went on the Buddha Shopping Tour. The tour started at the snake farm. We watched a show, listened to some stories, and even bought something – I couldn't resist. Then we went to other stores, but that's not what I'm talking about. Even though it was a shopping tour, the excursion program was also packed. Ksenia, our guide, was constantly telling and showing us something. There were two observation decks (my least favorite), elephants and monkeys, a flower cafe, and an old, atmospheric street (though it was packed; I can just imagine what it's like there in high season). Overall, I really enjoyed it; I didn't even expect this from a shopping tour.
Today I returned from a gift shopping tour, which also doubled as a sightseeing tour. It was very convenient, especially for first-timers. The locations were well chosen, and the salespeople at the shops were unobtrusive. And then there were the observation decks, the island's natural beauty, the elephants, the monkeys, and the old town! Ksenia, the guide, was brilliant; she shared so many interesting things about the history, the country, and its special features along the way. I think I'd even go again!
