About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- andrewkO9026CG0 contributionsAirport fast track guide.Very friendly chap was waiting at the end of the airbridge, where he took our hand luggage. Took us through passport control ahead of a very large queue. Took us to the baggage carousel where he pulled our cases off the belt and took us directly to our hotel’s airport transport. The transport wasn’t immediately obvious and our guide went out of his way to find our driver. Once found he confirmed with the driver that was our correct transport and wished us a happy holiday. He could not have worked harder, been friendlier or more efficient. He made a great start to our holiday in Thailand.Written February 1, 2025
- A2TB0 contributionsComplete waste of moneyPurchased fast track for Phuket and these people were nowhere to be found so we went to regular immigration line. 20 minutes later when we had 4 people in front before the immigration agent they show up with signs. Took us out of line into the express one which ended up taking longer than if we stayed. Lots of apologies and excuses but no refund. Avoid these folks unless you want to throw away a couple hundred bucks for no reason.Written January 3, 2025
- Steve H0 contributionsDefinitely worth seeingI really enjoyed the Muay Thai, but the bench seats aren't great. It's worth paying extra for the decent seats round the ringside as the benches get uncomfortable after a couple of hours. The evening starts off with the young teens fighting and proceeds to older and heavier weight classes. Loads of good fighting, plenty of blood.Written December 27, 2024
- Mixalis010 contributionsTransport Service with compassionWe used IAsia for a hotel transfer from Phuket to Dewa Resort in Nai Yang and back. We can not thank them enough as on the morning we were supposed to depart to the airport and head back to Perth our daughter had a medical emergency & we are unable to make our flight. IAsia were compassionate & understanding & enabled us to use our already paid transfer 2 days later when we left. I must also mention both their vehicles were extremely clean, drivers very friendly & ensured we had a safe journey with an 8 month old. Thank u very much & we will be recommending to friends who come to Phuket to use your services.Written December 20, 2024
- Atto690 contributionsSo worth it!Worth every dollar! Fast Track for us every time from now on. A wonderful young man helped us skip the long cue, carried some luggage, helped with getting luggage and helped to get to our waiting driver. 10/10!Written December 9, 2024
- D1278UQcodyc0 contributionsDefinitely anyone can give this a goA must do while in Thailand, I took my 15 year old son..no problems at all. We are not kickboxing fans…just after an experience The fighters were compassionate and humble. There was a feeling of respect around the entire arena. Every seat has a good view of the fightsWritten November 7, 2024
- Harri S0 contributionsFun ActivityWe opted for the 18 zip package which was fab. We were collected from our villa at the time stated and dropped home again afterwards at a time that suited us once we had eaten (we opted to have tea and cake at the Baboon cafe which was beautiful but expensive). Everything was very well organised and safety was absolutely key. It was a great fun way to spend the morning.Written August 12, 2024
- Brummiebarfly0 contributionsTour was cancelledUnable to review. Tour was cancelled by operator due to insufficient number of people booked on tour. Such a pity, we were really looking forward to this.Written June 7, 2024
- NuttyNat010 contributionsA good experience but probably wouldn't returnThis was a great adventure, but not enough that I would return. The staff and concept are great, but it's essentially GoApe in Thailand. All very safe but no gloves provided which meant by the end our hands were raw. Now, I'm a little bias becauseI've been ziplining in Costa Rica which truly was above the treetops- this is not and you don't see much. It's also sweltering and for each activity you have to climb the same steep hill ... That said for what it was it was good. Depending on the package you get lunch included which wasn't too bad and a photographer follows you around - you can get all the pictures for around 1000bhat. Also went on the Roller ride which was a bit hairy because due to no gloves, it was really difficult to grip and hold on and if you Let go, you go upside down. TAKE GLOVES off you do this activity. Also shop around for deals -Viator is extortionate in Comparison to the deal I got with Ticket2Attraction - I saved around £70 for the same package including transfers. That was also cheaper than booking direct.Written May 4, 2024
- sarahsW153XC0 contributionsBest night out in PhuketOne of the best nights in Phuket. We booked direct by calling the number on the posters that are everywhere. We booked ringside seats and taxi to and from the event. It was very well organised. Arrived got taken to our seats, had a free t-shirt, waitress service for drinks.The fights were exciting and a bit brutal at times, a few knock outs. Was definitely a great night that I would recommend to anyone.Written April 28, 2024
- Katherine T0 contributionsFABULOUSFabulous. The show, the dancing, the costumes, absolutely stunning. Absolutely, hands down well worth going to see. 😁Written April 5, 2024
- Damien A0 contributionsGreat Night, very artisticGreat Show, a lot of amazing da sing, culture, clothing done so smoothly. Performers where very happy to meet the audience before and after the eventWritten March 26, 2024
- mariafava0 contributionsVery fun day! Tour guides were very nice and accommodatingPrivate speed boat charter to Maya beach , the caves and lunch and Koh phi. Highly recommended for a day tour. Theteam and tour guide were awesome. Always making sure everyone was safe, having fun, and enjoying fresh fruit, snacks, and cold drinks throughout the day. The speedboat was brand new too!Written February 25, 2024
- Erika M0 contributionsCon ArtistsLiars and thieves!! So many other places to go in Thailand. Hard pass. My packages promised me to take me back to my hotel. After I was done charged me an expensive price to get me and my small children back. I’m traveling as a single woman with my kids. Really disgracefulWritten February 1, 2024
- whartford110 contributionsIt was a great experience, well worth every pennyGreat day at Phuket islands, the crew were awesome, so fun, courteous and friendly. The islands were spectacular and the whole thing was well organised. Worth the money for the exclusivity of the experience. Thank you!Written January 24, 2024

We had a great time on this private tour. Our guide Adhar (hope I’m spelling that correctly) was sooo funny and great!! We loved the karon viewpoint and the big Buddha. Please note this is a whole day trip (8.5 hours inc. transfers) not 5 hours as advertised. You only get bottle water. Drinks can be bought at sights. You are invited to attend a small cafe in old town which you pay extra for. We didn’t like that at the gem store they try pressure you to buy even though the prices are very very expensive. Nothing under £400. Also note, you don’t actually visit any of the beaches on this tour you can only see them from the viewpoint!

Dear Hollyjad,
Thanks for the review and thanks for booking with us! As this is a private tour we have never rushed the guests and the tour usually takes less time than you experienced.
For the gem factory this is only optional as we do understand you may want to go in but we do mention this on the website.
Thanks again,
Nick

I just returned from a 10-day holiday in Phuket. On arrival I was greeted by ground staff and within minutes the private car arrived for the transport to the hotel in Patong. The next day I did meet Tipp the manager of the business to discuss the transport the previous day and any additional tours I was interested in. I had a minor complaint about the driver and the complaint was handled in a very professional manner by Tipp.
I was interested in viewing several temples, statues and beaches at the southern end of Phuket and also Phuket Old Town (several famous movies, including "Good Morning Vietnam" were shot there). Whenever I did see something interesting the driver 'Pon' stopped the car to allow me to take photos. Pon was the best tour guide / driver I have ever had. He was full of knowledge about the island, beaches, history and Buddhism. Booking the car for myself certainly was worth paying a little extra.
On my departure day the car arrived on time and took me to the airport without any incidents or delay. Thank you to Tipp and Pon for making my holiday in Phuket unforgettable. You deserve 5 stars and I will contact you when I plan my next trip to Thailand. fips52
