After initial problems trying to book tours over the internet in Phuket, we turned to the Discova travel desk at the Kee Resort in Phuket. The consultant, Akechai was excellent and booked 4 trips for us, the prices were very competitive and the service even better. Trips to Phi Phi Island and the James Bond Island were fantastic, all pick ups were on time, the boats and crew excellent and the itinerary was great, both the travel consultants and tours are highly recommended.

So having used Buffalo Tours (now Discova) before we had always said that we would come back to use their services. So the 15 night trip was designed around our own requirements with 10 nights of touring the highlights of Thailand followed by a 5 night stay on the fabulous island that is Koh Lipe.
The vacation started in Bangkok with a free day to ourselves followed by a day of seeing the delights of Bangkok (Golden Palace, Canal tour etc). Thereafter we spent a number days on the road with a private guide taking in Kanchanburi (River Kwai), Ayuttha, Sukhthai before completing this leg in Chiang Mai where we had a great time at an Elephant camp amongst other tours. We then flew back to Bangkok to spend a couple of days at our own leisure before we then flew down to Hat Yai in order to make our way to Koh Lipe which we hand picked as an island to relax and explore.
The pre-arrangements and support throughout were second to none and we couldn't recommend Discova anymore highly. It certainly ticked all the boxes.

My husband and I had a private driver to explore the sights of Phuket and the surrounding areas on the 28 February. He had him for 8 hours. It was a fantastic day. We set our own itinerary and visited Karon View Point, The Big Buddha, Wat Chalong, Monkey Hill, Old Phuket Town, Chinese Temple and Promthep Cape. Nothing was too much trouble for our driver. When we wanted to stop to take photos of random objects of interest, our driver was more than happy to accommodate us. The day went so fast and it was made wonderful by the lovely car we travelled in and our amazing driver.

After confirmation and full payment, a discova rep advised us to be in the lobby at 0715 for pick up.
After 1 1/2h of trying to contact the office, we were advised the tour had been cancelled.
There was no offer of an alternative tour.
Terrible customer service.

Organised through the hotel, the half day Phuket tour ensured timely pick up from the hotel, Karon View point, the Big Buddha, Chalong Temple, old Phuket Town, Phuket View Point, Cashewnut Factory and finishing up with some shopping on the way back to the hotel. The tour guide was informative on all aspects of Phuket. Would recommend to do this activity at the start of your holiday if first time in Phuket.

Advertised from 2,200 baht then when you go to book it is 5,300 baht! Don't mind a slight difference but that's a lot!
Would love to do this tour but am on a budget. Not fair, advertise a real price guys!!!

My wife and I spent Sunday with our tour guide Cho. He picked us up from our hotel and explained with a map an overview of what we’d cover in the next few hours. In his comfortable car we drove around the entire island with him pointing out various facts about the scenery from the car and getting off at different stops to view temples and scenery. Cho was super friendly and informative and we had a relaxing morning learning more about Samui. About two hours in we had an hour to walk by ourselves around the local market area for some fun shopping and food which was a surprisingly a nice addition to the trip. We would highly recommend this tour of the island!

The park is situated in the middle of nowhere, so you will have to pay a lot to eat there, but the waterpark itself is really nice. There is amusement for all ages.
