The tour was packed with locations, but I and others felt like we didn't get a lot of time there...we spent about six hours on the bus in total. We really enjoyed the beach with the airplanes, then went to see the elephants: riding and swimming were great, but I would have liked more time, especially for the kids. Then we had lunch at the sea gypsy village. In my personal opinion, the lunch wasn't great...Firstly, it wasn't very visually pleasing, and secondly, it wasn't very tasty, but that's a matter of taste. If you're interested in kids, you can ask for French fries; there was chicken, too. We really liked the observation deck; there we were alone, and we had time to take leisurely photos and sit in the cafe. We were also a little disappointed that the temple was already closed, and the monkeys had already left. The remaining monkeys had already eaten their fill, so buying food was a waste. Overall, we liked it, but the number of locations could be reduced and the experience more enjoyable. The main thing is that the child liked it, even though it was tiring, the child was happy.

We took the Amazing Phang Nga tour and loved everything! The guide told us a great story about Thailand, its people, and the king! We had plenty of time at each location, but there were no monks at the temple where the Buddha rests (I really wanted to get my red string there). It turns out there's an entrance fee of 20 baht, but for three people plus a cape, it was 80 baht; they didn't warn us about the entrance fee. Otherwise, it was great 👍🏽

I really enjoyed the tour 🥰 Special thanks for the organization and punctuality) New emotions were added to the collection ☺️ Meeting the elephants evoked a lot of emotions 🤭😅 Thanks to the guide Nikita, there was a great vibe throughout the whole journey, he spoke clearly and to the point 😎 I was really looking forward to the observation deck, the view is very beautiful 😻 🏔️

The places are beautiful. I loved the monkeys and elephants. The boat ride through the jungle was interesting, and we saw a small crocodile. We had a delicious lunch at the sea gypsy village. The guide told an interesting story. The big downside is that it's a long 40-60 minute bus ride between locations. Apparently, it's a peculiarity of the island, and there's nothing you can do about it. The journey leaves you very tired, and it took three hours to get from the last stop to the hotel in traffic! No exaggeration. We left at 6:10 AM and arrived at the hotel at 8 PM. In total, we rode for 14 hours. The child was exhausted 😔

A very good tour! The managers were always available and picked us up from the hotel on time. We were lucky with the group; everyone was very friendly. The guide, Mikhail, was very welcoming, answered all our questions, shared lots of interesting information, eased the tension, interacted easily with the group, and everything went exactly according to plan. He even played a game with us on the way back. The journey from point A to point B was fun. The locations were interesting, and we got a lot done in one day. I highly recommend it!

We had a blast, and we'd like to thank our guide, Evgeny, for sharing his insights into the history of Phuket Island and the Kingdom of Thailand in general. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and highly recommend it.

We went on a tour to the Amazing Phang Yanga with guide Georgiy on September 18, 2025. We were a bit unlucky with the weather, but we were very lucky with our guide and company! He didn't rush us, explained everything clearly and understandably. I had food poisoning the day before, and he kept asking how I was feeling! We enjoyed the tour, but I really want to highlight Georgiy's work, as there are very few guides like him, and you want to fully immerse yourself in the tour, not just rush through Europe. Everything was great!
