Booked this as a solo trip and it was well paced. Elephant sanctuary ethical visit in particular stood out. A couple of the transfers ran a little late but nothing that spoiled the trip.

Our trip to Phuket was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel was clean and well located, and the guided visit to Phuket Old Town streets was a real highlight. Airport transfers were on time both ways.

Phuket is stunning and this package covered the essentials well, especially Simon Cabaret Show. The hotel could have been a little closer to the center but transport was easy.

We added a couple of optional activities beyond Bangla Road (daytime) and don't regret it. Good value for what was included, and the food recommendations from our guide were spot on.
