We had a different guide than on the first day, and since he wasn’t Japanese, I was a little nervous at first. However, he turned out to be very cheerful and easygoing, and he gave us an enjoyable tour from a perspective unique to a local. The Japanese guide also reassured us by saying, “Please contact me if you need anything,” which allowed us to enjoy our trip with peace of mind.

Not only did I have trouble communicating in Japanese, but I also struggled to make myself understood in English. On top of that, my cell phone connection was spotty, which made me feel uneasy. Once I met up with the guide, they handled all the interpreting for me, recommended lots of great spots, and provided very thorough explanations. Thanks to them, I was able to enjoy sightseeing without any trouble and with complete peace of mind!

Since it was a tour led by a Japanese wife and her Thai husband, I really appreciated that there was no extra charge for a Japanese-speaking guide—something that’s often required on other tours. Our guide, Ai-san, was very kind and approachable. The itinerary was packed with activities—shooting, temple visits, go-karting, zip-lining, the Old Town, Tiger Kingdom, and even an elephant experience—and I was completely satisfied. Although we had to make a major change to our plans after I got injured while go-karting, our guide kindly stopped by a pharmacy for me, and afterward, we were still able to go on the zip line, which was something I’d been looking forward to. Since they flexibly adjusted the schedule and itinerary to suit the situation at any given moment, it was a tour that truly offered a high degree of freedom. I highly recommend it to anyone who’s on the fence.

On our last day, we booked a one-day sightseeing tour. Our guide took us to a local supermarket, a restaurant in Old Town that we’d been wanting to try, and a recommended massage parlor—it turned out to be a truly wonderful day. If we ever have the chance to visit Phuket again, we’d definitely like to book with them. We’re so glad we signed up for this tour!

Since I didn’t know much about Phuket, I asked the guide to focus on recommended spots. They took me to Tiger Kingdom, elephant riding, Patong Beach, and a cape with a beautiful view. When I started feeling unwell partway through the tour, they were a huge help—they assisted with shopping transactions and even cut the tour short to take me back to the hotel early. It was a huge relief to have a guide who spoke both Japanese and Thai. Next time, I definitely want to enjoy the tour all the way through!

The last time I visited Phuket, it rained constantly and I couldn’t do much sightseeing, so this time I wanted to really explore the island and booked a tour. I only had the day after my arrival free, but they were very helpful via chat and managed to arrange a full-day tour for me despite the last-minute booking. Since the weather was unpredictable that day, we decided on our itinerary in consultation with our guide. At Tiger Kingdom, we were able to see giant tigers and cheetahs up close, and afterward, we toured beaches and scenic spots such as Patong, Karon, and Kata. For lunch, we were taken to a local Thai restaurant, and in Old Town, we visited the Chin Buracha House and the Thai Hua Museum. Although a sudden downpour cut our free time short, we still enjoyed exploring the town and doing some shopping. Since our hotel was on the north side of the island, the travel time was a bit long, but both the driver and the guide were very courteous and attentive from the moment we woke up. They flexibly adjusted our itinerary to accommodate the weather, and thanks to that, we were able to experience so much of what Phuket has to offer. I’d definitely like to use their services again.

Since this was my first trip to Phuket, I did a lot of research before booking this tour. Although I caused some inconvenience due to my own misunderstandings, the staff handled each situation with flexibility, making it a very satisfying day. The guide on the day of the tour was different from the person I’d been communicating with beforehand, but he was very kind and we had no trouble communicating in Japanese, so it turned out to be a fun trip. I’d definitely like to book with them again the next time I visit Phuket.

Our family of four visited Phuket for the first time, and we took the plunge and hired a guide—it was the best decision we could have made! We had a truly fun and memorable day. Our guide, Ai, tailored her recommendations to our family dynamics and preferences, so we felt completely at ease leaving everything in her hands. Since we had children in elementary and middle school, we focused more on hands-on experiences than sightseeing, and we thoroughly enjoyed elephant riding, buggy rides, Hanuman World, and Old Town. She was a wonderful guide who maintained just the right balance of personal attention and independence. We’d definitely love to book her again.

It was my first time in Phuket, so I requested a tour that would let me enjoy the afternoon through dinner before returning to the hotel in the evening. Since I booked just a few days before my desired date, I was a little anxious, but the messages I received beforehand were very polite, so I felt at ease going into the day. I didn’t have any specific destinations in mind—I just gave a rough idea of what I wanted—and I really appreciated that they offered me a variety of suggestions. On the day of the tour, we were guided by a local guide who provided clear explanations in Japanese and took plenty of photos for us at the tourist spots. While we encountered traffic in the evening and weren’t able to visit some places, those experiences are part of what made it a wonderful memory. If you want to thoroughly explore the sights, I’d recommend starting the tour in the morning.

Since my flight back home was in the evening, I chartered a car in the morning to go sightseeing. I got to enjoy experiences I don’t usually get to have, like petting tigers and riding an elephant, and I was able to take my time exploring the Old Town. My guide, Ai, planned the itinerary with my flight time in mind, so I was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind right up until the very end.

We were able to take our time exploring our favorite spots at our own pace, and even my mother, who has trouble walking, was able to enjoy the sightseeing without any strain. The guide not only took us to the sights we wanted to see but also to some trendy shops, where we got to enjoy delicious food and pick out souvenirs—my niece was thrilled.

In the morning, she arrived to pick me up a little earlier than the agreed-upon time. We visited Tiger Kingdom, went on an elephant ride, and explored Old Town, and she provided clear and easy-to-understand explanations at each location. She also helped me with check-in and other procedures, which was a huge help. Thanks to Nana, I was able to enjoy my first sightseeing trip in Phuket.

They took great care of us throughout the tour. When my 5-year-old daughter got tired, they let her rest in the car, and they even arranged for my 8-year-old son to take a photo with an eagle at one of the stops along the way—they really went out of their way to accommodate our children. Playing in the water with the elephants was also an amazing memory!

Even though we were sightseeing on a rainy day, the kids really enjoyed themselves. They were very flexible—stopping at a convenience store along the way and taking us to a recommended restaurant for lunch after asking what we’d like to eat.

We booked a one-day sightseeing tour. It was our third time in Phuket as a couple, our sons’ second time, and our 3-year-old daughter’s first visit. We told the guide in advance which places we wanted to see and left the day’s itinerary up to them—and it turned out to be a truly fulfilling day. We were able to buy souvenirs at great prices at a supermarket frequented by locals, and for lunch, the guide took us to a popular local restaurant where they gave us helpful advice on what to order. The itinerary was packed with activities—including Tiger Kingdom, the supermarket, Old Town, Wat Chalong, shooting, and swimming with elephants—but thanks to Ai-san, who was always attentive to the children, our entire family was able to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind. Thank you so much!
