DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR!!
This tour supports animal cruelty!! Our second stop consisted of an animal park which supported elephant trekking, monkey/snake shows & baby elephants chained up in tiny pens. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED!!nnBooked this tour with promises of visiting beaches & the Portuguese old town, none which happened. Instead we were taken on a marketing trip through honey farms, cashew farms & a random jewellery shop. Not given any background information on the practices, this was clearly a money grab for the products that were being shoved in our face. nnDo not book this tour. Itu2019s the furtherest thing from what is advertised.
Stay away!
Stay away and dont book this Tour!nnGuide has spoken Bad english and has not given any informations about the stops.nnIn regards to the Tour:nFirst Stop was a 5 minutes Stop at karon View point to make a quick picture. This was enough time since there was no Chance anyway to make a picture due to an overcrowded place.nSecond Stop was really frustrating! nWe we're really devastated that we made a Stop at a Farm supporting animal cruelty which is completely against our Personal conviction!nThis Farm is an absolute No Go. Elephant Trekking, monkey and snake Shows and a Baby elephant crammed in a tniy Cage! For Sure we havent booked any of these shows therefore we were forced to wait 1h on a bench for the Others who have booked some of the animal cruelty Shows.nnNext stop was big Buddha and chalong Temple. This was fine with enough time. Then it became a ridiculous marketing - driving - around. We Stopped on a cashew Shop, bee Shop and jewellery Shop. Always with the Back ground to sell Something to the group. We got nearly no Information about the local production see Backstage or something you would expect. nnLast Stop was a night market where some of the Shops have Not had Open when we arrived. However we enjoyed a beer at a nice u0022roof topu0022 bar. So the Stop was fine and a cheap way to be there without spending much money for a taxi.nnLong story short this was wasted time and Money and absolutely strange.nOnly positive point: drivers were really friendly ans and supportive.nnNever again!
False advertising! Avoid at all costs
STAY AWAY! nnTo start the tour described in the itinerary was completely different to what was described on trip advisor. The tour took us to places featuring awfully treated animals which was very surprising seeing as this was never mentioned to be involved... quite honestly disgusting and disturbing. Complete false advertising in the description and never wouldu2019ve booked if we knew this was involved.nnAfter we realised the tour was completely different we confronted the tour guide for her to tell me thereu2019s nothing they can do and we would have to pay to go back to our hotel and receive 0 refund. Very bad service. We were then stuck on this bus that supported animal cruelty :( nnThe tour then took us to the big budda and wat chalong temple which was pleasant but the tour guide spoke very broken English giving us extremely little information on the sites. nnWe then moved onto the factories but quite honestly these were just places trying to sell your there products with 0 information on what actually goes on there. Very boring only highlight was the free tasters in the shops ahah (not joking). Quite clearly a way to get tourists to buy there products and a good 2 hours of our day wasted. nnOverall a shocking day with nothing more than a good example of poor customer service and lies from the tour company. Would strongly recommend anyone to stay away from this company.. unless you support animal abuse :/
Not good! Mislead and false advertising!
Really quite annoyed at this. We were so looking forward too this to then be told we were going too see elephant trekking!? Baby elephants chained up. ( something that we do not agree with!) and a drugged up tiger to have photos! Another thing we also donu2019t agree with! No beaches. No old town. Very disappointed. We have tried to get a refund but virtually impossible. Big Buddha was good and the temple. Apart from that I would do it yourself
Nice Tour
What we booked as a group tour turned out to be for us (since our hotel was far from Phuket town) with an additional fee as a private tour. We saw all the sites mentioned but in our own pace, which was great, so with that we hadnu2018t have to stay in the jewelery Factory very long;).nThe driver couldnu2018t speak much of English, some information we got via telephone but not as much information of Thai culture and life as we have hoped. But all together it was a great day for us.
Unverschu00e4mt bis ins letzte!
Noch nie ist uns so etwas in Thailand passiert, und immerhin reisen wir schon seit 12 Jahren nach Thailand. Wir haben diese Tour gebucht, da ich unbedingt Old Town Phuket sehen wollte, wie es auch angeboten wurde. Zuerst wurden wir u00fcberraschenderweise in ein Elephant camp, wo auch Elefantenreiten angeboten wurde, gebracht um Fotos mit angeketteten Elefanten machen zu ku00f6nnen - da wir dies absolut ablehnen, war unser Frust schon von der ersten Minute an sehr grou00df. Danach wurden wir in einen u201eDuty Freeu201c Shop gebracht - sprich ein Jewellery Shop um dort einzukaufen. Hab dann den Guide gefragt, wann endlich die Tour beginnt, und dies nicht von uns gebucht wurde. u00dcberraschenderweise war dann auch Old Town Phuket nicht inkludiert. Sondern ein Aussichtspunkt mit Sonnenuntergang. Die gute Dame hat in keinster Weise irgendetwas erklu00e4rt. Wir haben lediglich den Wat Chalong und den Big Buddha gesehen. Weiters wurden wir noch in eine Cashew Farm gebracht - da wartete das Verkaufspersonal schon mit den Einkaufsku00f6rben und zu guter letzt noch in eine Honig Farm, der dortige Chef hat gefu00fchlte 15 Honig, Propolis- und Gelee Royal Produkte pru00e4sentiert. Gott sei Dank hat ein anderes Pu00e4rchen gefragt, ob wir den Aufenthalt beim Sonnenuntergangs-Viewpoint auf 20 MInuten (statt 80 Minuten) verku00fcrzen ku00f6nnen - wir haben darauf sehr gerne eingewilligt und wollten nur mehr nach Hause. Es hu00e4tte nur noch eine Heizdeckenpru00e4sentation gefehlt, mehr als eine u201eKaffeefahrtu201c war das nicht - und ein ganzer Nachmittag umsonst. Der Tourguide hat sich beim Aussteigen nicht mal verabschiedet, der Dame war wohl klar - was da abgeht. Lieber einen private driver nehmen - aber auf keinen Fall diese Tour buchen!
