“Miss Fa was very informative and provided us with water and crisps. We did the morning tour which I recommend as it gets hotter throughout the day. It was nice to have 1.5 hours free time at the Phuket old town. We ate in the restaurant behind ‘hey mango’ which was really nice and clean and good food. We bought chocolate nuts from the cashew factory and it was very interesting to see how they farmed these. Very good value for money.”
