You choose the route, the driver handles the road

A private customizable city tour of Phuket lets you build your own itinerary instead of following a fixed schedule. You get a professional driver and air-conditioned vehicle (sedan, SUV, or van depending on group size), hotel pickup and drop-off, and the freedom to visit Big Buddha, Wat Chalong, Old Phuket Town, beaches, markets, or anywhere else you want to go. Tours run 4 to 12 hours; attraction tickets and meals are separate.

The Experience

The vehicle arrives at your hotel and you decide where to go. Want to start at the Big Buddha for the view, then drift down to Old Phuket Town for the colonial shophouses and street food? Stay an hour or five minutes—the driver waits. Prefer Wat Chalong Temple and the Karon Viewpoint instead? Head there. The itinerary is yours to build, which means you skip the parts that don't interest you and linger where you do. A professional driver handles navigation and the air-conditioned car or van, so you're not managing the route or the traffic.

You pick the duration when you book—4, 5, 6, 8, or 12 hours—and the vehicle type scales to your group (sedan or SUV for up to 4 people, minivan for up to 10). Fuel is included. If you run over time, hourly charges apply: THB 450 per hour for a car or SUV, THB 550 for a van. Attraction entry tickets, meals, and drinks are not included, so you pay directly at each stop. The driver is not a guide, but they know the city and can point you toward local spots—markets, beach clubs, the Phuket Trickeye Museum, or anywhere else on your list.

Hotel pickup and drop-off within Phuket city limits are built in, so you don't arrange transport separately or negotiate with taxis. If you're flying in, airport pickup is available as an add-on (THB 350 for a car or SUV, THB 550 for a van, paid to the driver in cash). Infants can sit on a lap or travel in a pram or stroller.

What’s included

  • Customizable private city tour within Phuket (4 to 12 hours, your choice of duration).
  • air-conditioned private vehicle—sedan or SUV for up to 4 people, or minivan for up to 10.
  • professional driver and all fuel charges.
  • hotel pickup and drop-off within Phuket city limits.
  • flexibility to visit temples, beaches, markets, Old Phuket Town, or any other stops you choose.

Is this one for you?Book this tour if you want to move at your own pace and skip the fixed stops of a group itinerary. The private vehicle and driver mean you're not waiting for other passengers or following someone else's schedule—you set the route and the timing. It works well for families who want different things, couples exploring on their own terms, or anyone who'd rather spend an extra hour at one place than rush through five.

Top questions

Can I visit the Big Buddha and Wat Chalong on the same tour?

Yes. Both are popular stops on Phuket tours, and you can include them both or either one depending on how you want to spend your hours. The driver will take you to whichever sites you choose.

What's the difference between booking 4 hours and 8 hours?

A 4-hour tour covers one or two main stops comfortably; an 8-hour tour gives you time to visit multiple temples, neighborhoods, and beaches without rushing. The longer duration lets you explore Old Phuket Town, relax at a beach, and still have time for a local meal.

Do I need to decide my stops before the tour starts?

No. You can plan ahead or decide on the day—the driver will adjust as you go. If you want to stay longer at one place or skip something, just say so.

Are meals and drinks included?

No. Meals, drinks, and snacks are your own cost. The driver can recommend local food spots, but you pay at each place.

What if I want to go somewhere for longer than my booked time?

If your tour runs over, you'll pay an extra hourly rate: THB 450 per hour for a sedan or SUV, or THB 550 per hour for a minivan, charged to you at the end.

Is the driver a tour guide?

The driver is a professional who knows Phuket and can help with directions and suggestions, but they are not a licensed guide. They'll get you where you want to go and can point out landmarks along the way.
