About this tour

The Phuket City Tour puts a private air-conditioned car and driver at your group's disposal for a half day (6 hours) or a full day (8 hours), collecting you from your hotel and dropping you back at the end. It is the simplest way to see the island's big landmarks — the Big Buddha, Wat Chalong, the west-coast viewpoints, Promthep Cape and the Old Town — in one day without juggling taxis between them. See all our Phuket activities.

The price is per car, not per person. One car carries 1 to 4 travellers for the same price: ฿2,760 for the half day and ฿3,105 for the full day. Children take a seat like adults; a baby on a parent's lap is free. Groups of five or more need a second car, which the booking box adds automatically. Want longer on the half-day and full-day tours? Extra hours are ฿460 per hour per car — ask us on WhatsApp before your tour.

Staying in Patong? The Patong Pickup – Tiger Park & City Tour is ฿4,000 per vehicle — a sedan, SUV or van, one price for 1 to 10 travellers (11 to 20 travellers need two vehicles, and so on). It runs 6 hours including traffic, from and back to your Patong-area hotel. Tiger Park tickets are not included. Staying outside Patong? Message us on WhatsApp for the rate before you book.

Choose your route in the booking box:

  • Half Day City Tour (6 hours): Karon Viewpoint, the Big Buddha, Windmill Viewpoint and Wat Chalong — the essentials in a relaxed half day.
  • Full Day City Tour (8 hours): Karon Viewpoint, the Big Buddha, Windmill Viewpoint, Promthep Cape, Wat Chalong, a pearl factory and Phuket Old Town — the most complete loop of the island's south and centre.
  • Full Day – Temples, Old Town & Sunset (8 hours): The Big Buddha, Wat Chalong, Phuket Old Town's Sino-Portuguese streets and street art, Karon Viewpoint's three-beach view, then sunset at Promthep Cape.
  • Full Day – Beaches & Sunset (8 hours): Nui Beach, Windmill Viewpoint, Nai Harn Beach and Rawai Beach, finishing with sunset at Promthep Cape — with an optional stop at a cashew nut factory.
  • Patong Pickup – Tiger Park & City Tour (6 hours including traffic): from your Patong-area hotel to Tiger Park, the Big Buddha, Wat Chalong, Phuket Old Town and Promthep Cape, then back to your hotel. Tiger Park tickets are not included.

The stops. The Big Buddha is a 45-metre white marble Buddha on Nakkerd Hill with views over Chalong Bay. Wat Chalong is Phuket's largest and most visited temple. Karon Viewpoint looks over Kata Noi, Kata and Karon bays in one frame, and the Windmill Viewpoint near Nai Harn overlooks the turquoise water around Ko Man. Promthep Cape, the island's southern tip, is Phuket's favourite sunset spot. Phuket Old Town is a grid of pastel shophouses, cafés and murals, and Nai Harn, Nui and Rawai are quieter southern beaches.

This is a private driver service, not a guided tour: your driver takes you between the stops and waits while you explore at your own pace. It suits families, couples and small groups who want a comfortable day of sightseeing on their own schedule. It pairs well with a sea day such as Phi Phi Island or James Bond Island, and with evening shows like Carnival Magic or Siam Niramit. Need an airport transfer too? Message us on WhatsApp for a quote, or plan the whole trip in the Trip Dust package builder.

  • Which route: Short on time or travelling with young children? Take the 6-hour half day. For sunset at Promthep Cape choose one of the two sunset routes, or the Full Day City Tour, and start late morning so you reach the cape in the early evening.
  • Temple dress: The Big Buddha and Wat Chalong are active temples — cover shoulders and knees.
  • Bring: Sunscreen, a hat, water and swimwear if you are on the Beaches route. Cash for entrance fees (Tiger Park tickets on the Patong tour), snacks and the cashew or pearl factory shops.
  • Running late? On the half-day and full-day tours extra time is ฿460 per hour per car; on the Patong Tiger Park tour ask us for the rate. Message us on WhatsApp and we arrange it with your driver.
