our guide Giulia sorted everything for us and the bit at the end nobody expects was the highlight. Mid-week so it was quiet so it wasnt too busy. Honestly better than the tour we did in phuket last year, and ideal with kids (ours are 6 and 9), and 6 stops in about 3 hours. Would book again no question.
