Customer Testimonials
Excellent Phuket City Tour
We had a great day exploring Phuket with Phuket Travel Store. The guide was professional and friendly, sharing many interesting insights about local life and culture. We visited Wat Chalong, Phuket Old Town, beautiful viewpoints, and local markets with plenty of time to enjoy each stop. The transport was comfortable, and the whole tour was well organized.
Best Phi Phi Islands Tour
We joined the Phi Phi and Bamboo Islands tour last Friday and it was absolutely perfect! The booking process was super easy, pickup was right on time, and the service throughout the day was excellent. Everything was well organized, the crew was friendly, and the experience was very enjoyable from start to finish. Highly recommend Phuket Travel Store as a trustworthy and professional tour and travel agent!
Wonderful experience with elephants!
This was one of the most beautiful trips we've ever made. The elephants really live here species-appropriate - no riding, no coercion, just peace and respect. We could feed them, take them for a walk and experience them up close. The atmosphere was totally relaxed, nothing was overflowing or touristic exaggerated. Also the guides were super friendly and told a lot about the animals and the background of the project. You can tell immediately: Here, the welfare of animals is paramount. For those who love animals and value responsible tourism, this is an absolute must. Thanks to Phuket Travel Store for this special experience!
