Overall I can totally recommend doing this tour. I have looked for a couple of days of organised programme because it was my first stop after Bangkok and helped me arrive with some plan set out so I could arrive relaxed in the holiday 😊 Here's my feedback about the different parts Accommodation: I was offered an alternative Hotel that was a bit further from old town but still well located (5 mins by grab). At first I received a room without a window but was able to change the next day, also breakfast was great! Tours: - coral reef: couldn't see that many fish when snorkeling but the beach was very nice and the food for lunch as well - kao sok: quite a ride from Phuket but I knew that from the beginning. Very beautiful nature. Lunch very good again. Depending on the timing of the long boats some spots might be fuller, if someone is interested in more hiking it is better to actually stay a night in the park - James Bond Island: surprisingly the least crowded one, very well organised (although they try to sell you some stuff in the beginning that is actually not really needed on the tour). Had the island in the morning and it was not crowded at all, also kayaking through the mangroves was great and the beach in the end again beautiful. Each tour was with a different group, so it depended who you go with. As a solo traveller I was happy when there were also others. In general it seems though that Phuket (old town) might attract more families or couples. I would recommend getting there on a Sunday because the street food market is amazing.Show more

Excellent experience with East Gate team. They were responsive, supportive, and always available when needed, which made my solo trip smooth and stress-free. The tours were well organized, and we visited many of Kuala Lumpur’s top attractions. Our driver-guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared valuable information throughout the journey. A special mention to Mercure Kuala Lumpur Shaw Parade for its cleanliness and welcoming staff. Highly recommended!Show more
