For sure this is a nice trip!! It was our first long tour we are so excited about this tour, we heard a positive and very nice thing only about the place from the other people. So we checked with our booking website, we are so glad that we found the package we wanted too... Rich itinerary planned and the pictures at the site look good too which it can't stop us from not booking this package. We had a word with the right person from Thrillophilia about this trip and we get full information about the trip, we are very okay with the pricing, the booking and payment too were very easy... Our tour was very well-planned from the beginning only we are very comfortable, our leader was very friendly, very communicative and very knowledgable about the place shared interesting facts, history about each place we visit even helps us taken pictures. We had an amazing Phuket city tour, Phi-Phi Island and Krabi 4-islands tour really all-in-all was simply AWESOME... Accommodation and foods were up to the mark... Really it was a very nice thing to learn and experience new things in life... A 6-days tour was totally fun...

A beautiful piece of island standing Rock solid as if it's the admirer of every one else staring at him. The place is beautiful yet remote and hence it closes by evening and the island becomes completely out of reach.
