Bad customer service from operator and viator

Clara_S, Aug 2023

Generally don’t like writing poor reviews but my friend and I are extremely disappointed and frustrated with this booking. We booked this tour a month in advance and were allowed to indicate our hotel as the pick up point. The night before, we were told that we can’t be picked up as our hotel was out of the pick up area. We couldn’t cancel as well because of the 24h cancellation policy and we don’t have the means to get to the pick up ourselves. Tried to call the operator multiple times but no one picked up. 15 minutes before the tour, we received a message from the operator saying that we should have indicated patong beach as our pick up as it was the closest to us, but we would not have known that this was an option because (1) our official ticket stated our hotel as the pick up point (2) the operator was uncontactable for alternative transport options (3) this was sent right before the activity and we would have missed it anyway. We weren’t allowed to get a refund for this activity even though we were only informed past the free cancellation window. Reached out to viator’s customer service as well and initially the CS rep was really helpful but the subsequent reps who took over the conversation were less and less helpful. I’m sure whoever went on this activity had fun, but I had a bad experience communicating with the operator and viator. Will probably not book tours on viator moving forward as there is no customer safe guard in the event that communication lapses between the vendors and customers happen.

ATV FUN

Bridget_M, June 2023

We had the best time!! Highly recommend, stopped at Big Buddha first and then we rode through the jungle, and fed a baby elephant. Our guide took many pictures and videos for us and was patient when I needed to take it slow down a couple of hills.

An adventure for sure!

Jackie_B, June 2023

I'm not experienced but my guide was very patient and helpful with me! I will recommend this service to any beginners.

Loved it

Kenneth_H, May 2023

Had a blast! Would definitely recommend doing this again. The elephants and monkeys were a nice addition to the day.

Joel_S, May 2023

Riding the atv up the hills to see the big buhda was absolutely amazing and we enjoyed riding through the jungle

ATV in the jungle

Barbara_S, Apr 2023

The tour was great! Our guide did a wonderful job making sure we were safe and provided me with a sarong to cover my shorts when we went to the Big Buddha. But, customers should Know immediately after booking through WhatsApp that they may have to provide their own transportation. That was not clear, since the site states hotel pick up, And you have to enter your hotel. We ended up doing the 3:30 tour instead of the 12:00 due to not finding out in time, but once sorted out, It was worth it. The view is breathtaking!

Thank you ATV Sea View on Tour 🧡

Kyla_L, Apr 2023

The best experience ever! My partner & I booked the 2 hour ATV tour with Big Buddha included with these guys and they are absolutely amazing. We unfortunately didn’t get the name of our guide but if you get the privilege to be on tour with him, count yourself lucky! He took great care of us and was also the most fun, hilarious and amazing person that really made the experience for us. All staff are friendly right from pickup to drop off and I couldn’t recommend anyone more highly! We left feeling like we were on cloud 9 and our cups full. Thank you so much ATV sea View on Tour. We will definitely be booking again if we find ourselves back in Phuket. 10/10!

Madison_P, Mar 2023

Not for beginners, which I loved. Best tour guide ever and we had a blast ! No complaints highly recommend

Fun experience but not for beginners

Lily_B, Mar 2023

Amazing tour guides, super friendly. But beware, this trail is not for beginners which I was not aware of. Almost crashed in a ditch lol. But the guide sat next to me and drove for me the rest of the time which was actually quite enjoyable. Overall, a fun day! Also we did the 2 hour tour and saw the big buddha which was kind of underwhelming, could’ve done a shorter package for sure.

Best Atv experience

Brittney_M, Feb 2023

This excursion was amazing! Tour guides were extraordinary and fun. I will say if you never been on an Atv before you will need to pair with someone that has experience. The route is not for beginners.

Worth money!

Katie_G, Jan 2023

Great time. Quad biking through jungle was great and very thrilling. Lovely views and enough time. We choose 1.5hr option

Money well spent and unforgettable

Thiam_N, Jan 2023

Great Experience, Tour Guide was friendly and caring from start to finishing. Money well spent. Recommended Tour when in Phuket

Extreme ride and an amazing service

Anna_T, Dec 2022

The ride felt quite extreme through steep hills and jungle with great views on the way. The guide was a pro that ensured we don't get stuck anywere and even filmed us while driving half backwards. In the end I lost my battery bank (for the phone), but they found it and delivered back to my hotel. Great service!

Adventurous

Kia_M, Nov 2022

Our tour guide, unfortunately can’t remember his name, was truly amazing. Helped and guided every step of the way.

Excellent

GloriaChidem, Sept 2022

MAY! Little late … We were picked up from our hotel in a comfortable open safari looking truck. Met the team and confirmed our details. The guide was amazing, he would stop off at the best spots in the Kathu Jungle overlooking the beaches. Top of the mount where the Big Buddha was and around spots we would not be able to get to by car. We zoomed through saw loads of animals and villages. Aside from getting bitten by Mosquitoes … amazing time! Our transfer guy also took us to see the Tigers and Elephants which was just fabulous! Scary but worth every penny!

My Best ATV experience

Charlie_K, July 2022

What a great experience, if possible try to book a private tour, and make sure you don’t have any scaredy cats with you, and you’ll have a fast paced exciting atv adventure. Or take it slow if that’s your preference. It was just me and the guide and it was great….
