What travellers say: Jijie Tour and Travel vs Phuket Marine Travel

Jijie Tour and Travel

Reviewers of Jijie Tour and Travel (4.08/5 from 2,621 reviews) frequently praise its budget-friendly door-to-door shared minivan service, punctual or early arrivals, friendly drivers, and overall value on routes like Krabi to Koh Lanta, though many note inconsistencies such as cramped vans with poor luggage space, weak air conditioning, en-route parcel deliveries, and occasional delays that make the experience highly driver-dependent.

Phuket Marine Travel

The single available review for Phuket Marine Travel (2/5) describes the speedboat and van transfer itself as good but criticises unclear pickup instructions at locations like Laemtong Beach and uncertainty around timing, creating stress despite the reviewer not minding the lateness.
