We booked the driver for the day. He was advised to take us where we wanted to go. But everything was an effort..There was always an excuse not to go somewhere. We had to be firm just to go to the Orthodox Church. He just wanted the day over. We were supposed to finish tour at 4pm..but it was completed ar 3.11pm.no explanation. I was disappointed. Tour company said they .were angry with him. But what about us? Dis not get to see the island properly..Nor were we compensated with another trip or a partial refund. Except "we are sorry".

Was nice and friendly 👍🏻👍🏻
Good trip to see all the sights and take pictures. Our guide handled 3 other groups but was available if you had questions and was happy to take family pictures.
You will get a nice overview of the main attractions of Koh Samui. It was a little disappointing that the same guide tried to handle several bus loads of tourists with very little English skills.
We really enjoyed the tour to all the important sights around Koh Samui. The tour guide was very nice, well-prepared, and informative. The staff was very friendly and attentive overall, and we were given water and wet towels to cool off during the tour. The temple complexes are spectacular and well worth seeing, even if they are very busy. You learn a lot about the history and significance of the individual statues. It is essential to wear appropriate clothing that covers your shoulders. If you don't have any, you can borrow a poncho there if necessary. The waterfall depends on the weather, as it is not as spectacular during dry periods. You can also see elephants there, which can be fed bananas for a fee of 100 baht per basket. Unfortunately, elephant riding is also offered here, which we did not support. Otherwise, the area around the waterfall is extremely touristy. The Chaweng viewpoint was also very beautiful and well suited for panoramic photos. There is an ice cream truck on the side of the road that sells fantastic coconut ice cream. You can also go down to the rocks, but then it gets more stressful as time goes on. All in all, the tour is recommended, especially for the price, as the entrance fees are included.
The tour was professionally done. I was collected from my hotel on time. We were well informed before each stop and the time spent at each one was sufficient. The driver and tour guide were very friendly and spoke English and helped with photos. A worthwhile experience!
I felt rush in each sight, with only 10 to 15 to explore and see; the guide was knowledgeable, I think, cause it was a bit hard to understand his English.
I was not picked up and I did not get my refund. I contacted the agent, no response. I also emailed them, I waited for over an hour but no show.
Very informative guide and beautiful sites visited. There was plenty of time to see and take photos of each place. Staff were very friendly.
A little mix up to start with, but once on the tour, guide (aiky) was very informative and chatty. Enough time at each stop to get the low down and the required pics.
It rained most of our time in Koh Samui so we didn’t get to adventure out throughout the week and see the sites. Our last day in Koh Samui the weather was clear and we decided to do this tour so we could get more of a glimpse at Koh Samui. It was at the perfect pace and we got to see a lot in a few hours. Our tour guide was knowledgeable. Seeing Wat Plai Laem and the Kin Ta and Kin Yai Rocks were our favorite things. Definitely recommend this tour if you have limited time in the area and want to pack a lot of sites into a short time.
Great experience, interesting locations, beautiful views. Defitinely would recommend for first time visitors.
The guide was very informative and knowledgeable about the topics. The driver was very courteous. On the whole a great experience
Very conveniently collected from hotel. Comfortable air-conditioned mini-bus. A great way to see the main sights of Koh Samui, especially the two gorgeous colourful Wats. Best of all was the highly informative and friendly guide Palmy who gave us lots of information not only about the sights but also about Thailand's society and culture. Excellent tour - highly recommend ...and our two kids aged 9 and 10 liked it too, especially the opportunity to eat delicious coconut ice-cream from the coconut shell.
Very organised tour, well presented and explained all the details. Lovely tour guide who took into account everyone’s needs. Was so hot, but minivan was air conditioned. Lots of temples and shrines, viewpoints and lookouts. Good to see the island and how the Thai people live, with all the scooters, motorbikes, street markets and food stalls lining the roads.
Great Tour, our guide Wai was a very nice and fun guy! You drive in a nice and clean van in small groups, so you got the chance to have enough time at every place
Was good to get out and see parts of koh Samui the laughing Buddha was good and the big Buddha was lovely you could even get blessed by the monk which was nice there are a couple of souvenir shops by the Buddha. The mummified monk was strange but glad I visited
Easy & reasonably priced way to get around Koh Samui & see the top tourist attractions. Enough time spent at each one. Able to get good photos. Happy I took this tour.
A great tour to see the main temples and Buddhas. Wan was a nice guide with lots and interesting information. The 'mom and dad' rocks didn't have to be for us. The waterfall was nice but unfortunately little water.
Very friendly guide. The times were right at each point, I think to know the different places is ideal.
Poorly looked after understands no English can not provide information. Just standing around off the beaten track or walking away from people.
Expresses competent and nice guide. You get a nice overview of the main attractions of the island. The absolutely professional and uncomplicated handling of an emergency that has occurred should be emphasized. The organizer can be relied on.
For me and my 17-year-old daughter...just right. Everything went smoothly..about get your guide...the provider....the hotel pickup...the spots were great and explanations were also included. Everyone friendly and concerned about safety. So we were able to quickly visit a few highlights of the island. We loved it and took some nice memories with us
Ein sehr gut organisiertes Erlebnis, bei dem man einen guten Eindruck von der Insel erhält. Dank der ruhigen und souveränen Fahrweise unseres Chauffeurs, als auch der persönlichen Schilderungen der Reiseleiterin, genossen wir ein einzigartiges Erlebnis. Ein unbedingt wertvoller Tip, den man sich nicht entgehen lassen sollte.
