The driver picked us up on time from the cruise ship and was happy to take us wherever we wanted to go. He waited for us while we spent time on another pre-booked trip to feed the elephants and was very good at planning our route so we saw everything we wanted to see before going back to the cruise terminal. would definately recommend

Reviews
The car was very clean and comfortable. Wut was an excellent driver and guide. He clean our seats and floor many time during the one day trip when we were out of car. He showed us the map and took wherever we wanted to go for six hours. We were super happy with his service. I couldn’t thank him enough.
Our guide Pammy was very helpful. He took us to some amazing uncrowded places and to a fabulous place for lunch. It was absolutely one of my favorite days on a 3 1/2 month trip.
We couldn’t find driver. He didn’t have a sign with our name on it. Spent an hour trying to find company or driver. When we did, they sent a different driver who turned out to be great
Safe Trip around the island. Driver spoke Little English but was eager to Show us things. Had a Great afternoon!
We had a great day with our private driver, we were able to do exactly what we wanted. I would highly recommend this company.
Nice vehicle. Driver was friendly but to say he spoke English was a stretch. There are a plethora of tours and drivers at the cruise port. Wait until then to book,
Booking a 4 wheel drive was a good choice. We got to the centre of the island on roads that would have been to steep for a usual vehicle. The tour driver was friendly and helpful. He listened to our itinerary and added extra stops that fitted in with our planned route. We had a limited time but managed 5 stops. The island was amazing. And the experience was calm and lacking crowds. Definitely better than the cruise ship planned option based on feedback from other passengers. Thank you. Sufie
This is a good way to see Koh Samui in the comfort of an air-conditioning van with local drivers who knows all good tourist spots, temples, view points and restaurant. The drivers are friendly and attentive although their English is limited.
Amazing driver, very informative and flexible and helped us so many times. Would highly recommend , felt like we saw the whole island in a couple of hours.
Accommodated day-before booking, requested locations/changes and different drop off (300 thb extra). Guide offered to take photos for us too
Wud (pronunciation Wood) was prompt, smart, spoke good English! Good clean, cool with A/C Had clear maps to explain the options and squeezed a lot into our 4 hours always with a smile! Good job Wud
Driver did not show up. After 35 minutes we asked the hotel receptionist for alternative. No Feedback during waiting time from tour operator and no driver. But they promised to give the money back.
We took a 4x4 city tour. Our driver/guide picked us up on time, professional and friendly. He really aimed to please. He took us to all the places we wanted to see and also to some hidden gems that we did not know about. This is really the best way to explore the island!
Great price and service. Our driver was punctual, responsible and super lovely. Everything was arranged well even through it was only booked the night before
We rented a private mini bus with private driver for 5 hours to see big budda and temples drove vidre to viewpoint on chawing and stopped several places so also the waterfall with elephants Chaførren for just 10 out of 10 mega cute and friendly explained everything on the way this can clearly be recommended
The driver picked us up from the hotel on time and drove with us exactly the tour points we had chosen. He also had a good tip for us (The Roof Samui), which we were very happy to accept! The driver was very friendly, extremely accommodating and very helpful; he helped me with my restriction (broken foot with cast and crutches) anywhere and anytime, so we could even drive with him into the mountains or jungle. There were even chilled drinks for us during the tour! It was a perfect day for us and I will remember it fondly. I would definitely book with Parallel Tours Samui again! 10 out of 10! Thank you, Daed (?), for the beautiful day on Koh Samui; the most beautiful day we have had here so far!!!
Unfortunately, our booking was cancelled 2 days before without replacement. And this for the Christmas holiday! But the money was refunded at short notice. There were enough taxi drivers on site, so reservations were not necessary !!!
We had booked a private tour guide and that was fantastic. Three tours were made with her and just the two of us. She showed us places that were lonely. We had said goals and it became more through their knowledge of the island. She did everything calmly and without time pressure. You can't get to know the island better with its temples and pagodas. For us, this Ms. Nan the real stroke of luck. Big praise to her.
