This was one of the best experiences we had in Koh Samui during our honeymoon. Hart was fantastic. He was very friendly, respectful, patient, and kind. He showed us the best spots, gave us recommendations on what to do, where to go and was very flexible. I’ll definitely recommend him again.
The only way to see the most of the island in a short time. Met at our hotel by our guide and driver, two very polite young men. The vehicle was clean and very comfortable, important for a long day. Everywhere we stopped, our guide thoroughly expained what we were seeing and was also able to answer our questions. Those he was unable to answer immediately, he used the net to find ghe answer. Lunch was included, the restaurant located by the beach, the food very tasty and the restaurant staff nice. Our driver and I believe it was his first day coped superbly with the traffic. I particularly want to thank our guide, I had some mobility issues and he was extremely kind assisting me where necessary. That aside, this tour is well worth taking.
We’ll run your with helpful and instructive guide. Provided an easy way to around to most of the tourist highlights on the island. Lunch as excellent.
Disappointing. Did not explain the visits. Did not provide information on the destinations. They discouraged us not to go to the mountains and see that area as there was no water but had no alternative plan. The driver was curt with us, spoke English but not to us. The guide and driver spoke to each other throughout most of the trip and we felt like tag alongs. The guide and driver were in their cel phone not related to the trip. We wish we had booked with another tour company.
The guide customized the tour for our family based on our needs. Called the restaurant before to make sure we had no waiting time.
The 3 of us, mom, dad and a 21 year old son went on this sightseeing tour. The guide, Nong, was on time, spoke good English. The mini van was clean and comfortable. The tour was customized for our needs. Knowledgeable and friendly guide. They call d 30 min before lunch to make sure the restaurant was ready to receive us. We felt VIP.
This trip was a highlight of our holiday. Our guide Nong was brilliant, incredibly kind, knowledgeable and hospitable. The sights and the lunch were all amazing and I loved having Nong explain to us the history of the temples. I highly recommend doing the private tour to really take it all in. Our driver was also fantastic, very polite and accommodating.
Phenomenal tour! Nong and Eddy were wonderful the entire day! Nong was informative and helpful throughout the day. A great experience and a great way to learn and see beautiful Koh Samui.
Absolutely fantastic day out from start to finish! The team were incredibly flexible with the schedule, which made the experience so relaxed and enjoyable. The lunch was amazing, and as someone with coeliac disease, I really appreciated the gluten-free options available. Our tour guide was wonderful! so knowledgeable about each location and took the time to give us a great tour everywhere we visited. She also went above and beyond by taking beautiful photos and videos for us, which made the day even more special. Thank you for such a fantastic experience. We made some wonderful memories and would highly recommend this tour!
A nice, comfortable trip around essential locations of Koh Samui, well-planned. Lunch at a beautiful, quiet restaurant by white sand beach. Food was excellent, authentic Thai cuisine. Safe, comfortable SUV. Guided by knowledgeable tour guide and, we visited magnificent, venerable temples, unique blending of Thai native tradition, Hinduism and Buddhism.
We had a really enjoyable day out with our guide and driver. Very knowledgeable and friendly, giving us an insight into the sites that we saw and also an understanding of island life. We would highly recommend.
We had an amazing time and our tour guide, Ramazan, was very knowledgeable, kind, patient, and humble. I would 100% recommend this excursion with him. The lunch was also very delicious and plenty.
We did this trip with Travel Authentic Asia. Can’t remember the guide and drivers names but both were very good. The trip included elephant sanctuary feeding, big Buddha temple, a few stops at viewpoints, mummified monk temple, namuang waterfall, and Pia Laem temple. Lunch was also included in a local restaurant and the food was delicious. There were 8 of us in the spacious mini van with great air conditioning. The highlight was the elephant sanctuary but the rest of the trip was also very memorable. If in Ko Sumui this trip is a must.
Our guide was waiting for us at the meeting point as soon as we arrived. She led us to the vehicle to meet our driver. Both young women were so professional and yet still personable. They happily and easily adapted the itinerary to meet our pace and desires. My husband somehow tweaked his back when we were out and about. They were very considerate and allowed us to stop at a local pharmacy for some topical medication. All in all, it was a wonderful day! We felt like we saw all the highlights, and the vehicle was so comfortable considering we were a party of six adults. Highly recommend!
The trip was absoluteky awesome. We arrived late due to the ships tender & they waited for us with a smile. The guide was lovely she took us to some fabulous sites & helped me when climbing steps, she was really considerate. The meal we had in a restaurant looking out to sea on the beach was the best meal I have eaten, it was totally delicious. The roads are narrow & steep in places & the driver was briliant. The car was lovely well air conditioned as the day was extremely hot. We had a fabulous day Thank You Viator it will be a day we will always remember with much happiness.
Grace met us on time at the tender wharf & was very friendly, kind & well informed guide. Our transport was excellent, lovely Thai luncheon overlooking the beach was included. Everything they said would be covered (& more) was done - all in all an excellent day out to visit Ko Samui & we’d highly recommend Grace, our guide.
What an amazing tour around this lovely island. Our guide, Grace, was so kind and knowledgeable. She made sure we got to see all the sights and introduced us to some new customs and delicacies. The lunch provided was outstanding and totally unexpected from a little spot on the beach. Wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone with limited time (or all the time!).
Great private tour today. Our tour guide was lovely but sometimes break down in translation but her English is 100%, better than our Thai The island is stunning
This tour takes you around the entire island showing you six or seven key attractions. It gives you time to shop and a wonderful lunch at a Michelin restaurant. Is it a great way to spend six hours and feel like you’ve gotten a good tour.
The tour guide was pleasant but couldn’t speak any English. We were not communicated with while in the car travelling from site to site and little to no info about what we were seeing at each site. If it wasn’t for the actual sites to see, the tour was terrible.
It was a great day. Very hot and muggy. Some interesting sites and historical locations. Adisorn was very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. He explained everything in great detail. We ate at a very scenic ocean front Resturant that served us a great family style meal. The transportation was wonderful, comfortable and cool. The drive was unbelievable.
Excellent! Our driver Aeh and guide Suay were very knowledgeable and we had a fun day touring the sights of Koh Samui. I have mobility issues and I still felt included in everything. I could do as little or as much as I could manage. We had our first taste of Thai food, absolutely delicious. Suay and Aeh even stopped at a roadside market so we could try some Thai fruit. We had an amazing time and highly recommend this tour.
Met Mr Pak drivers on time at terminal 2 1/2 drivers into Bangkok due to traffic Met our guide Mr A at temple downtown. He was very knowledgeable about the history of temples and the city. Took time to explain what we were going to see and what to look for before we went in most places. Was great with taking pictures and videos that showed the best view of all the buildings We really enjoyed our time in Bangkok because of him and Mr Pak got us back to the ship in 2 hrs way before our all aboard time
Our guide was amazing, and attentive to our wishes as we saw the sites. We even took time aside to do an elephant ride, which was the highlight of our day. The lunch spot was incredible and the food was so good
Excellent tour included everything we wanted to see thanks to our wonderful guide Nong and our driver Noom. We also had a delicious Thai lunch and they catered for dietary needs.
Great tour of all the main sights of Koh Samui. Fabulous lunch by the sea. Our guide May was pleasant and informative. A must do if you’re on a cruise ship and only have a few hours.
Absolutely great day with friends. I made a mistake on the booking it for the wrong day. I noticed when we were waiting for driver. Anantara hotel staff were extremely helpful to speak to Viator ((UK) ang local provider who managed to arrange our tour at last minute and change it - so great that they picked up 45 min later
We had a driver and a guide with a perfect car for the tour. They were friendly and calmly showed us everything and catered to our wishes. Wir hatten ein super Essen und viel von der Kultur in Thailand kennengelernt. We laughed a lot together and had a lot of fun, for example when feeding the elephants bananas. It was one of our best trips. Thank you.
They were somewhat flexible (e.g. traded lunch for visit to the elephant sanctuary with extra payment) but charged extra once they realized I was from a cruise ship. Generally a good itinerary, but it was hindered by the limited English capabilities of the guide. Driver/car was very good.
Wonderful experience. My guide, Sugar, was awesome! Great knowledge and spoke English very well. Got to see all of Koh Samui.
Our tour guide, called Kittichai gave us a very great time to tour Koh Samui today! We had an air-conditioned spacious vehicle, free bottles of water and a good lunch in a good restaurant facing the sea. The driver was good and drove safely. We had an enjoyable time in Koh Samui. The guide also took a lot of photos for us. Many thanks to him!
Excellent tour guide and tour, they turned up on time, gave us local insight on the area and country and culture. Had a wonderful lunch at a lovely local restaurant without out tourist. I would recommend this.
The tour guide was the most knowledgeable I have ever had on a tour the place where we eat lunch many movie stars have eaten there and it was delicious. We went to every attraction. Ko Samui had. Again I can’t stress the knowledge this man had it was a great trip. Another thing about the tour guide that was his occupation on so much about the culture and Buddhism.
Our guide was the absolute best! He took tons of photos and created a video of our day and sent to us after the tour. He was kind, answered all my questions and went at a pace we were comfortable with. I cannot say enough positive things about our guide and driver.
A great private tour of Ko Samui. The tour description is exactly what we did. My wife's recent knee issues concerned us about her participation but the tour provider alleviated our concerns. Everyone was accommodating. The tour guide, Cindy was great. Highly recommend.
Loved the tour. From the amazing tour guide, to the places we visited. The guide was happy to customise the tour as required. Felt we have a much greater understanding of the Island history, religion and culture. The place we went for Lunch was 5/5. Amazing views with delicious food. Would definitely recommend.
Fantastic tour of the Island of Ko Samui. Host was excellent, driver was very safe and got us back to our cruise ship perfectly. Great Value, Highly Recommend!
This tour is a MUST! There's a great selection of sights all around Koh Samui that you'll see on this tour, like the Big Buddha, Hin Ta Hin Yai, and the Chinese Temple. What (or rather, who) made this adventure truly amazing for me and my wife whoever was our tour guide, Nong. He was personable, professional, and funny, offering tons of local knowledge of the area, of Thailand's history, of the history of the island and the sites we were visiting, and his own life and personal experiences. He made fantastic conversation during longer stretches of car ride as well. He was the ideal guide to to help us get around the island, and always was willing to answer questions or take a picture or two. Could not recommend more - he made all the difference! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely amazing day, Hart and Mr Kob made this experience so enjoyable. They were happy to adjust the itinerary so as not to repeat a spot that we had already visited. Kind thoughtful knowledgeable and we would have no hesitation in recommending this company and its wonderful staff. Delicious lunch over the water 10/10
My guide Nong is amazingly kind and knowledgeable. I was traveling solo and he made me comfortable and gave me the best experience!
I enjoyed my tour. Very good english communication and easy going, adaptable personality. I have a photography hobby so it was nice that I could take extra time for my snaps. I saw all of the great spots on the Eastern half of the island with guided information of each historical spot. Lunch was lovely spot, seaside, and delicious.
A great way to see many of the bucket list sights on the island. Your tour lets you change or create the itinerary to suit what you want any to see and do. Friendly guide and driver.
Great day visiting temples and beautiful views! We had an awesome well knowledgeable guide. Learnt alot because of him. Overall experience was fantastic.
Guide was amazing and really gave us a local insight to all the sites we visited. There were many of the places we visited that we would not have appreciated without his commentary. We were given time guidelines but could have stayed longer in any place we wanted to. The guide was very flexible and so friendly too! We were really glad we chose to take the tour and highly recommend these guys.
Our guide was knowledgeable and shared a lot of local and cultural knowledge throughout our tour. Because we were a small group (two of us), we were able to make adjustments based on our needs/wants for the day making it that much more special and fun. Had a great time!
This was a great way to see the main sights of Koh Samui. We learned so much about the history and significance of each site thanks to our wonderful tour guide Adisorn. We had the perfect amount of time at each one and never felt rushed. There was a delicious traditional lunch included. Would definitely recommend if you want a different setting from the beach and want to explore the island.
We had a fantastic experience on our tour of Koh Samui! Mr. Hart was an excellent and knowledgeable guide—friendly, engaging, and full of interesting information about each of the sights we visited. He was happy to answer all our questions and made the tour both educational and enjoyable. A special thank you to Mr. Kob, our driver, who ensured we traveled safely and comfortably to each location. The tour was well-organized, informative, and a great way to explore the highlights of Koh Samui. Highly recommended!
Wow so much to see on this tour! Was crazy hot day so private air conditioned transport was very welcomed. Our guide Hart was very knowledgeable, not only about the places we visited, but also about the whole island and we really enjoyed learning from him. The lunch was at a beautiful restaurant in Lamai with stunning beachfront views and the food was excellent. Thank you for a wonderful day!
Very warm personal guide and driver. Detailed explanation while guest orientated. Really appreciate on their accompany.
Such a fantastic and well organised trip. Our driver, Mr Eh, was fabulous, and took us to so many great places. Our tour guide Paly, was the best tour guide we have had. So knowledgable, happy and friendly. I would 100% recommend this tour. The price was great as it included all entrance fees, and a beautiful meal in a lovely restaurant. Another fabulous trip organised by Viator.
