Great tour, great guide, great price! - Excellent Tour. Our guide Noom, was terrific. He suggested we add the elephant sanctuary to the tour and it was a highlight of the trip. He took us to great locations, took our photos, lots, and provided an excellent narrative. He took us to an excellent restaurant where we had and excellent lunch on the beach. Did I mention it was a real bargain?

Great experience - would 100% do it again! - Awesome experience! Shoutout to mr tay (hopefully i spelt it correctly) for his warmness and hospitality. Super friendly and accommodating. He told me he wants guests to spend less time traveling in the car and more time exploring so please, let him recommend the preferred route for you! His english is good and he also takes great pictures. Thanks again! - J from Singapore

Excellent guide with connections everywhere - Our guide was excellent at customizing our tour to suit what we wanted to see! She was able to get us into The Jungle Club, which we had been unable to do on our own. She got great parking for us everywhere we went. She took great care to point out any obstacles that a person might trip on. And she was fun!

Tour with Nikie and Banjong - Nikie was so informative, spoke English well, was helpful to us and everyone we passed, so full of energy and knowledge about the island and its history. She was so much fun! We got on top of the truck to go up and down the mountain - what an experience!!! And our driver, Banjong, maneuvered those crazy roads and branches like a champ!!!! We went around the entire island. Thank you for a wonderful tour on my birthday!!

Koh Samui with Nikie & Banjong!!! - We did the private tour. Nikie was our tour guide and she is amazing! Full of life, helpful to us and everyone around, knowledgeable and adventurous!!! We went to see Wats, waterfalls, elephants, the rock, and drove to the top of the mountain on top of the truck! Banking, our driver, was a miracle worker getting us up and down that mountain and maneuvering the streets. One of the best tours yet I have had with Viator!!!

Wonderful day in Koh Samui!! - What a fantastic day!! Mr Tai planned the day based exactly on what we wanted to see & suggested some cool additions- feeding elephants and monkeys picking coconuts!! Made the most of our time in Koh Samui & provided a ton of background and interesting facts! Also the van was very nice- Fabulous tour!!

Amazing Tour!! - We had a six hour private tour of the city of Ko Samui. I would recommend this to everyone! The private tour gives you the ability to ask so many questions to the very educated driver. Our driver. Noomy was amazing! There were no questions he couldn’t answer! We talked about culture, religion, income, family, living situations, there was nothing off-limits. And he was so much fun to be around. There is no better way to learn about this beautiful island and its culture! He took us to all the highlights (temples, and Buddhas) and explained everything in so much detail. Hands-down, one of my favourite things we did while in Thailand. The fact that we had one on one service and could customize, our trip was so much better than an organized tour. If we wanted to stay longer at one place we did. And when we got hungry, we just told Noomy and he found us an incredible local spot with amazing food. DO THIS TOUR!!!

Not as Expected - Guide Was Not as Advertised - Koh Samui is very beautiful and this tour drove us to everywhere we wanted to go without hesitation. So, why 3 stars? We picked this company because their Viator listing said a licensed English speaking guide was included. Our guides English ability was extremely limited. In fact, it was so limited he was unable to tell is anything about what we were seeing at all. He did not even gontp the various sights with us, instead staying with the van until our return. Of course Wikipedia and other internet sources were useful and we Googled while at the locations but that is not what we thought we paid for on this tour. We saw other groups from the same company whose guides were right with them and entertainingly telling the history and importance of the various shrines, temples, waterfalls, etc. For this reason, we were disappointed with this tour. All other aspects - price, pre-tour communication, sights included were good.
