The tour guide Mr. Tok was informative and very accommodating to requests of visiting other tourist sites beyond that of the itinerary. You won't regret it. Give your tour guide a tip if he has done a great job! ;)</p>

Was takn around by a delightful driver who knew Thailand, the island and history, spoke good English and ahd great sense of humour! I felt sorry for the other tour groups taken around on mass when we could just take out time. The masssage and spa was suberb and we liked it so much we booked another one for our last day.</p>

On the plus side of things was that it was a pretty thorough tour and you get to see most of the highlights of Koh Samui. On the downside was the lunch, pretty old food but it's the slow season now, so everything was pretty empty. The tour guide didn't know too much about the sites we were at but he was friendly and helpful. The massage was really great and we were back to our hotel by 4pm. A bit over priced but nice to not have to worry about anything.</p>
