Many sights at good value for money - Great value for money. We booked one day before the trip. We received an immediate response and were picked up directly from the hotel the next day. The sights were explained in good English.

Great experience - The tour was great, a whistle stop of the culture in koh samui. The staff provided us with eater and a cold towel along the way. I would 100% recommend, very good value for money.

Unique experience - Aptly named by ny teenage son. Well worth the time and money. Our driver was very engaging and knowledgeable. He aspect time giving us factual information but also allowed independent exploration so that we could choose our own ohoto opportunities at each stop.
The trip is just the right length and the sights are beautiful in the main. Sadly, the waterfall was a trickle as there has been less rainfall in the last 3 months, but we were still able to explore the area.
My son found the mummified monk highly enlightening and fascinated by the fact that he still has hair after 48 years.
All in all, I would definitely recommend this trip.

Highly recommended sight seeing tour of the island - We had a great trip around the island on our last day which killed some time before our flight in the evening. You get a short amount of time at each location (between 15 and 45 mins) which was just long enough but some might want more. The guides were great and water and cooling towels provided were welcomed on in 33 degree heat. We also had great communication from the operator via whatsapp.

You’ll have a good time and see all of sights on Saumi in 1 day. - Such a great tour! Our guide A was very knowledgeable and got us around the island with ease. We caught everything I wanted to see and quite a few things I didn’t know I wanted to see. If you want a day trip to see everything in Saumi, go with these guys. Great sites, awesome guides, and a yummy lunch.

Average experience - Not particularly impressed with this tour. The sights were okay and the guide did not provide much information about them. A bigger group than expected with all being crammed into 2 minivans with poor air conditioning. Not up to the usual standard of tours we have experienced so fat in Koh Samui and Thailand
