Great tour on Koh Samui with a great driver! - We had a great sightseeing tour on Koh Samui! Our driver Wat was extremely friendly, punctual and a very safe driver. He took us to the most beautiful places on the island and left us enough time to explore everything in peace. The tour was well organized and perfect to experience the highlights of Koh Samui in one day. Highly recommended!

Super overview of the island by brilliant guide and driver. Highly enjoyable. - Excellent overview of main sites on Samui. Guide Numee and driver were brilliant; organised, helpful and informative. Collection and return to the hotel made everything easy. A perfect way on first visit to Samui to get good overview. Lots of very interesting information given by Numee.

Great, would recommend! - Great tour, really enjoyed it! Bus was nice and on time. It's a half day tour of the hotspots. The tour guide Nikki was lovely and when some stupid tourist (me) dropped her phone down a long way she managed to retrieve it. Funny, informative, helpful and climbing skills - what more do you need in a guide 😉

Good tour - Feeling FOMO for sitting on the beach all day, every day? This inexpensive tour is for you! 5 hours, hits the highlights of KS. Offered with aircon van instead of the open air jeep benches. Enjoyed it, guide was nice and spoke passable English. Thank you

Good price/quality ratio - Fun tour along various temples with a waterfall as a conclusion. We were picked up on time and returned around 3 pm. Nice driver who drove nicely and a friendly tour guide. Definitely worth the money.

Basic tour, but friendly operators! - The tour guides were very nice and friendly, the driver was very kind. The tour it self lacked quite a lot of information for me, it was pretty much a self guided tour just being dropped off at the different sights. The waterfall is quite intense, so is probably not very safe to swim in. However for the price I really cannot complain, if you want a quick taste of some of the main sights on samui away from crowds this is great.

Look it was OK, but could be better - We were picked up at 9am sharp as per the booking and the driver had our names on the list so was a smooth pick-up. We were dropped at the first attraction but our tour guide Hart hadn’t arrived yet, so we were left to our own devices to look around the Wat. From there it all went smoothly, but apart from stops 2 (Buddha’s, temple & catfish feeding) and 6 (mummified monk) the others were abit meh for us. It was super warm which can’t be avoided but the bus was reasonably well air-conditioned for 9 people and stops allowed us to grab a drink or ice cream but that was about it. Ice water in the 10 seater van was awesome too. I feel like maybe reducing the time at each stop from 30-40mins to 20-25mins and then a longer stop at one location so that lunch could be had would have been better. Hart was lovely, and gave good information at each site, but I think having a microphone in the van and talking through any POI’s along the way would have kept us engaged and more informed on Koh Samui. Overall, was ok and kept us grateful for everything we have in Australia. We were dropped back to the hotel about 30 mins later than expected and were very glad to hit the pool!

Chance to Look Around Samui - Overall our experince on the tour was considered to be a bit above average. Pick-up was as scheduled. Very hard to understand what our driver was saying. (Credit to him because English is not his 1st language but also a problem because we were so far away from the tour guide.) A bit rushed but what was a disappointment for us was that there was little time at the water fall, the last stop. One suggestion to others: to make the tour more enjoyable, do a little research on the places you will visit.

No recommendation for this tour - The tour was underwhelming at best. It felt more like a basic transport service (which isn’t necessary if you have a rental car or scooter). The guide was difficult to understand due to a very low voice and poor English skills, and the information provided was minimal and unhelpful. I would not recommend taking this trip.
