Very friendly country - The tour guide gave us a lot of information about the island, showed a lot and was very knowledgeable, spoke English slowly, we should understand his Thailand accent.

Highly Recommend!! - My tour guide was very informative. Since I was a solo traveler and it was just me and him for the day he did more than on the itinerary. He stopped the van and we picked cotton off the tree, I went into the waterfall, and most fun of all he left the main road and we went through the island instead of around it. We went all through the rain forest jungle. He stopped the van and let me take pictures whenever I wanted. It was an amazing day! Highly recommend!

Best tour of sites that Samui has to offer - I highly recommend this tour! The views, the experience, just perfect for a tour of all the special places that Koh Samui has to offer. The elephant trek at the waterfall is a must. My tour guide Mr Tony was very knowledgeable too!

Great summary of the Island - Great touring experience with Nahn ( I believe that is the spelling). She was very knowledgeable and fun to have around. She took us around the island with beautiful visits to the Momified Monk Temple, Chabeng Beach, Waterfalls with feeding elephants, and beautiful viewpoints, and stones well-known in the area. Before leaving she gave us indications on restaurants before heading back to the ship. The only inconvenience was a hidden fee of $22.00 (approximately) per person for transportation when all was supposed to be included in the initial payment. Ask before booking this tour: otherwise excellent choice.

A great way to get an overview of Koh Samui - This is a budget half day tour that takes you to a lot of the tourist sites on Koh Samui. It basically takes you round the island. We were in a full minibus and most stops were short allowing you to take photos and have a quick view of things, Generally sufficient time to see what you wanted to see. The guide was friendly and helpful.
The waterfall was very unimpressive but our son enjoyed feeding the elephants near the car park.

First Time Aussies in Koh Samui - With only a week on the island we had limited time cram all the sight seeing and activities into our schedule. From a quick review on trip advisor it was evident that previous Australian tourists had rated the tour highly.
The pickup from hotel was on time and the vehicle very clean. It was surprising for a week on the island that it was evident that taxis are in a better state here then back home in a western country.
There is some iconic tourist sight seeing locations around the island and given the distance the time frame is tight to fit it all in given the geographic distance between them. Some sights we spent only around 15-20 minutes which made it hard, but you have little choice given both the crowds and travelling distance to the next stop.
In saying that I would recommend this tour for anyone wanting to jam it all in under six hours in the day.

Disappointed - Went on this tour and was disappointed. Our guide even though she tried her best, her english was very difficult to understand. I know I'm in her country but english was offered as an option. The Big Buddha, the rocks, and the water fall all take you though tourist stalls. The Mummified Monk is cool to see given he's about 50yrs old and in the condition he's in. To us it was only average but can't complain about it to much given the cost. You do get your money's worth.

Total joke - Tour guide didn't turn up, only a non-English speaking taxi driver.
We only found out there was no English speaking guide when we arrived at the first stop.
Then spent 90 minutes whilst the driver tried to find out from his company, I think, what was going on.
I was then asked to speak to an unknown person who said I would need to pay another 1000 baht for an English speaking guide even though I had already paid for this service.
Still no refund. Eventually we gave up and returned to the hotel -day ruined.
One of the tour companies involved, and there seemed to be several, said ten days ago that a refund had been made, but it hasn't.
Avoid!
Avoid at all costs.

Bad experience - They only take every occasion to ask you money. When you will go on the elephant, you have to buy bananas to give them, you will see very sad show with elephant (and same for monkey) and you will need to give the “tip” for the show.
We just did the tour to see the tiger, even if to take a picture you needed to pay extra, but just during the trip they informed us that the tiger site was not available since a month....and when I call the lady to have some explanations, she hung up the phone with out answering.
The rest of the tour is nothing special.
