Wonderful Tour of a Beautiful Island - Outstanding tour of Samoa. Beautiful island with stunning waterfalls, meticulously cultivated gardens, and gorgeous beaches and ocean holes. Remarkably clean and well-kept. Chris, the tour guide, is an orator-chief in his village. He was personable, accommodating, and knowledgeable, a wonderful ambassador for his native country that he clearly loves so much. He also demonstrated the art of opening a coconut and sang some Samoan songs. Highly recommended tour of a splendid island destination.

Fantastic experience in Samoa - We enjoyed an incredible day of Culture, history, and friendship. George, our guide shared his life experiences growing up in Samoa to bring us closer to the people and lifestyle of the communities that we visited. He shared stories passed down for generations, and gave us a colorful emotional depiction of the nation's history and its colonial past. In addition, we were given the opportunity to snorkel in one of the most pristine locations in the world, the Sua Trench. I say bravo to Tai's tour company.

Excellent tour of Samoa - This is a terrific tour around the island. Chief Chris was our guide and we learned so much about Samoa and its people. The sites we saw were exactly what we wanted plus some we didn’t know about

Would have been a 5 but many things were closed because it was Sunday. I don’t blame the tour company but… - The guide was very friendly, very knowledgeable and safe. The vehicle was very nice. I didn’t give a 5 because they don’t warn you that the itinerary is different on Sundays. It is the same price for at least 4 fewer stops. You spend more time at the other stops and the open cave swim is worth the entire trip alone! But we weren’t even told we were skipping stops like the other cave in a church property until we were driving for an hour or more. Just say it is different on Sunday. Well worth it and a 5 next time

Small group tour of Samoa - Guide was friendly and very informative. Bus was comfortable and scenery was fabulous. However this was booked as small group tour of no more than 20. It is true that the bus we were on held only 20. However there were 3 busses of 20 that traveled together. They waited at every stop for all 3 busses to be reloaded before moving on. To me that is not small group. Because it took so long to reload all 3 busses we skipped several of the planned stops. Disappointed in what was advertised and the actuality of the tour.

Expectations not met / stations of the itinerary not met, although sufficient time - Unfortunately, the planned itinerary was not followed on the pretext that there was not enough time for it. That wasn't the case. Instead of visiting the 'dream beach' LALOMANO beach (which is why we booked this excursion in the first place), the hotel resort was 'served' by an obviously good acquaintance. Without an exact timeline, the travelers - after a relatively long drive - ultimately stayed for about 1 hour on a hotel's own stretch of beach, which really had none of the highlights - while Tai enjoyed it at the restaurant for lunch. Nevertheless - the tour guide was friendly, experienced and entertaining. Unfortunately, the island lacks bookable alternatives.
