The best way to see the major attractions in a day - The only way to see the most of the island in a short time. Met at our hotel by our guide and driver, two very polite young men. The vehicle was clean and very comfortable, important for a long day. Everywhere we stopped, our guide thoroughly expained what we were seeing and was also able to answer our questions. Those he was unable to answer immediately, he used the net to find ghe answer. Lunch was included, the restaurant located by the beach, the food very tasty and the restaurant staff nice. Our driver and I believe it was his first day coped superbly with the traffic. I particularly want to thank our guide, I had some mobility issues and he was extremely kind assisting me where necessary. That aside, this tour is well worth taking.

The mini van was clean and comfortable. The tour was customized for our needs. Knowledgeable and friendly guide. They call d 30 min before lunch to make sure the restaurant was ready to receive us. We felt VIP.

Amazing - This trip was a highlight of our holiday. Our guide Nong was brilliant, incredibly kind, knowledgeable and hospitable. The sights and the lunch were all amazing and I loved having Nong explain to us the history of the temples. I highly recommend doing the private tour to really take it all in. Our driver was also fantastic, very polite and accommodating.

One of the Highlights of Our Honeymoon ✨. - Absolutely fantastic day out from start to finish! The team were incredibly flexible with the schedule, which made the experience so relaxed and enjoyable. The lunch was amazing, and as someone with coeliac disease, I really appreciated the gluten-free options available.
Our tour guide was wonderful! so knowledgeable about each location and took the time to give us a great tour everywhere we visited. She also went above and beyond by taking beautiful photos and videos for us, which made the day even more special.
Thank you for such a fantastic experience. We made some wonderful memories and would highly recommend this tour!

Koh Samui: Temples, Thai Cuisine, and Coastal Serenity - A nice, comfortable trip around essential locations of Koh Samui, well-planned. Lunch at a beautiful, quiet restaurant by white sand beach. Food was excellent, authentic Thai cuisine. Safe, comfortable SUV. Guided by knowledgeable tour guide and, we visited magnificent, venerable temples, unique blending of Thai native tradition, Hinduism and Buddhism.

Not a good tour. - Disappointing. Did not explain the visits. Did not provide information on the destinations. They discouraged us not to go to the mountains and see that area as there was no water but had no alternative plan. The driver was curt with us, spoke English but not to us. The guide and driver spoke to each other throughout most of the trip and we felt like tag alongs. The guide and driver were in their cel phone not related to the trip. We wish we had booked with another tour company.
