  • Efficient tour of Koh Samui!

    This tour is an efficient and great way to see multiple interesting stops of Koh Samui in one fell swoop! The temples were very close to where we were staying and we had no idea. Our tour guide, Yai, was very engaging and helpful. The tour is just long enough to see all the sights, but we liked it didn’t take up the entire day. The amount of time at each stop was appropriate as we never felt it was too long or too short. Our kids are 10-14yo and could even find things to enjoy at each spot. Especially swimming in the waterfall at the end!!

  • A great half day sightseeing Koh samui

    Very well guided tour hitting several must see spots in Koh Samui. Our guide Yai and driver Mr. Whit did an excellent job. I appreciated that they provided water and cold towels throughout the trip as it was very hot. The timing was good, not too long and not too short.

    Our guide, Yai, was wonderful! He was so informative and funny. We had the best time, and we recommend this tour for all ages! My kids (ages 8, 12, 14, and 16) all loved it! Peter was our driver. He was very friendly and helpful. Kept us cool and refreshed with water.

    We can highly recommend this tour. Our guide (Sunny) was knowledgable and good company, his English was excellent. 6 different sites were included within the bus trip. We got a taste of Thailand in 4 hours, all in all it was excellent value.
