Bad experience

We had 6 pp. The driver was local and could not speak any english. He was assigned to bring us to different temples but there was no guide. Also lunch was arranged at the end of the tour very late around 3pm and we were so hungry at 1pm we stopped elsewhere for lunch and pay our own way. I felt for 60 sgd per person there should have been more organisation, a guide and a lunch at the appropriate time. For this type of service we could.have hired a local driver for 2200 baht and done the same. We paid 11000 baht instead.

Would recommend

A great tour that takes around the popular tourist attractions in Koh Samui. Enough time was given at each attraction and we seem to have avoided big crowds. A tasty lunch was included. Our driver was lovely but didn’t speak much English

Good if you want a quick look around the island.

It was a good thing to do, knowing it was a relatively quick way of having a look around but the driver wasn’t very friendly and the food served at the restaurant was bland and boring. The car was nice though.

They offered “ a knowledgeable and friendly local guide who will offer plenty of history information” but only a driver.

Don’t book this tour. They offered “ a knowledgeable and friendly local guide who will offer plenty of history information” but they sent only a driver with basic English speaking skills, very kind though, but the only information we received was the names of the places we visited. They offered 5 hours tour and the driver said it was booked only for 4 hours, but he agreed to 5 hours once we showed him the booking confirmation. We found out we could have hired a driver for 5 hours for 2.500 thb or 2.750 thb. When we tried to reach out the operator number, they were just asking us to call different numbers! Nobody was responsible. No tripadvisor, no Oh Hoo or any other operator involved. Don’t waste your time and money.

Bare minimum

Absolute bare minimum of service. Supposed to be English-speaking "tour guide" in a "private car" with cold drinks along the way. What it actually was: a driver who spoke bare minimum English, just enough to communicate how long we had in each spot (and only if asked). I tried to ask him some things about the spots, but it was fruitless -- I don't blame the guy for not speaking English, but don't call it an English-speaking tour... The vehicle --yes, we were the only ones in the vehicle, but it was a 10-person mini-van. (It was fine in terms of spreading out, but the ad made it seem like it would be more of a higher-end SUV.) Cold drinks? Only when we bought them when we wandered around one of the tourist traps we visited... At the end of the tour, he took us to a restaurant where the meal was apparently part of the tour -- but the guy couldn't tell me if we had to pay or not. (We didn't pay for the food -- just the drinks, which was fine.) But they never asked us if we had any allergies or if there was any food we liked/disliked. I suspect this is similar to other tours on the island -- it's not too expensive, but keep your expectations very low. You basically get a guy who drives you around.
