Not happy with tour company....go samui tours. They are..=&/>$,4&

We booked the driver for the day. He was advised to take us where we wanted to go. But everything was an effort..There was always an excuse not to go somewhere. We had to be firm just to go to the Orthodox Church. He just wanted the day over. We were supposed to finish tour at 4pm..but it was completed ar 3.11pm.no explanation. I was disappointed. Tour company said they .were angry with him. But what about us? Dis not get to see the island properly..Nor were we compensated with another trip or a partial refund. Except "we are sorry".

City tour

You will get a nice overview of the main attractions of Koh Samui. It was a little disappointing that the same guide tried to handle several bus loads of tourists with very little English skills.

Interesting and funny tour

We really enjoyed the tour to all the important sights around Koh Samui. The tour guide was very nice, well-prepared, and informative. The staff was very friendly and attentive overall, and we were given water and wet towels to cool off during the tour. The temple complexes are spectacular and well worth seeing, even if they are very busy. You learn a lot about the history and significance of the individual statues. It is essential to wear appropriate clothing that covers your shoulders. If you don't have any, you can borrow a poncho there if necessary. The waterfall depends on the weather, as it is not as spectacular during dry periods. You can also see elephants there, which can be fed bananas for a fee of 100 baht per basket. Unfortunately, elephant riding is also offered here, which we did not support. Otherwise, the area around the waterfall is extremely touristy. The Chaweng viewpoint was also very beautiful and well suited for panoramic photos. There is an ice cream truck on the side of the road that sells fantastic coconut ice cream. You can also go down to the rocks, but then it gets more stressful as time goes on. All in all, the tour is recommended, especially for the price, as the entrance fees are included.

An informative and enjoyable way to see some of the highlights of Koh Samui in a morning.

The tour was professionally done. I was collected from my hotel on time. We were well informed before each stop and the time spent at each one was sufficient. The driver and tour guide were very friendly and spoke English and helped with photos. A worthwhile experience!

A succinct tour of the main sights on koh samui

A little mix up to start with, but once on the tour, guide (aiky) was very informative and chatty. Enough time at each stop to get the low down and the required pics.
