The driver picked us up on time from the cruise ship and was happy to take us wherever we wanted to go. He waited for us while we spent time on another pre-booked trip to feed the elephants and was very good at planning our route so we saw everything we wanted to see before going back to the cruise terminal. would definately recommend
Dear Christin, Thank you for your recommendation! We are so happy to hear that your driver was punctual and helped plan the perfect route for your day in Koh Samui. It is great that you had enough time to enjoy the elephant sanctuary and see everything you wanted before your cruise departed. We hope to see you again! Best regards, Thailand Tours Team
The car was very clean and comfortable. Wut was an excellent driver and guide. He clean our seats and floor many time during the one day trip when we were out of car. He showed us the map and took wherever we wanted to go for six hours. We were super happy with his service. I couldn’t thank him enough.
Dear Bonnie, Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback! We are thrilled to hear that you were super happy with Wut’s service. He takes great pride in keeping the car spotless and ensuring our guests see exactly what they want to see. We will make sure he hears your kind words. Thank you for choosing us for your day in Koh Samui! Best regards, Thailand Tours Team
Our guide Pammy was very helpful. He took us to some amazing uncrowded places and to a fabulous place for lunch. It was absolutely one of my favorite days on a 3 1/2 month trip.
Dear Simone, Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We are delighted to hear that Pammy helped make your visit to Koh Samui one of the highlights of your 3.5-month trip. It is wonderful that she could show you some beautiful uncrowded spots and a great local place for lunch. We will be sure to share your kind words with her! Best regards, Thailand Tours Team
We rented a private mini bus with private driver for 5 hours to see big budda and temples drove vidre to viewpoint on chawing and stopped several places so also the waterfall with elephants Chaførren for just 10 out of 10 mega cute and friendly explained everything on the way this can clearly be recommended
Hej W1744P, Mange tak for den flotte anmeldelse! Det glæder os meget at høre, at I havde en fantastisk tur i vores minibus, og at jeres chauffør var både sød og venlig til at forklare alt undervejs. Vi er glade for, at I fik set både Big Buddha, templerne og vandfaldet. Best regards, Thailand Tours Team
We couldn’t find driver. He didn’t have a sign with our name on it. Spent an hour trying to find company or driver. When we did, they sent a different driver who turned out to be great
The driver picked us up from the hotel on time and drove with us exactly the tour points we had chosen. He also had a good tip for us (The Roof Samui), which we were very happy to accept! The driver was very friendly, extremely accommodating and very helpful; he helped me with my restriction (broken foot with cast and crutches) anywhere and anytime, so we could even drive with him into the mountains or jungle. There were even chilled drinks for us during the tour! It was a perfect day for us and I will remember it fondly. I would definitely book with Parallel Tours Samui again! 10 out of 10! Thank you, Daed (?), for the beautiful day on Koh Samui; the most beautiful day we have had here so far!!!
Safe Trip around the island. Driver spoke Little English but was eager to Show us things. Had a Great afternoon!
We had a great day with our private driver, we were able to do exactly what we wanted. I would highly recommend this company.
Nice vehicle. Driver was friendly but to say he spoke English was a stretch. There are a plethora of tours and drivers at the cruise port. Wait until then to book,
Booking a 4 wheel drive was a good choice. We got to the centre of the island on roads that would have been to steep for a usual vehicle. The tour driver was friendly and helpful. He listened to our itinerary and added extra stops that fitted in with our planned route. We had a limited time but managed 5 stops. The island was amazing. And the experience was calm and lacking crowds. Definitely better than the cruise ship planned option based on feedback from other passengers. Thank you. Sufie
