A pure wonder this island, full of things to see , and that beautiful visits , paradise island for lovers of beautiful beaches
Thank you for your review
Great value for money. Get to see lots of sights for a great price. If you want a long time at each site or a fully guided tour with lots of information this is not for you but if you're happy to see the sights and have a look around by yourself it's brilliant. Slightly confusing pick up as our information said hotel pick ups would be 30-60 minutes before. We assumed this to mean 8-8.30am for a 9am start but we were actually collected at 9.20am. We did try to ring but their line wouldn't connect so we sent a message and they replied pretty promptly to confirm our pick up time. Other than this, fantastic trip!
Trip Advisor/Viator apparently did not confirm the tour with the operator so we were not picked up as advised. Ultimately we were offered a private car tour by the local operator but that did not materialise. We were picked up and deposited on tour route 90 minutes after it commenced and joined a very ordinary short tour. Very disappointing.
Skillful driver. Smooth ride. Tour guide was also very friendly and informative about the historical significance of events and what they mean for citizens today. He was particularly patient allowing questions, breaks, pictures & shopping.
Well planned tour of some of the major sites in Samui. Comfortable, safe ride and great driver. Thanks ‘Man’. We thoroughly enjoyed the temples, and the rain storm was intense. The waterfalls roared! Awesome! We returned to the viewpoint once the weather cleared. Great area for pictures! Great experience and well worth the time.
Great way to explore the island with just the right amount of time at each location. On the drive and at each location, the driver/guide gave us information about where we were going and the history around them and then left us to explore our own way.
I liked the tour, since it was a good way to explore the island. Compared to taxi fees, it was cheap, when you don’t want to rent a scooter. My tour guide was nice and you could ask him anything at any time.
great way to see the top spots at a cheap price! Guide was kind and although his English isn't great, for the price its worth it.
Great guide and comfortable transportation. The half day provided a good overview of much of the island.
Easy and cheap way to sea some of the islands iconic sights however our tour guide basically was just a taxi driver who dropped us at each place. There was no real "guide" to it. At the bottom of the waterfall there's chained up elephants which I personally I didn't like. The weather wasn't great which didn't help. I came away from the experience extremely underwhelmed. However the mummified monk is worth reading and seeing.
