Lovely experience.

Worth it!

This was a great way to spend one of our first days on the island, as it helped us be familiar with the islands and learn about the customs and traditions of the island and people! We were mostly interested in the beaches so our guide Haas took us to stops according to our wishes. It was just what we were hoping for. Totally worth it for our family of 6! Haas was kind and knowledgeable.

Great way to see the island and get transferred to your hotel from the airport.

A great tour of the island! We were picked up from the airport, saw the highlights of the island, and were dropped off at our hotel. Madison was lovely, very informative and I could understand his English very well. The driver, I didn't catch his name, was courteous and safe. The lunch stop was great as well.

Awesome short tour of Samui island with our driver Laem

Very easy booking, let us choose our own itinerary but made recommendations to make the most of our time. Our driver (Laem, excuse my spelling) was early to our hotel. We rode in a very nice, newer minibus with good air conditioning, and ice cold water was provided during the trip. Our driver spoke excellent English and communicated very well, and was able to share facts and points of interest along our route. We had plenty of time to explore each location at our own pace and he even took photos for us. The day ended with him bringing us to a local food market where he pointed out some of his personal favorites and even helped us order and get the food packaged up to bring back to our hotel. The service was above and beyond and really made our tour experience memorable. Would highly recommend for a private tour of the island with a local touch!

Hassle free tour

Highly recommend a private and customized tour. As group travels can end up pretty hectic and stressful sometimes. Especially when some don't agree to be back at the meeting point to a certain time. This is what we wanted to avoid. We were able to tell the driver which spots interested us the most. Driver was nice and the ride felt very comfortable throughout the tour.

Beautiful Chaweng Beach and Koh Sami

A great day with Heh that started right on time at Nathon Pier. Our first stop was actually a stop not planned in this activity that we booked offline… elephant feeding at the elephant sanctuary: this one hour experience was awesome. Our driver had “intermediate English” so I had the exact address and name of the site ready in Google Translate and that made it a breeze. Our driver waited for us and then was able to insert everything we had on our itinerary: Big Buddha and Wat Plai Laem, along with Hin Ta and Hin Ya and the Mummy temple. We wanted to see Chaweng Beach and Heh had the perfect area for the car to stop close by while we took a stroll along a public area of the beach (lots of people, but beautiful beach and water). He brought us back on time at the pier to board our ship. All in all an excellent half day tour we recommend !
