It was a nic 4 hour tour of the island Highlights. Tje mpst intriguing was the mummified monk at thr red temple. No guide though so you pretty much soak it in for yourself. It's pretty much a bunch of temples and a waterfall. So manage your expectations. But it was worth what we paid for ot TBH. Not advisable for kids and teens it will bore them unless theu are into this kind of architecture and history.
Our driver Tonn was very friendly and drove us well and safely across the island. The very nice tour guide Wan informed us well and took great care of us. It was all interesting and we felt very comfortable.

The tour was as described. However, the elephant ride offered at the waterfall leaves you with mixed feelings. I think it should be pointed out here in advance in the description that one must necessarily go past an animal cruelty. It's just cruel.
Dear Lena, Thank you for your review and apologies for any disappoint caused on your day! Kindly clarify that the elephant riding at the waterfall is totally not a part of our program and we don't support this kind of activity at all. We hope to get your understanding that the activity provider is from another company that it is out of our control. We bring the customers to the waterfall is to enjoy the natural surroundings and refreshing atmosphere only please. Best regards, Jiggy
Nikki our tour guide was a lot of fun and absolutely fantastic. She keeps the mood lively and provides good depth of information. She was possibly the best tour guide we’ve had in all of Thailand. Just a pro tip, you can swim at the waterfall so bring a towel and swimsuit if you’re interested in doing that but you’re only there for around 30 to 40 minutes but enough time for a quick dip.
Excellent introduction to local sights and temples. Well organized tour with friendly, helpful guides and pick up and drop off at your hotel.
Excellent value for money and lasted from 9am until 3pm. Guide and mini van were on time picking us up from our hotel and we visited 7 sites over the island.
This tour was amazing. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and we had an amazing time. We were collected promptly and the length if time on the tour was just enough to see all the top highlights of Koh Samui. The size of the group was just right. We all had chance to ask questions, chat and interact with the sights. This tour is best for adults who want to learn the history of the island, its temples and a deeper meaning to the many symbols along the way. The atmosphere was great. A very calm and pleasant experience along trip and we got the chance to stop to take photos, explore, shop and get refreshments. Would recommend this tour if your in Samui :-)
