Very Knowledgeable Guide!
Adisorn was an amazing guide! He educated us on the culture of Thailand, and really took the time to explain the significance of every site we visited. I wouldn't hesitate to book another trip with him. I'd also like to give an honorable mention to our driver, who got us safely and comfortably to each destination. Both of them were very personable! Thank you all for the memorable experience!

Private Tour TOTALLY worth the money!
We had an amazing private customized tour of Koh Samui with Krispol. One of the best parts was having the flexibility to make the day completely our own. Our guide was wonderful and happily stopped wherever and whenever we wanted, so we never felt rushed or stuck following a rigid itinerary.
We visited Magic Garden, Hin Ta & Hin Yai Rocks, Na Muang Waterfall, Haven Elephant Sanctuary, Plai Laem Temple, Lad Koh Viewpoint, and Big Buddha Temple. We were able to spend more time at the places we loved and move on when we were ready.
Having a private guide made exploring Koh Samui so easy and enjoyable.
Highly recommend a private customized tour if you want to experience the best of Koh Samui at your own pace!

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.
