    Great half day tour with our excellent guide - Yai! Got to see some of the main sights around the island, including temples, big Buddha and a waterfall all in the comfort of a mini van and with very entertaining commentary. Definitely worth doing.

    Our guide, Sunny, was excellent! Loved that he gave an overview of the importance of each place we went. My only complaint is that the tour was advertised as 4 hours, but it was over 6 hours total. I wouldn’t have booked a 6 hour tour and was frustrated that it was so much longer than it was supposed to be.

  • An informative tour of Samui highlights

    We were collected from our hotel promptly. Our tour guide, Sunny, was very informative, amusing and very easily understood. We were shown a variety of local temples and given full explanations of each in turn. Next, we went to see the Grandma and Grandad rocks, where we had time to do a little shopping, and finally shown an impressive waterfall. We were driven safely, and given a bottle of water. A great experience., highly recommended.

    Great trip nice agenda was able to see a lot in short period of time. Didn’t feel rushed and also didn’t feel like there was too much hanging around at spots. Longer day that advertised ran over by two hours. Guides and driver were excellent and definitely value for money.
