5.00Great tour focussing on the major sites with just the right amount of time at each. Emma was a fantastic guide and our driver Mr Bert needs a medal for driving in such a chaotic environment’

5.00Had a fantastic day quickly exploring the sights of koh samui. I really enjoyed the hosting of our guide Emma and driver Mr Burt. Was a great way to see all the main attractions quickly so we don't feel like we missed out on relaxing time. Despite getting a unlucky fortune at the mummy I really enjoyed the process. Here's wishing good fortune to Emma and Mr Burt for their expertise of local culture.
Informative and fun. Wonderful Samui. Great place to visit.

5.00Great value, awesome English speaking guide Yai and driver that picked us up on time and drove us around the island and safely back to our accommodation. Highly recommend this Happy Samui around the island tour.
Too long for a half day tour.

3.00A fun sightseeing trip overall, I think we could’ve done without the view point or the genitalia rocks, however definitely not a half day tour, more like a full day. We were picked up at 9:15am and didn’t get back to our resort until 3pm. We assumed it would be 4 hours as advertised, with being dropped back off around 11:30-1pm(ish). We understand that you can fall behind schedule due to traffic etc. but it definitely messed with our plans for the afternoon. Took about 20 minutes to get from place to place which ate up a ton of extra time. That should definitely be communicated in the itinerary prior to booking. I think if we had just done the Buddha temples and the waterfall, that would’ve been enough. Our driver (bus 1) and tour guide Yai were absolutely fabulous and they made it much more fun. No complaints about the hospitality, just the length of the overall trip.
Fun and efficient!

5.00Tour guide Yai and driver Rin were excellent! Very kind and helpful. Informative tour of culture in Thailand and on the island. Efficient and relaxing way to see the highlights of the island. Remember to dress modestly/ bring cover for 3/6 stops.
Thank you Elsa and Mr J!!!

5.00What a wonderful tour. Yai is a very friendly and funny your guide. He and our driver took very good care of us. We enjoyed all the stops, felt like we had enough time at each place, and we're grateful for the air conditioned van and cold water. Thank you!
