5.00An amazing customised trip with guide Tony and driver Tong. Nothing was too much trouble with a 10 month old in tow! Tony recommended Koh Samui key spots in the time we had. The van was very well air conditioned and most welcome in the heat! Only sour point was a Viator adviser declining us being picked up at our own hotel which was 5 minutes away from the Ritz and where we had to eventually take a taxi with baby. This was not something that was required I was told as we actually went past our hotel after pick up anyway (so a little annoyed). However this was not the guide/drivers fault but more Viator’s policy .
Highly recommended private tour for families

5.00We had a great day on our private tour with Mr. Samui. We were picked up on time and traveled around the island in a comfortable, well air-conditioned bus. Our guide, Sixsun, was very friendly and planned the itinerary together with us. We visited beautiful viewpoints and temples, stopped at a beach for a swim and lunch, and even made a spontaneous stop for fresh coconut ice cream — a fun and authentic touch. Highly recommended, especially for families with young children. We saw a lot in a short time while staying comfortable in the heat.
Songkran celebrations with a former Buddhist monk - life changing.

5.00It was such a gift to experience this tour on Songkran. Our guide went above and beyond to find us experiences (meeting elephants) even when businesses were closed for the holiday. Thank you for being so accommodating and generous with us.
Great custom tour! Our guide Awan knew the island well and kept us on time.

5.00Awan was our guide and provided a great custom tour and lunch place for us. He advised well on our time available and avoided a huge traffic jam so we returned to our ship on time. We enjoyed talking with him about many subjects. He was very pleasant and we enjoyed his company. We would highly recommend him!
An all-round successful day

5.00Thank you for the wonderful trip ☺️. Our guide was Nat. He was very individual to our wishes and thus allowed us a few nice hours on Koh Samui. We could visit many sights. It was also great that he introduced us to some Thai delicacies. So he spontaneously bought us the fruit “rose apple” and “fried bananas” – even with coconut wrapping. It all tasted very delicious 🤤 Many thanks also to our driver (unfortunately we don’t remember his name 🫣). He was very careful and prudent.
Excellent excellent excellent

5.00We had booked the six-hour tour by jeep and can make our very clear recommendation! Our guide Nat could speak German very well, was relaxed, informative and friendly. We particularly liked that he was attentive to our needs and we were able to discover some beautiful places of Ko Samui. Our driver did an excellent job and drove us safely to all places, which was a challenge in part due to the terrain. This trip is definitely worth it. We are happy and satisfied. Note for all waterfall fans : The way there is about 2 km through the jungle and is really challenging. No flip flops!
Book this company! Great family business.

Our guide was fantastic, great company! He took us to a lovely resturant right on the sand amazing secluded beach. It was like a secret! The food was outstanding! Special goes to the actual vehicle! What a luxury! Book this company!
