A great tour to see the main temples and Buddhas. Wan was a nice guide with lots and interesting information. The 'mom and dad' rocks didn't have to be for us. The waterfall was nice but unfortunately little water.

You will get a nice overview of the main attractions of Koh Samui. It was a little disappointing that the same guide tried to handle several bus loads of tourists with very little English skills.

We really enjoyed the tour to all the important sights around Koh Samui. The tour guide was very nice, well-prepared, and informative. The staff was very friendly and attentive overall, and we were given water and wet towels to cool off during the tour. The temple complexes are spectacular and well worth seeing, even if they are very busy. You learn a lot about the history and significance of the individual statues. It is essential to wear appropriate clothing that covers your shoulders. If you don't have any, you can borrow a poncho there if necessary. The waterfall depends on the weather, as it is not as spectacular during dry periods. You can also see elephants there, which can be fed bananas for a fee of 100 baht per basket. Unfortunately, elephant riding is also offered here, which we did not support. Otherwise, the area around the waterfall is extremely touristy. The Chaweng viewpoint was also very beautiful and well suited for panoramic photos. There is an ice cream truck on the side of the road that sells fantastic coconut ice cream. You can also go down to the rocks, but then it gets more stressful as time goes on. All in all, the tour is recommended, especially for the price, as the entrance fees are included.
Thank you very much for your detailed and thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour overall. Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and we’re thrilled that you found the tour worthwhile and good value for money. We hope to welcome you on another tour in the future Best regards, Tawan Oh-hoo Team
The tour was professionally done. I was collected from my hotel on time. We were well informed before each stop and the time spent at each one was sufficient. The driver and tour guide were very friendly and spoke English and helped with photos. A worthwhile experience!

I felt rush in each sight, with only 10 to 15 to explore and see; the guide was knowledgeable, I think, cause it was a bit hard to understand his English.
Very friendly guide. The times were right at each point, I think to know the different places is ideal.

Poorly looked after understands no English can not provide information. Just standing around off the beaten track or walking away from people.
