This was a good way to see Koh Samui highlights. I wondered if it would feel tedious being on an organized tour, but the tour guide won me over with her fun vibe!
The tour was good and informative; however, the driver asked us to give him an additional 1000THB for hotel pick-up and drop-off. We are not happy about this because the tour says it is free and so it should be free!

I got picked up and we eventually collected our wonderful guide Wan, I thought the tours was a circular guide of the island, it is not, it’s what’s on the leaflet only and straight back. We visited 2 temples straight off, and thought we were off to see a temple overlooking Chaweng beach, instead we ended up at fairly average viewing area and wasted 15 minutes there overlooking the beach, then onto a boring red brick temple not the Chinese temple of the shown on the sales brochure, the Grand father and Mother rock would of been good if the tide was out, but worth a visit, the temple with the mummified monk was ok, but the Namuang waterfall was crowded, not very big and worst of all they were exploiting Elephant rides there, the poor creature looked demented, after that straight back to the hotel, I personally cannot recommend the tour, the guide, driver and vehicle were good, but wish I’d researched more and paid for personal a custom tour.

Excellent tour, would highly recommend to see interesting and beautiful places on the island. We were picked up from our hotel on time by the driver. Our Tour Guide Wan was friendly and very knowledgeable. Every stop we made was great, although a little extra time would have been better.

I guess it's all about temples. But good guide who told interesting things. You sit well in the air conditioning in a van.

Bargain price but was a great tour. Driver and his offsider were good, gave us info about each place we visited when arrived. Water and cold towels handed out about stop 3 or 4. Clear instructions on how long we had at each place and what specific time we needed to be back. Would recommend.
