my understanding of a private tour....you have a guide telling you all details of area. The driver was last getting to our resort, think he should have phoned resort advising us that he was late picking us up
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re very sorry to hear that the experience did not fully meet your expectations of a private tour. We understand how important clear guidance and detailed information about the area are, and we regret if this was lacking during your tour. We also sincerely apologize for the delay in pickup and for not informing you in advance, as we know this can be frustrating. Your comments have been noted and will be shared with our team so we can improve both communication and service standards. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and provide an even more enjoyable experience. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team
Importantly, if you are expecting a guided tour with guide and information about the sights, as in the previous reviews, is wrong. However, we had a very nice chauffeur who had the necessary English skills to communicate with us. If you are looking for a trip to see the sights and snap souvenir photos, without any historical background or further information, you will like it. The tour took us 5h (including lunch). We looked at 6 sights and could even change no one, as we did not want to look at them. Per sight you have 20 - 30 minutes, which is enough to look at it and take photos. The sights are freely accessible and you don't have to pay admission anywhere. Somiz is summarized in this tour, really just a ride. Which, however, was so suitable for us. Also with the not too long times per sight.
We had 6 pp. The driver was local and could not speak any english. He was assigned to bring us to different temples but there was no guide. Also lunch was arranged at the end of the tour very late around 3pm and we were so hungry at 1pm we stopped elsewhere for lunch and pay our own way. I felt for 60 sgd per person there should have been more organisation, a guide and a lunch at the appropriate time. For this type of service we could.have hired a local driver for 2200 baht and done the same. We paid 11000 baht instead.
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We sincerely apologize that the tour did not meet your expectations. We understand your frustration regarding the lack of an English speaking guide, the late lunch arrangement, and the overall organization. This is certainly not the level of experience we aim to provide. The program you booked included a driver service with set stops; however, we acknowledge that clearer communication about the absence of a licensed guide should have been provided in advance. We also regret that the lunch timing caused inconvenience and that you had to arrange your own meal. Your comments regarding value for money are taken very seriously, and we will review this internally to improve transparency, scheduling, and overall service quality. Thank you again for your honest feedback. It is very important to us as we work to improve our services. We hope we may have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team

A great tour that takes around the popular tourist attractions in Koh Samui. Enough time was given at each attraction and we seem to have avoided big crowds. A tasty lunch was included. Our driver was lovely but didn’t speak much English

Great places to visit but no English speaking guide. When we asked the Fri er he referred us to the sign which explains about the site. I history of commentary about the city. The only thing he did was drive me back to the store where I left my phone, for that I was very grateful. The food at the restaurant was delicious and enough for 8 of us. No water or fruit provided as per your inclusions.
A nice couple of hours getting a sense of this island. Some nice viewpoints and beaches. A very nice lunch with a water view included. Was convenient that this tour was provided by the same company Highseas) that provides port services.
It was a good thing to do, knowing it was a relatively quick way of having a look around but the driver wasn’t very friendly and the food served at the restaurant was bland and boring. The car was nice though.
