Plenty to see in half a day - Great way of spending half a day seeing more of the island. Knowledgeable and friendly guide, comfortable van and good to finish with a swim at the waterfall.

We had a nice time - Tour was on time. Our driver did not speak too much english but the other van driver did so he was acting as a tour guide always when we visited the sites. Did not get to swim in the waterfall as there was only little bit water in the end on june. This is of course not the tour company fault. Overall it was a nice tour.

Good value for money - Great way to see some of the sights in Koh Samui. We had a comfortable van with AC and a knowledgeable guide who spoke good English. We visited all the locations expected and had enough time at each stop. The Na Muang Waterfall was dry as we visited in April and unfortunately there were chained up elephants near this stop. Our guide said he'd heard there might be plans to move them to a sanctuary. We did not photograph or engage with the elephant activities. Our guide was good at helping me find clean toilets. There were free toilets to use at other stops but apparently the ones near the Grandfather and Grandmother Rocks are the cleanest and just required a small fee approx. 10-20 Thai baht (worth the money). Very enjoyable trip we would recommend doing this.

Brilliant tour! - This was a fantastic tour, mainly thanks to our brilliant guide Eik who was funny and warm and engaging and who went out of his way to make sure that each and every person in our group of eight was happy. His explanations of the places we visited and the Thai culture and religion were really interesting. I’d definitely recommend this trip, and especially this lovely guide, to anyone looking to spend a few hours getting to know the history and culture of Koh Samui.
