Koh Samui in a hurry TOP!!!! - Everything was perfect. Very punctual pick-up. Small group: only three people. The time allotted for each stop is enough to look around and take photos. No guide. But the driver told us a little about the places. A quick tour of Samui, but completely sufficient.

Great value for money island tour. - Really well organised tip around the islands main sights, including three temples and some beautiful scenery and sights. Nice air-conditioned van and friendly guide. Stopping off for about 20-30 mins at each place, which is plenty, especially considering how hot it is. Great value for money. Pick up at our hotel was exactly on time.

Just another temple crawl - Love visiting temples but nothing spectacular, and probably my last Thailand temple tour. Interesting enough for those joining a temple tour for the first time. Guide Hart is helpful but hardly anybody can hear him perhaps except for the lady sitting on the extreme right seat on the front row because Hart was sitting in front and turning sideways towards her when he spoke.

Good introductory tour for your first stay on Ko Samui. - Good way to get an overview of the island in a short time. Although no tour guide was included, we were given information about each sight and had about 30 minutes of free time at each location.
