Fun, informative, comfortable and reliable tour for excellent price. - Pickup from hotel was punctual. Stopped at extra viewpoints with good air conditioned comfortable journey. Fun happy staff who gave us perfect time allocations for Buddhist temples. At the waterfall there were also elephants, shopping toilets etc. Our driver circled the whole island with several stops to view Dariun growing, various markets and overall a very enjoyable trip. Would recommend the staff and trip.

Great value, beautiful sites and lovely tour guide. - This was a great way to experience a lot in only 6 hours. And the cheapest thing we did in Koh Samui. The driver and guide were lovely, spoke fantastic English and were very insightful and educational. Their historical knowledge was exceptional. Would highly recommend. Great for singles, couples and families. Air conditioned, safe transport. They provided cold bottled water. Definitely wear appropriate clothing so you can enter the temples as they are exquisitely beautiful and well maintained. Shoes must be taken off so slides easier than sneakers.
