Excellent Half-Day Tour

5.00Our half-day tour was excellent and we were very satisfied. The price was very fair and there was no sales program at all, which we really appreciated. It was especially important to us that there was no elephant riding or any kind of animal exploitation. We received a lot of interesting information throughout the tour. Yai and our driver Krab were extremely friendly and attentive, always providing explanations, jokes, and refreshing drinks. Highly recommended.

4.00Yai was an amazing guide, knowledgeable and funny. The day ran really smoothly, seeing all the main spots of Koh Samui was great and meant I got to see everything in one trip with the limited time I had. The Elephant Conservation was good, very eco and the lady talked us through each Elephant (only 5, 3 Adults and 2 babies) and how they came to be in their care. Overall a really good tour. I would recommend taking some snacks with you, the light meal is sandwiches (which they were all gone by the time I got back to the loo so didn't have any) and fruit (watermelon and pineapple) which was nice but still take snacks! Would recommend this trip.
Great Tour

5.00We had the best day! Mr Rind was our super safe, navigating tight spots, driver. Sunny was our handsome hilarious Guide. He guided us through key spots on this beautiful Island tour explaining knowledge of the destinations with great depth and sincere enthusiasm. This was money well spent. Learned a lot and I understand Ko Samui better because of it. Thank you🫶🏼

5.00The free hotel shuttle was convenient, and we were able to see many attractions in just half a day, so it was really good. The guide was also very nice and showed us places that were good for taking photos.
