Best half day tour ever
Karl S,,Jan 22, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00This was a perfect half day tour of the island. Our driver, Mr Thai, was pleasant and very informative of the sites, customs and history of the area. We selected about nine different sites and he crafted our trip as a big loop around the island. The van was new and spotless, with four reclining lounge seats with adjustable foot rests. Very comfortable ride.
Perfect tour of Koh Sumai

5.00The guide was excellent. Tailored the day to what we wanted, helped us out exchanging money so we could get ice cream, gave us a coconut drink and came back after he dropped us off because e we left a phone in the car. He was very friendly and very knowledgeable.
Great highlight tour of Samui

5.00Our driver/guide Petch was very nice, good English, and accommodating. He took us to see elephant sanctuary at our request then circled the island with several stops. Safe driver and helped us with ATM and snacks. He worked hard to answer our questions and Explain Buddhism. Highly recommend Petch and tour.
We fell in love with Koh Samui!

5.00Petch was our tour guide & he was absolutely the best! We told him what we liked to do in general & he guided us to everything we loved! We could totally see ourselves living here one day & I’m confident his tour was a big part of that. He had a ton of knowledge, took us to a Michelin Star rated restaurant (we are foodies) and all the best shopping locations. He was able to answer all of our questions & was so kind. Will recommend the island & Petch to everyone!

Awesome sightseeing tour

5.00I spontaneously booked a sightseeing tour on the second day of my arrival on Koh Samui. Shortly after booking, I was contacted via WhatsApp and given all the further information. (Especially the reminder that you should wear appropriate clothing when visiting temples.) Our wonderful guide, Aekky, was funny and told us great things about Thailand and Koh Samui. He also gave us a short language course with three words we could use (sorry, thank you and hello). It was a really funny tour. I can recommend this tour to everyone, to see beautiful attractions of the island, especially if Aekky is your guide.
Formidabile.

5.00Very professional! He waited for us at the tender drop-off and was completely at our disposal. He took us on a tour of Koh Samui in a new, luxurious, and very comfortable minivan. We were in Koh Samui on January 7, 2026. Italian family

5.00Petch was an amazing tour guide and ready to plan our day on the fly. He worked with us to ensure we saw all the sights we wanted and suggested more and kept us on track. I'd highly recommend working with Mr. Samui to get a good feel for the island with a knowledgeable and friendly guide!
