Private Customized Tour with Driver in Koh Samui

Nicholas_W, Oct 2026

Very Knowledgeable Guide!

Adisorn was an amazing guide! He educated us on the culture of Thailand, and really took the time to explain the significance of every site we visited. I wouldn't hesitate to book another trip with him. I'd also like to give an honorable mention to our driver, who got us safely and comfortably to each destination. Both of them were very personable! Thank you all for the memorable experience!

Koh Samui Sightseeing Tour Around The Island

Emma_C, Aug 2026

Perfect tour to see the main sights of Koh Samui

Jacky our guide was fabulous. Provided so much information, took photos and assisted in any way he good. The 6 tourist stops were so good...loved the Big Budda and the coconut ice-cream at Grandfather & Grandmother Rocks is a must! Good way to see the sights at a great price! The only downside was seeing the elephants at the waterfall....luckily we didn't witness anyone riding them (which was on offer), only feeding them. This was the only negative aspect for me and nothing to do with such a good tour...just been prepared if you're an elephant lover 🐘💕

Koh Samui: Angthong National Marine Park 42-Island Speedboat Tour

Ang thong marine park day trip

Great day out. Well organised. Wear decent shoes if you’re going to do both view points. Both are excellent the second is longer but views are worth it. Kayaking & snorkelling good fun. Sit at the back of the speedboat if you would prefer a smooth ride. Lunch is ok. Options to buy drinks & snacks at the first viewpoint stop, lunch(2nd viewpoint) & kayak stop. Pick up and comms very good.

Great varied day out

Trip with "Happy Samui tours". Well organised, despite fact we booked late the day before. Picked up on time, and a nice varied day out, Waterfall, Elephants, Jungle roads up to nice lunch & view point, Buddah and finally down to old riverside Secret Garden. Good staff, informative & friendly & all round a nice day trip out & worth the money. Sitting on the roof of the 4 wheel drive heading up the mountains - was my daughter choice for the thrill 🤣 .. and we survived, with a lot of screams and laughs. Nice trip "Happy Sumei" .. thank you.

Semi-Private yacht adventure to Ang Thong Park’s hidden treasures

Bruce_C, Jul 2026

Great experience for what it is but misleading advertising

Overall a 5 Star experience. Two, Ellen and Monkey-man are fantastic and honor of thier way to ensure you’re safe and having fun. Break, lunch and the snacks are great. The kayaking is a must and is one of the best things I’ve done in Thailand. Small downsides you should be aware of. Semi-private = about 35 ppl. The Red Dragon yatch isn’t what any American or European would think of as a yatch but it’s nice enough. Larger downside. The group is just a tad too large for the Red Dragon. Maybe 4-6 people less would be perfect but we were left standing at lunch waiting for a table.

2-Hour Koh Samui ATV Quad Tour

Brittany_F, Jun 2026

Great experience!

This was a blast and we’d highly recommend. It was a great to see the inner part of the island! On the trails we saw local houses, beautiful countryside, and villas being built - all things we hadn’t seen in our week visit to Samui so far. My boys ages 15, 13 and 12 were thrilled that they were able to ride themselves! The guide leads so there aren’t high speeds, which I was happy about as mom. We were picked up punctually and treated with hospitality. Our guide took videos and pictures for us.

Exceptional tour provided by a very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. His English language proficiency was excellent, enabling us to have meaningful conversations about Buddhism and Samui life.

KO Samui Temples & Scenery Including lunch

The trip was absoluteky awesome. We arrived late due to the ships tender & they waited for us with a smile. The guide was lovely she took us to some fabulous sites & helped me when climbing steps, she was really considerate. The meal we had in a restaurant looking out to sea on the beach was the best meal I have eaten, it was totally delicious. The roads are narrow & steep in places & the driver was briliant. The car was lovely well air conditioned as the day was extremely hot. We had a fabulous day Thank You Viator it will be a day we will always remember with much happiness.
