Had our tour of Koh Samui today with our guide Sixsun, or Mr S, … he was an absolute star - very advocating, very thoughtful, checked what we wanted and delivered & more with a suggestion of seeing trained monkeys climbing the trees to get the coconuts down …. excellent, highly recommended

An excellent tour with an excellent guide, Nat.
Experienced a great deal, but it never felt rushed. Made us want to come back and stay for longer.
Thank you
Lluis_C, Mar 2026
Petch was the perfect host, very accommodating and easy going. Planned the day for us based on our preferences and packed a day of sightseeing in a record time, showing us that Koh Sami is worth coming back. If u prefer less sightseeing and more beach or shopping, Petch was happy to do that too.
Totally recommended to everyone and every taste. And cheaper to go the 2 of us in an air coned big car, than it was to book a cruise excursion. 👍👍👍
Christine_G, Feb 2026
Wonderful! Our guide was very good. He helped us plan an itinerary based on our likes and interests. We had a great day on the island because of our guide. Clean, comfortable vehicle too!

Piotr_G, Feb 2026
Wonderful experience thanks to our guide and driver. Both extremely nice and helpful. Tour itself also very interesting and intense. Great experience of driving on top of the car roof. I recommend it.
Linda_B, Feb 2026
We had a limited amount of time as we were on a cruise. The private tour with Bin proved to be the best use of our time to see Koh Samui. We managed to see almost all highlights in our 5 hours. Bin was professional, knowledgable as well as being very kind and polite.

Lam was excellent..He speaks good English, has a lovely mini bus with great AC. Lam took us to the popular sights Temples being amazing. He also fitted in a beach he recommended,It was exactly what we were looking for. Quiet pretty and a restaurant made it complete. Lovely day. Thanks Lam

Lovely 4 hour experience with our guide exploring Koh Samui. Sixsun was kind and knowledgeable and very flexible. He had ideas of where to take us and let us prioritize what was most important. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a way to explore the island with limited time! Also, the car was great and had powerful AC which we really appreciated in this weather!
Rose_T, Feb 2026
Super nice guide! Very flexible. He took us to relevant and interesting sites. Guide had great insight.
Karl_S, Jan 2026
This 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.
Pamela_A, Jan 2026
The 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.
Doug_E, Jan 2026
Our 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.
Kayleen_M, Jan 2026

Our customized itinerarynwith time limitation was accommodated and the guide quite informative & responsive to our questions
Pat_M, Dec 2025
Our driver/guide Nat was extremely thoughtful and made our visit worthwhile. The elephant sanctuary was not on the schedule but he made sure we were there first thing in the morning and we avoided the tour groups. We wanted to visit temples and we sure did! All of them different and interesting. The day went very fast. Koh Samui is definitely a must see in Thailand!
won_p, Dec 2025
Driver was very informative and attentive. He covered a lot of sites in the limited time. I would definitely request him again.
Don_L, Nov 2025
My husband and I took the 4-Hour tour of Koh Samui and left our itinerary up to the guide. Natty did an amazing job. Everything went very smoothly picking us up from the cruise port, and she asked us what types of things we liked to do and then she picked perfectly where to take us. A wonderful experience and Phi Nat
...Natty... is awesome! Thank you!

Jeffrey_F, Nov 2025
Our driver, Tony, was very flexible and brought us to as many sites as possible in the limited time we had. As he was driving from one site to the next, Tony explained what we were going to see.
We really enjoyed ourselves and beautiful Ko Samui.
Cheryl_S, Nov 2025
Wonderful way to experience the island without hassle. Our tour operator provided us with friendly and professional service and background information about each site we visited. Our only complaint is that we did not get WiFi as indicated in the tour description.

Totally recommend. Flexibility to do what we wanted was awesome. Driver “Sixson” met all our needs. Very knowledgeable
David_K, Oct 2025
What can I say, Kai was our fantastic guide for the day and really enhanced our experience, his infectious positivity and knowledge of the sights gave us a better understanding that we would have got by just self guiding ourselves. Great day out and well worth it.
Krista_T, Jul 2025
Our guide was so helpful, friendly and informative. We had a lovely day and got to set our own pace and select what we wanted to see. The car was nice and the guide was the best!
