5Great six hour tour of the main points of the Island
Great way to see the Island and at our pace: doing all the same visits as others but so private and not rushed like with dozens of others. If you want a private experience this is a great way to do it. Very nice driver,’local and with great insights. A tip, when booking on the laptop the cost of the trip was significantly less than when booking on the app. So take a look, it may save you some $$ Lovely day.

Great private tour for just my husband and I. Picked up at port and very reasonable priced. Driver was terrific.
5Good experience
Good experience, driver was friendly and spoke good English, provided water, and followed my route perfectly, and waited at all our stops without issue.
5Good Shore Excursion From Port
Personal driver for the day in good quality air conditioned vehicle. Managed our time and visits well mindful we were on cruise ship so - shore excursion. Managed to see all we wanted (even though we were later than expected - due to sea tender). Bottled water provided. Driver was very good. Would recommend as great value for money.

About Koh Samui
Koh Samui is a Thai island in the Gulf of Thailand, with coconut palms, white beaches, a giant golden Buddha and a base for nearby marine parks.
Koh Samui, one of Thailand's largest islands, is ringed by coconut palms and beaches, with a hilly jungle interior. Chaweng has the longest stretch of white sand and the liveliest nightlife, Lamai is quieter, and Bophut's Fisherman's Village keeps old wooden shophouses by the shore. On a small islet joined to the north-east shore by a causeway, the 12-metre seated Big Buddha looks across the water.
Top-ranked sights in Koh Samui: Wat Khunaram (Mummified Monk), Big Buddha Temple (Wat Phra Yai), Na Muang Waterfall.
