1. Ko Samui Island Full-Day Cultural Experience with Pickup
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 3 reviews
On An Authentic Samui Experience you will avoid the crowds and explore the cultural landscape of the island, seeing it from a local perspective. The early start is a great chance to spot monks walking barefoot around the neighbourhood while the local people make merit offering them food. This is the ideal time to miss the noisy crowds, by visiting the local temples at a more solitary, reflective hour. Take in the magnificence of the Big Budda and Wat Plai Laem Temples as they should be; in peace. Visit the Hinta Hinyai (Grandmother & Grandfather Rocks) and discover parts of the island that you didn’t know existed. This tour also gives superb photo opportunities. Capture uninterrupted and gorgeous photos of the sites without the busy crowd. *the tour starts early in the morning but to experience the island at this time is truly beyond compare. you'll also be left with a full day of leisure and enjoy your hotel/ villa’s facilities all throughout the rest of the day.

It was great experience to get the private car from Samui Airport to our hotel in Chaweng. It's easy to find the guide who was at the arrivals with our names on a signboard. Only take less than 5 minutes until the car arrived to pick us up. We also booked the return 3 days later to the Airport Definitely recommended!

Our driver was great. He was waiting for us on arrival, van was clean and modern, he had lots of local knowledge and was very accommodating. He took us to all the local highlights (we were off a cruise ship and had limited time) and more. Great way to see Koh Samui in a short time. Would definitely recommend Koh Samui Tour and Transportation. We travelled in January, 2020.

It is free for Thai people. Why should foreigners pay 200 baht to enter a shopping mall. It is not a real floating market but made up for tourists.

My guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. He and his driver picked me up, and dropped me off, at my hotel, even though it is well north of downtown. The Grand Palace and Wat Arun are amazing. I strongly recommend this tour. Be prepared for a LOT of walking.

Overall this is a very good way to see more of Thailand and enjoy the culture. The activities were well timed and the lunch was great. Guides were knowledgeable. James Bond island is somewhat overrated and it gets crowded at times. I found the visit to Koh Panyee quite fascinating
