What can I say!?! I'm 52, my partner is a similar age and my son is 14 (professional teenager!) And this was simply one of the "BEST DAYS EVER!!!!" Johnny, our guide and the driver, was without doubt, one of the most beautiful human beings we have ever had the fortune to meet! This is a full-on day, taking in 11 of the highlights of Samui and a delicious Thai lunch in an amazing mountainside restaurant with jaw-droppingly beautiful views. It was I truly magic day, only made possible by positive energy and genuinely loving vibes of Johnny and his amazing team. His enthusiasm and knowledge was second to none. I spent the remainder of our trip telling anyone who'd listen to book it as soon as they could. I'm quite a cynical middle-aged Englishman and I was transported back to being a 12yr old boy! The day is full of surprises and I cannot recommend it enough for travellers of any age, who want to see the whole island. Thank you Johnny and your boys. As I've said before BEST DAY EVER! ❤️

Great jeep tour in which you get to see lots of sightseing spots of Koh Samui and a fun ride with jeeps. You just shouldn't mind to get wet as it also includes watergun game ;-)

Very friendly and calm driver. Took care of old papa. Only positive things to say. We can recommend him.

It was a great day out. Didn't spend a lot of time sitting in a car. Visited serveral places.

Great fun, well organised, covers lots of interesting tourists attractions!
