“At first, when the miserable man who picked us up in the minivan came I was worried, but the actual tour staff were fantastic. Patient for slow walkers making climbs to the viewpoints, looking after belongings at stops etc. The places visited are fantastic, a must visit if you are near Koh Samui, and the light breakfast and buffet lunch were great. Plenty of water for hydration too.”
