It is our first visit to Koh Samui and would like to get a feel outside of the resort but not sure how much there is to actually see from a cab ride.
It's worth it. I did a five hour tour with him and it was one of the highlights of the trip. Mr. samui is an extremely interesting and genuinely good guys, and you get to see a lot of the islands highlights - temples, waterfalls, Buddhist statues, famous rock formations, authentic markets. He will make the tour what you want it. We ask for some authentic street food, and he didn't disappoint.
Anyhow, you get a really neat look into thai culture, feel free to ask him anything - his story, his view on island life, his take on the thai protests, etc. can't say enough about what a nice guy he is
