This is probably best organized tour I've ever been on! The pick up was on time, we got to each activity on schedule, the tour guides had helmets, torches, raincoats all ready, drinks, snacks and fruits served throughout the day, lunch was delicious! We've done so much in a day (cave walk, James Bond island, canoeing, village walk, lunch in Kho Yao Noi and swim in Kho Yao Yai) but it didn't feel rushed. My highlight was the canoeing with the local and the lunch stop. The speedboat can get tiring from the speed and bumps but good time to take a nap. We loved this tour so much we booked Kho Phi Phi with Siam as well in a few days time. Highly recommend they are great!!

Transportation there and back was great. James was my guide. I actually had him twice and he was lovely both times. You get to spend a good amount of time at James Bond to take lots of pics and enjoy the scenery. Some local people canoe you around the island and then you have a buffet lunch on a separate island where they tell you about the people there. Lovely day.

Our guides for the day were brilliant - knew their stuff, but also knew how to have a laugh. The trip was well organised and flowed well from one activity / location to the next. Pickup/Dropoff was bang on time and comfortable.

This is a very comprehensive tour. Every tour and sites promised were delivered. The tour company staff were all friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this tour.

It was an amazing day ! Early morning tours are best as you avoid all crowds! Super recommend!
