What people love about Southern Thailand Tours for Seniors
- Thailand Culture and Beach Tour 9-Day
Very well organized travel group!!! We booked our trip to Thailand through Legend Travel and could not complain about the service we got from our guide. Everything was very clear and we knew exactly at what time we had to be somewhere in order to catch our transfer in each city we arrived. The proposed trips we booked…Damnoen saduak Floating Market in Ratchaburi is amazing, "must-see" attraction in Thailand. We had great time on beach in Phuket! A lot of fun at Phi Phi Island! Highly recommend this package to anyone!
- Thai Island Hopping

My husband and I traveled with G Adventures to Southern Thailand. What a trip! We traveled by plane, and ferry, and vans, long boats, kayak, and tuktuk! Yes, it blew my comfort zone right out of the water, but the whole time we had the comfort of a local guide who spoke the language, explained customs, arranged our travels and made food suggestions. We had wonderful company with the other people on our tour, which also added to the fun. I wasn't sure I would enjoy traveling with a group, but I would not hesitate to do it again with G. We saw and experienced so much more than we would have on our own.
