What people love about Southern Thailand Tours for Seniors
- Thailand Culture and Beach Tour 9-Day
Thailand!!! I am impressed of the logistics by the Legend Travel Group. Everything was just as planned. the luxurious 5* Hotels were fine and the transportation as well. We`ll recommend Legend Travel Group to everyone who wants to travel to Asia!
Overall good organized tour. Our tour guide Amin was really friendly and helpful! We booked for Christmas season and we couldn’t enjoy the monuments fully because of the crowds but we had some amazing photos in Bangkok. The trip to Krabi was also pleasant. I liked the resort more than the actual tours (again it was super crowded). The hotel staff was very kind both in Bangkok and Krabi. Safe locations and very central. I definitely recommend the tour if you want to combine beach and big city.
