This was an amazing experience! I traveled with a friend, and we enjoyed our trip entirely. Our guide, Comson, was knowledgeable about the history of all of the sites and was excited to share the information with us. The itinerary was well-paced with engaging visits and balanced with downtime that allowed time to explore on our own. I would use these tour services again for sure, and visit Thailand again in the future.Show more

Excellent tour. Our tour guide was Eddie and Mr T was our driver. They really went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable and called ahead to the restaurants to ensure our dietary requirements were met. We have been to Thailand before but the sites we visited this time were new and truly beautiful. Definitely recommend. The only change I’d make is the days before and after in Bangkok where we explore at our own leisure, I would not make this part of the tour and let me people plan Bangkok if they wish as we were left staying were booked and then arranged our own tripsShow more
