Insane experience. Recomand
- Fantastic Thailand - 9 Days
I want to start by saying that I loved Thailand, and the itinerary for the Fantastic Thailand Tour was perfect. We covered a lot of ground in just 8 days and saw many of the key attractions that Thailand has to offer. The tour guides were fantastic for the most part—friendly, knowledgeable, and very accommodating. Several of them even took us to additional places that weren’t on the itinerary but that we expressed interest in, which we really appreciated and know they didn't have to do that. However, there were some negatives regarding the hotels. Two of the three hotels we stayed in were quite disappointing. I chose the 3-star option after researching all three categories (3-star, 4-star, and 5-star), and honestly, they didn’t seem that different online. This may partly be my fault for not upgrading. One hotel was so bad that I completely ditched it and booked another place. It was gross! The second hotel was bearable but still pretty bad; and it was in a terrible location in Phuket—up on a hill with nothing around, including no restaurants. When I arrived at the hotel in Chiang Mai (the really bad hotel) and realized I couldn’t stay there, I complained to the tour operator, but they weren’t very helpful or accommodating in finding a new hotel. Additionally, after much prodding, they finally refunded me what was probably one night’s worth ($55), even though we were there for three nights. At that point, I didn’t care about the refund; I just wanted to get out of there! I also didn’t love that we had to book our own internal flights; I feel like that should be handled by the tour operator. However, it worked out fine in the end. Overall, despite the hotel issues, I truly enjoyed my experience on the Fantastic Thailand Tour and would recommend it for its engaging itinerary and excellent guides.

Very nice balance of long travel days followed more settled sight seeing day. Loved the freetime options occasionally too, often tours are so critivall3timed, no sparetime to shop for souvenirs or just do as you wish. Arjan was a very attentive guide, going above and beyond to help some clients.

"We had an unforgettable experience exploring Thailand with our tour guide, who was truly exceptional. From Bangkok to Chiang Mai, our guide’s extensive knowledge of each location – from the ancient temples of Ayutthaya and the historic ruins of Sukhothai to the beautiful landscapes of the Golden Triangle – added so much depth to our journey. Every day was filled with fascinating stories and insights that brought each place to life. Our guide was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly accommodating and dependable. They made sure all our needs were met, and they were always ready to go above and beyond to make our trip seamless and enjoyable. Their friendly and warm personality created such a comfortable atmosphere, making the experience feel personal and special. The itinerary was well-planned and balanced, allowing us to enjoy both iconic sites and some local hidden gems. One small suggestion would be to provide a bit more water throughout the day, as the heat can be intense. Additionally, while we enjoyed the boat ride, the visit to the Laos market felt less aligned with the overall itinerary. Nonetheless, we are deeply grateful for all their efforts in making this journey memorable, and we’d highly recommend them to anyone looking to explore Thailand! Thank you🙏
