Ming and Taro were the most amazing tour guides and really made the whole trip such a fun experience. It was such an amazing tour and I would definitely recommend, met some amazing people and made some once in a life time memories. Ming and her amazing crocs took excellent care of me when I injured myself and both were more than happy to help organize additional experiences and activities that we wanted to do on top of the tour. I couldn’t thank them both enough, I don’t want to leave :((

Taro and Ming were amazing individuals. I found myself to be older then them by atleast 10 years but they made much efforts to getting to know me and the whole group. I feel they looked after the group with a lot of care. I thought the Itinatry was well thought and planned. I feel the guides answered all my questions about Thailand. They were also very helpful, kind and caring people. I will miss them and I wish them all the best in life! I feel they both put the group first before themselves. I wouldn’t of changed a thing

Schöne Tour, ich habe das Gefühl den Norden gut erkundet zu haben. Einen geführten Tag in Bangkok wäre schön. Manchmal zu viele Tempel für mich. Chiang Rai wäre vllt schöner als Pai. Essen könnte mehr integriert sein. Doch trotz Verbesserungsvorschlägen fanden ich es einen sehr witzigen und kleinen abenteuerlichen Urlaub.
