Doing the Total Thailand tour I saw and learnt more about the country than I could ever have done as a solo traveller. Travelling as a group I have made friends for life and developed my confidence in going out to see the world on my own. I would recommend any tour with the team to my family and friends.

This was my very first tour, and it truly exceeded all my expectations. Over the two weeks, you get to experience such a wide variety of activities and see so many incredible places in Thailand. It’s the perfect mix of hiking, swimming, relaxing, exploring culture, enjoying delicious food, and of course, partying. Our tour guide Arthur made the trip even more special. He was amazing from start to finish – open, friendly, and so easy to connect with right from the very first meeting. Traveling with him honestly felt like traveling with a friend, which made saying goodbye at the end so much harder.

This tour was absolutely wonderful. We saw so many things, and whilst the pace was very fast moving I don’t feel as though I missed much of each place. We really made the most of our time in each place thanks to my tour leaders. My tour leaders were absolutely wonderful and added so much to my overall experience. This was my first time using Gadventures and I would definitely use them in the future. I would definitely recommend!!
