Great taste of Thailand! Still managed to cover a lot of interesting places. Sek was an absolute legend, super organised and knowledgeable and made the entire experience an absolute breeze.
The guide was really knowledgeable and was able to tell us about the history of all the places we visited. The itinerary was good and we were able to see many sights and places that we would not normally see if we had booked on our own. The bus was also super comfortable and the driver was helpful and excellent on the road. The hotels that we stayed in were 4 stars and I would highly recommend this tour
I had the best time on the Northern Thailand 14-day tour. It was so relaxing, and I felt completely safe knowing that wherever our tour guide took us would be amazing. I loved supporting local communities and learning about Thai culture in such a personal and meaningful way through our guide.
Some of the highlights for me were hiking to waterfalls, visiting temples, feeding and washing elephants, going river rafting, and so many other unforgettable experiences. My favorite part was hiking up to a small village in the mountains, meeting and getting to know wonderful people, and playing with local children.
Our tour guide also suggested the best restaurants and bars. I loved traveling with so many new people, many of whom I now call friends.
I’ve already recommended this tour to my sister, and I just hope she gets a tour guide as caring and organized as Smile (my tour guide). He shared personal stories that helped us understand the culture through his own experiences, and he was always patient and happy to answer our million questions.
He made sure everyone was safe, whether it was looking after us when we were sick or making sure we got home safely after a night out. He was also incredibly accommodating when it came to any extra wishes or concerns.
Smile was both a caring friend, opening up to us on a personal level, and a great leader who was organized and supportive in every way. He shared so much about the history and culture, making the experience truly meaningful.
I’m so glad Smile was our tour guide and so glad I took this amazing tour.
Culturally enriching tour with many interesting diverse activities. It was wonderful to be in the rural areas and to see how the people live in the little villages. Thailand has a fascinating history and this tour provided very good insight. Thai people are very welcoming, humble and kind. A good level of fitness is necessary to enjoy the trekking experience.
Starting off in Bangkok and ending in the north, Chiang Mai, you are in for a jam-packed 8 days. Experience some of the best highlights of Central and North Thailand.

There’s a reason this trip was the one that started it all, and still remains one of the most popular. On this 15-day adventure, you'll discover Northern Thailand, experience the chaotic metropolis of bustling Bangkok, trek among the hillside villages near Chiang Rai, drift down the River Kwai in Kanchanaburi and see the historic temples of the Siam Kingdom. With welcoming hospitality, local experiences, mouth-watering cooking classes and plenty of free time to travel at your own pace, come along and see why this trip was, and still is, a benchmark for all our adventures.
This was an excellent trip to Thailand! All of the details were arranged! The tour guides were knowledge locals. It was nice not having to arrange any of the drivers. The hotels were all nice, clean, and comfortable. The tours were well chosen and all of the locations were excellent! I highly recommend and I would go again!
I really enjoyed the trip but it was more intense than I thought it would be! Nice to have the different side of seeing the tourist activities as well as the hillside tribe villages. I really enjoyed the hike although it was more challenging than I was expecting from the description given!
This trip was absolutely amazing! From the local tour guide, whose passion shown through when she shared different aspects of her country to the places we visited, I can’t imagine a better experience
It was well organized, lots of different activities, biking, cooking, temples, etc. Days were busy but I was expecting that. It matched the infos on the website. Our guide was simply amazing. We discovered a great country. It was my second tour with this company, certainly not my last.
We had a fabulous couple of weeks in Thailand with Explore. The tour visited most of the places we had hoped to go to independently but cut out all the stress of trying to organise it. There was enough unstructured free time to do a few little tours of our own. Our tour guide Super Jeff was fantastic and the whole group were really sad to say goodbye to him at the end. Lots of fun opportunities to travel on or jump into water. Other members of group were interesting and fun. Lots of great food. The two night train trips were surprisingly comfortable and easy. My family loved the Thai boxing morning. Good mix of culture, adventure, beach. The only disappointment was the day boat trip to Ang Thong marine reserve - very busy and touristy, long time on big boat, food not great and the snorkelling was almost non-existent. We wished we'd taken the day off on our own to spend more time on the beach or take a proper snorkelling tour.
