I had a great experience, I got what I’d signed up for - a feel for a real Thailand. Wonderful people, delicious food. I will be back one day! Thank you!

Journeys: Iconic Thailand was a fabulous experience!!! We had the most wonderful tour guide (shout out to Natthanan Chai Yenklom--the very best!!!!) who looked after every detail and made the experience comfortable and enjoyable for each person on the trip. I loved the varied activities--the home visit and cooking class in Chiang Mai; Ko Klang Island and Hong Island in Southern Thailand; and the amazing temples in Bangkok were particular highlights for me on the trip. I would do another National Geographic Journeys/G Adventures tour in the future!

Our trip to Thailand with National Geographic / G Adventures was an unforgettable, amazing trip. Our itinerary afforded us unique experiences to connect with local people and culture. Our CEO treated us like family and made each activity more meaningful and more fun.

Our family of four had the best time! This was the first trip out of the country for our two teens and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience – for all of us. Our guide, Zam, was organized, helpful, knowledgeable, and funny. We really appreciated his expertise and how well he helped us navigate many different places and spaces. Our group included another family with teens and people from around the world who quickly became friends. We really liked the pacing of this tour -- a couple of days in each island -- and the flexibility on some of the days to do things with just our family instead of being locked into a very tight itinerary with the group. We added on a couple of days to see Bangkok outside of this island tour and I think that is a must-do for anyone visiting Thailand. Our favorite parts of the trip were snorkeling in the islands, hiking up to see the views in Ang Thong park, beach massages, and eating fresh and delicious Thai food.

This trip is varied and covers a lot of different areas of interest, cultural, historical and natural. It is important to have realistic expectations of the overnight train and the homestay - neither are luxurious but that isn't the point. Our guide was very knowledgeable and very helpful, really looked after us and was thoughtful in booking us space on the train over the River Kwai which isn't routine. That day is particularly powerful and thought provoking. We did the skywalk in Bangkok in a free afternoon which is amazing. As you would expect there are some longish drives - up to 4.5 hours, so not too bad. Elephant sanctuary a highlight for me, homestay, River Kwai and Chiang Mai night markets also. Lots of temples!
