This was my first cycling trip - but it won't be my last! I had a fabulous time traveling with my friend and 2 other people (a very small group) the past few weeks. The highlights were cycling in Thailand - the roads are fantastic (seriously, they're better than in the US/UK...) and the countryside is beautiful, and the support team are fun and helpful; then Angkor Wat in Cambodia - just unmissable, and super to be able to experience them on bike; and then cycling down the Mekong Delta in Vietnam - literally hundreds of children running out to say hello, and an amazing variety of sights and smells as you cycle along tiny back roads.
14 Day Northern Thailand Adventure Ali and Taro went above and beyond to make sure each and every person in our very large group (22 people) had an AMAZING experience. They are both professional, helpful, so informative about the Thai culture and extremely kind. You’re in for a good time if you have either Ali or Taro! The highlight of the tour is hands down the hilltribe stay. This is something that is not to be missed and an experience that will stay with you forever. I would recommend trying to learn even small Thai phrases if you can so you can better communicate with this small community and get the most out of your stay. But getting to experience all the fun things on this tour including the markets, temples, river cruise, waterfalls, elephant sanctuary, the Grand Canyon and the Thai cooking class are all fantastic. I was a little worried about needing a certain level of fitness for this tour as it is quite active but it wasn’t as bad as I thought and there were always options if you weren’t able to participate due to illness or injury. Do be prepared though for a reasonable amount of walking/hiking but it is all completely worth the sweat! Also be prepared for Taro to tell you that the walk is “10 minutes” and it’s actually a 45 minute hike. We call these Taro Tales. Each of the accommodation places has a pool, air con and restaurants nearby which makes it easy to navigate and socialise. If you’re thinking about booking this tour you should absolutely do it. The value for money is unmatched and you will not regret it. Thank you Ali and Taro ❤️
Just finished the Thai Experience tour with Dan. Best experience of my life! Dan brought so much energy and enthusiasm with all things Thai, providing all his fun facts and sharing all his knowledge with us. He ensured we were all up to date with our plans for the day and was always checking in to make sure we were all enjoying ourselves. Could not have asked for a better leader! Accommodation was amazing!!! Floating bungalows were like you were on a different planet, surrounded by such beauty and ending the tour meeting the elephants was magical. To name a couple of highlights… the whole tour was a highlight! Highly recommend Thai Experience to everyone and if you can get Dan as your leader, you are winning!
