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.
It was great!
In summary, this was a trip that surpassed all my expectations and have Tun to thank for making that happen!
Great experience, good balance of experiencing Thailand without excessive travel.
It’s an interesting country. We had many exposures to understanding the culture. The guide made a big difference.
GAdventures Nat Geo Northern Thailand trip was the first group trip I?ve taken and I was incredibly impressed with the thoughtful tour program, site selections, hotel choices and particularly the exceptional quality of the tour CEO and associated guides/service providers. I will definitely be booking with them again!
Great experience, really enjoyed it. Many things done right, so on balance would do again. Fellow travelers were fun and engaging. For improvement , other than comments made already: Packing list was not accurate to needs. No need for a money belt, no need for a warm jacket, no need for a travel towel, too hot for a rain coat. Could?ve packed lighter.
Great way to see Northern Thailand at a reasonable cost without having to do all the legwork! What made the trip go from good to great was the other travellers in our group. The 7 of us totally meshed together well and enjoyed lots of laughs and great conversations.
Keep including home visit and dinner. That was a high point experience. Also enjoyed cooking class Overall, wonderful trip thanks to ?TomTom?
An intense, full-on journey through the heart of Thai culture. Don't expect much rest or relaxation, but prepare to learn and see a lot!
