The best thing I’ve ever done, especially when settling into a new country. New friends, new experiences, great memories!
As a first time traveler, it was an easy experience. Everyone on the trip was sociable and keen for a good time. My tour guide Tew was amazing!
This was my first trip solo and my first real trip overseas. Honestly it was amazing, Sonny our guide really made the whole trip as well as my group. Overall, The trip immersed us in the culture and the history. I found it really wholesome, fun and informative. We also had our nights out drinking and checking out day/night markets. Every aspect of the itinerary had it's highlights. I also felt incredibly safe even when away from my group. Great for a first-time traveller, solo and for a woman in her early 20s. The tour does move quickly though as the schedule is jam-packed. Great bargain and experience and I highly recommend doing the cooking course!
The long bus rides were totally worth the unique experiences we had on this tour. I feel like I?ve seen a side of Thailand that very few tourists get to see.
This was a great tour that covers a lot of ground in a short time! It?s a great way to go off the beaten path and explore. Highlights were the floating raft house, beautiful waterfalls at the national park. Our guide Ronny was amazing he was very knowledgeable and kept us all laughing throughout the trip!
In summary, just brilliant! I recommend this trip to anyone who wants to start a Thailand trip and gain some confidence into the travelling lifestyle! Great fun and good value. Thanks G Adverntures! Here?s to the next tour?
