Customer Reviews
Immersive cultural value for money trip
Me and my partner really enjoyed this trip as we were able to see Bangkok and all of northern Thailand highlights. We were fortunate enough to be the only 2 people in a group for our dates and as a result we had a private tour of sorts. I have to say the local guides were accommodating and knowledgable, despite some difficulties with English, and especially Mr Kitti made sure to show us all the best of Thai culture and was very accommodating adjusting the schedule so we could visit the Karen tribe. The trip allowed us to get to know Thai food, traditional dance, music,Thai massage and religion. The hotels were superb and overall it was a worthwhile experience. However, I do have to warn you that particularly in the later part of the trip we felt exploited by some locals and guides who would introduce extras like boat rides in the floating market and Ayutthaya which were not on the schedule.
