Thailand City sightseeing Trips

I would certainly recommend this trip. There were many highlights and we ate some excellent food during the holiday. I particularly enjoyed the Thai massage in Chiang Mai and later that day the cooking experience with the Raunkaew Family. The visit to The Elephant Nature Park was special and we were lucky enough to be able to participate in the annual Lantern Festival during the trip. The Buddhist temples visited were all so fascinating and set in such varied locations, not always easy to access with lots and lots of steps, but well worth the effort. Our time unwinding by the river Kwai on a truly special floating hotel was awesome and I really enjoyed the visit to Bangkok’s Grand Palace. Woody, our tour leader was tremendous. He had a really engaging personality and he couldn’t do enough to ensure everything went as smoothly as possible. He did have to deal with a few problems caused by torrential rain and flooding, which meant diversions and one or two programme changes, but nothing that spoiled the trip for us.

We had a great time. The itinerary was packed full of interesting and varied experiences delivered by a great tour guide. Woody worked hard to make sure we had a wonderful experience (despite the flooding which required work-arounds). Transport was via 2 small vans which were comfortable and well airconditioned - necessary for the hot weather and long distances covered. The hotels were all good and well located. Included airport transfers were also appreciated. This was our first Explore tour and we now understand why most of our group of 13 were multiple Explore users. Highly recommend this trip.

The itinerary was nicely balanced. It included the main sights in the places visited along with down time to rest and refresh. If keeping busy was more to your liking, there were many excellent optional tours. The coach was comfortable and kept clean. Loved the hotels. The Galleria 10 in Bangkok was in an excellent location, within walking distance to restaurants, convenience stores, and the sky train. Their 2 for 1 daily Happy Hour was a nice way to unwind after a busy day of sightseeing. Thoroughly enjoyed the other hotels which also offered pools for relaxation - in Kanchanaburi, Sukhothai, Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai. The hotel in Kanchanaburi was within walking distance of the famous Bridge over the river Kwai which was a bonus. The hotel in Chiang Rai was within walking distance to additonal sights not included in the tour as well as to excellent restaurants. All the hotels offered a good selection of options for daily breakfast as well as for the included dinners.

This trip exceeded our expectations with its interesting itinerary, amazing mix of cultural landmarks, breathtaking landscapes, and relaxing beach time. The tour guides were insightful and made each stop even more memorable, especially during the Sapa trek. A special thanks to Long Pham, who helped coordinate everything so seamlessly. He kept track of our journey, ensured we were well taken care of, and made sure we had all the support we needed throughout the trip. I highly recommend this experience to anyone planning to explore Asia!

It was a great trip!! our tour manager was incredible and all the other guides in each country were also amazing. Shoutout to our guide is Malaysia!! He was so passionate and gave us a great true experience of Malaysia. Bangkok to Singapore Adventure is a bit different from other contiki trips since we joined an already existing group and there were people joining and leaving throughout.

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!
