Thailand Explorer Trips

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.

The trip was well organised and we were well supported at all times . Our tour leader Ky was excellent , he made the experience a once in a lifetime .

Our recent trip was wonderful. We cycled Bangkok to Saigon and had a unique & very memorable experience. Our tour leader was Ky Lee; we were so lucky to have this lovely young man as our guide. He was outstanding in every respect !!

Phenomenal experience travelling through Vietnam 🇻🇳 from top to bottom with our excellent guide “Thin”. We hit gold with an enthusiastic, understanding & knowledgeable local guide. Thin is also a parent to a teenager, so he gets it.. our group was small, which was a fantastic given the hot time of year we traveled end July/Aug… due to UK school holidays.. Thin is a ‘foodie’ so we ate in the most amazing restaurants & no one got sick across the entire trip. He was flexible on the itinerary which was very much appreciated. Everyone we met across the entire country was happy & welcoming. Hotels were very centrally located. Drivers & mini van’s excellent clean & air con. Local tailors, glasses 👓, art - our guide had recommendations & guided us everywhere. We managed the heat better than expected throughout the trip. Hue & Hoi Han are beautiful small towns in central Vietnam French influence everywhere too. Hanoi was a baptism of fire especially crossing the road. All added to the charm. HaLong Bay / the fabulous overnight stay on the junk boat especially with sunrise TaiChi on deck. The beaches were disappointing especially the water.. but heavy tourist traffic is to blame which we contributed too.. Overnight train was clean & smooth albeit long, but safe with other tour groups. Saigon/HCM city is very western and more expensive etc but our hotel was soo central near TimesSq. Mekong Delta is fabulous & the home stay was out of this world with an outdoor shower! Vietnam has so much history, sad times.. the trip includes visits to museums, chi chi tunnels providing an insight into the past wars, eg 2025 marked 50 years since the American War. It’s important we remember those who lost their lives. Highly recommend this trip .. able bodied especially in hot temperatures. Vietnam is thriving & changing.. go before it changes too much.

A fantastic experience. Minty, our CEO, was absolutely wonderful. The variety of activities and cultural activities experiences was perfect. So was downtime on beaches and lakes. Can’t wait to book my next G Adventures tour!
