Your thoughtful feedback is greatly appreciated, and we'll be sure to share your kind words with our team. Knowing that their efforts made a positive impact on your visit will mean a lot to them.

The itinerary was fine, the bad thing is that the temples were overcrowded. But I’m giving 3 stars because of the following reasons: The whole tour the driver kept tailgating cars on the road, overtook cars on prohibited areas and went over the speed limits. Very dangerous driver. They also took us to the karen village and that was out of the itinerary. It was optional to pay but I lost time there and that was not what I hired on viator.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you found the itinerary satisfactory, though we’re sorry to learn about the concerns you experienced during the tour. We take driving safety very seriously, and your comments regarding the driver’s behavior are concerning to us. To help us identify the specific driver and take the necessary steps for improvement, we kindly ask if you could provide your booking reference number. Regarding the Karen Long Neck village, we would like to clarify that this stop is optional, and guests are free to either visit the Karen village at no additional cost or choose the Long Neck village with an optional entrance fee. We apologize if this was not clearly communicated and if it caused any inconvenience or loss of time during your tour. Thank you again for your feedback. Once we receive your booking reference, we will investigate further and do our best to improve our service.
This is definitely a DIY tour. While the guide definitely offered a little info and context, you pretty much are going thru at your own pace, which is both a draw and a miss for me. On the one hand, I enjoyed doing things on my own, but I would've liked to learn a bit more about the history of each location. I also think the tour could benefit from more explanation of what's happening as you go from stop to stop so that you have an awareness. I wish they had had Halal options for a few people in the group - I felt bad that nothing was prepared for them. I recommend the tour company make that aparent on the listing. On the plus side the van is very comfortable and well air conditioned. The guide and driver were very kind and tried to make sure everyone was comfortable. For an extra 500 baht, you can ask to bring your luggage with you. I was able to get to my hotel easily from the last stop of the tour.
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear that you found the van comfortable and that our guide and driver were kind and attentive.

Please rest assured that we will take these comments seriously and work closely with our team to improve the quality of information and guidance provided. Regarding meal options, we’re sorry to hear that Halal choices were not available for some guests. We agree that this should be clearly stated on the listing, and we will update the information to ensure future guests are aware. Thank you again for your thoughtful review. Your feedback helps us continue improving our service for all guests.
