Highly recommended.

We booked this activity the night of. It was during the rainy season so it was only my brother and I. Benja was super flexible and planned everything including our crossing into Laos without a visa. The tour itself was very informative and we really appreciated how knowledgeable Benja was about the temples and the golden triangle. We learned a lot! Overall, Benja was super friendly yet professional and very kind. Highly recommend booking with her.

Wonderful Tour

Benja is a fantastic guide. After an easy hotel pick up we had a fun and very informative personal tour of the stunning White and Blue Temples as well as The Golden Triangle, lunch and more. I recommend the optional boat ride on the Mekong River and visit to Laos. Thank you Benja for a great day!

Fabulous!

Benja was early to pick me up, explained the plan for the day. Since I was the only one on the tour, I could customize. Benja explained (in good English) the costs and I decided to add the boat trip into Loas. She was very attentive and informative answering all my questions. She also kept me from overpaying for souvenirs. This was a full day, but I never felt rushed. The boat trip to Loas was interesting, but not at all what I expected. (All the more reason to go.) The temples were magical and the ancient temple was a marvel. I was able to book her for the next afternoon to see some other sites. She was that good!

Golden triangle and more most wonderful trip!

I would rate this trip as a 5 because of the wonderful English speaking guide Benja. She is knowledgeable and knows the area well. She took us to all the main sites most people want to see. Loved the White Temple, visiting the tribal people and seeing how they live. Visiting the Golden Triangle with the tasty meal overlooking the Mekong river and visiting the Opium museum. Loved the long tail boat ride up and down the river and a stopover in Laos without a VisA. Visiting different temples Blue temple and such all in an air conditioned car with a wonderful guide. My wife and I thank you for the day Benja!
