We made this tour because we wanted something more local and out of the tourist pattern. According to our guide we were the first to book since the pandemic. And it was a grateful surprise, as we went to very little known but very beautiful places. Our guide was very friendly and our driver very friendly and safe. I recommend this trip to everyone!
It was the best tour I have taken in my two months of being in Thailand. An amazing guide and beautiful sites. It truly was a prefect day of street food snacking and site visits. She also gave amazing information, I learned more about Thailand in this tour than all of my other tours here. I have already booked another trip through this tour company.
We had an excellent all day tour visiting many interesting different sites. The transportation was in a new clean SUV with refreshments and cold towels provided. Our guide was excellent, Khun Peter provided very interesting details and stories that made our tour very memorable. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for an fantastic day outside of Bangkok.
