My guide listened to all viewpoints and was attentative too. Also made an effort to get everyone involved in all activities and not to feel left out. Guide was open to all questions and was knowledgeable about the Thai culture. Furthermore, they couldn't do enough for you.

Gogi our tour guide, was the nicest guy you ever want to meet. He was very informative, knew the answer to every question put to him. He was very patient with all of us (24 people in our group). He was good fun, you almost thought he was one of the group. I particularly want to thank him so much, as I brought a giant hold-all ( big mistake), but Gogi pulled it along for most of the trip, which I really appreciate. Anyone who gets Gogi as their group leader will be so lucky. I will miss him and wish him all the best for the future x

Taro and Peanut were very friendly and pleasant to be around. Peanut was very caring and attentive when I got sick which I really appreciated. I felt that they couldn’t communicated with us better because we didn’t really know what the plan was for each day most of the time, which was something our last tour guide did perfectly.

I had an incredible week in Southern Thailand with Gogi and Off. They were friendly, fun and enthusiastic. They were really helpful in my onward travel at the end of the tour too. There was a good balance of free time and activities in the South. All of the locations were beautiful. The accommodation was clean and safe, often with a pool.

I can’t speak highly enough of Tommy and Fluke, they were both amazing tour guides. They were so fun, helpful and caring. They were always happy to answer questions and had lots of recommendations for us when we had some spare time. I would highly recommend this trip, I have genuinely made some friends for life and have memories and experiences I will never forget.

Artus was a great tourguide. We made sure everybody was having a good time. He also gave us lots of information what was of the planning that day. We got enough free time, which was nice. I also loved the group in the parties we went to.

I went on the Northern Thailand and beaches trip this summer and I started the tour with Nonnie for the first 2 weeks in the north. I had the best time, Nonnie was an amazing tour guide, was so professional, kind and genuinely cared about us all having the best trip. Any time we needed help with onward travel or anything at all he was so willing to help. He felt like a genuine friend by the end and we all formed such a bond with him during such a short time. All in all the North part of the trip was brilliant, we saw so much and every day was filled with activities. After completing the northern trip we headed south and had Gun as our tour guide. Gun was also amazing and so much fun, it was like having a friend as well as a tour guide. Gun helped me especially with my onward travel which was a god send as I was clueless about getting around the south of Thailand after the tour! He helped me book all of my boats, was able to advise on accommodation and was also fab for taking pictures of our experiences and getting involved with all of the activities, making sure we had fun. I really enjoyed the south and am so grateful to have had 2 amazing tour guides for the whole trip. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone!
