Reviews of Small Group tours to Thailand
- Bangkok and Ancient Capitals, Small Group Tour
It was a great experience overall, was able to visit different places in a short time period. From Bangkok to Ayutthaya, then to Chiang Mai. Our guide is very informative and fun. Especially like the Thai food market.
- Trails and Gems of Siam, Small Group Tour
I enjoyed this trip very much. The highlight for me was our guide Sunny who was amazing. I loved his personality and all of the info he provided about Thai history and culture. Thanks Sunny! The minibus transport was good, as was our driver. Meals were good but preferred the ones that were NOT buffet style. Hotels were average overall, with the highlight being the Holiday Inn in Chiang Mai which was very nice. I enjoyed stopping at little markets and shops along the way. Thanks!
- Thailand Grand Tour, Small Group Tour (English Only)
The guide in the first part of tour in Chiang rai and chiang mai was not up to the mark.This tour includes too many visits to temples.Could iclude crossing river to Laos while at Golden Triangle.
