What people love about Southern Thailand Tours for Seniors
- Journeys: Explore Southern Thailand National Geographic Journeys
My husband and I traveled with G Adventures to Southern Thailand. What a trip! We traveled by plane, and ferry, and vans, long boats, kayak, and tuktuk! Yes, it blew my comfort zone right out of the water, but the whole time we had the comfort of a local guide who spoke the language, explained customs, arranged our travels and made food suggestions. We had wonderful company with the other people on our tour, which also added to the fun. I wasn't sure I would enjoy traveling with a group, but I would not hesitate to do it again with G. We saw and experienced so much more than we would have on our own.
- Thailand Beaches: Bangkok to Phuket
Thoroughly enjoyed our travels with Intrepid and would not hestate recommending this tour/operator to family and friends. Would have missed out on several cultural experiences without our guide.
- Sailing Thailand - Phuket to Ko Phi Phi
Had a luxury cabin, lived up to expectations. Food good , local produce, could vary the breakfast menu. Loved the catamaran, plenty of space for all. Crew friendly. Snorkelling- could choose less popular tourist places, as sometimes very crowded and quite scary for less experienced swimmers, especially near Phi Phi, not enjoyable to dodge other boats and too far to swim from boat to see fish.
