What people love about Southern Thailand Tours for Seniors
This was my first G adventure/Nat Geo tour and I was not disappointed. We saw breathtaking scenery at every location and participated in several local/cultural excursions. Our guide was fantastic. Not only did she keep our trip organized and on time, she knew/suggested several great places for us to eat “local”-style away from the hustle n’ bustle of tourist traps. I would have liked a little more history/background on some of the locations we visited, but overall would give this trip two thumbs up ☺️

- 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.
