    Cannot recommend this tour highly enough. We actually did the self drive tour so we got to drive our own Tuk Tuk. The staff were amazing Nam, Yuth and Win looked after our every need. We were picked up from our hotel by Bruce and the team and transported to our first accommodation. We did a training session followed by a fantastic lunch. Then we got to drive our Tuk Tuks. Over the next few days we got to see great scenery visit temples and most importantly get up close and personal with the elephants. The day with the elephants was totally amazing and is a memory my family and I will cherish forever, Our second accommodation, whilst not being as luxurious was still very comfortable with amazing views over the rice the fields. I could not fault the tour, the staff were amazing and everything was so well organized. We did not want for anything. All our delicious meals were provided for as was all entrances and transport as needed. We didn't have to think about anything except enjoying the trip and having a great time. Our only problem was deciding what awesome things to buy at the markets. If I could give it 6 stars out of 5 I would. Thank you for an awesome adventure.

    So good I did it twice! I enjoyed a 5 star tour with my daughter in 2019 and came back in 2022 with my wife. The guides, locations, food, etc are all excellent but the star of the trip will always be the opportunity to drive the amazing Tuk-tuks. This trip is something really different and creates memories that last......

    We had an excellent adventure into the nature side of Northern Thailand. Both Graham and Boi were really open, friendly and sympathetic guides who took well care of us, adding new activities (i.e. Tie Dyeing) and helping with the small things like finding a missing cap. We met good people throughout, from Trish and Keith (Our fellow travellers) to Kenn, his family and the Tribal village. An adventure like no other, with the time behind the wheel of a Tuk Tuk only being a contributing factor.

    My Daughter and I had an excellent time. Driving the Tuk Tuks was a highlight and a wonderfully novel way to travel through the beautiful countryside. Our guides, Ken and Jaya were knowledgeable and thoughtful and ensured we had a great vacation.

    Jacobus

    Asked on December 24th, 2024

    How is travel between different locations on the tour handled?

    Transport

      Travel between locations is managed through either self-driven or guide-driven tuk tuks, ensuring a comfortable and localized experience.

    Payments
    • The Tuk Tuk ClubOperatorWritten September 2024

      It is recommended to bring around 1,000-1,500 Thai Baht to cover personal expenses like mountain coffees and cold beers.

  • M

    Monica

    Asked on September 5th, 2024

    Are the Tuk Tuk's motorized or do you petal them? Is there one driver or how do they work?

    Transport
    • The Tuk Tuk ClubOperatorWritten September 2024

      Our Tuk Tuks are indeed motorized - they have 650cc car engines so they're fairly powerful machines. We really need it to get over all the mountains! They have space for one person to drive from the front seat and two passenger seats in the back, and, depending on availability, you can choose to drive yourself or have a member of our team driving for you.

  • N

    Nancy

    Asked on July 25th, 2024

    do you have to drive the tuk tuk or can you have a driver do it for you and does it cost any extra

    Transport
    • The Tuk Tuk ClubOperatorWritten July 2024

      We have both options avialable on our trips - so you are able to choose whether you'd like to drive yourselves or whether you'd like a driver (driving yourself does require a valid driving licence and an International Driving Permit, but if you have those it is very easy!). There's no price difference for those options either, so our trips are the same price whether you will be driving or whether you'll have a driver.

  • M

    Marc

    Asked on July 12th, 2024

    What support is available for emergencies during the tour?

    Travel Support

      The tour operators are equipped to handle emergencies and are contactable for support throughout the duration of the tour.

  • C

    Asked on June 19th, 2024

    Can you please confirm that there is place on this tour for 4 people. When I click, it allows me to pay for 4 people though says only 1 space left.

    • The Tuk Tuk ClubOperatorWritten June 2024

      I'm afraid there is only 1 space left for this departure. We only have two trips this year with enough space left for 2 Adults and 2 Children, and they are on the 19th of August and 23rd of September.

    Asked on June 2nd, 2024

    Are there any hiking requirements for the tour?

    Tour Details
    • The Tuk Tuk ClubOperatorWritten June 2024

      The hike involved is not overly strenuous but enjoying the forest and waterfalls. Running shoes and comfortable attire are recommended.

  • P

    Philippe

    Asked on March 18th, 2024

    How can I handle payments on the tuk tuk tour?

    Payments
    • The Tuk Tuk ClubOperatorWritten March 2024

      It's advised to carry some cash in Thai Baht for small personal expenses, as not all places during the tour might accept credit cards.

  • W

    William

    Asked on March 12th, 2024

    If I don't or carnt drive a tuk tul but my traveling person can do I have to drive the tuk tuk

    Transport
    • The Tuk Tuk ClubOperatorWritten March 2024

      You can book our adventures with or without a driver (a professionally trained member of our team), the choice is all yours as long as we still have the availability. If you choose the self driven option then only one of you has to do the driving, you do need to have a valid International Driving Permit, but we will train you until we're happy with your standard of driving. If you choose the chauffeur driven option neither of you have to drive and you can both sit back and relax for the whole journey.
