    Very nice balance of long travel days followed more settled sight seeing day. Loved the freetime options occasionally too, often tours are so critivall3timed, no sparetime to shop for souvenirs or just do as you wish. Arjan was a very attentive guide, going above and beyond to help some clients.

    It was a far out experience indeed! This tour is full of exciting places visited and offered a variety in the itinerary. To add icing on the cake, we were so pleased with our tour guide, Suchin Temo who was an active, up to date, informative and fun person to be around with, to say the least. He's innovative and caring and his experience and mastery of his job is what is exemplified the whole time we were with him. We won’t mind booking another tour with him as our guide as we never had a dull moment with him at all. Our driver was an added bonus as he was an expert on the area as well as a safe chauffeur too. Overall it was an AAAAAAA+++++++ Experience! We are among the satisfied customers of Intrepid!

    Beautiful days spent/ shared with lovely, insightful, friendly guide and group/ bunch of people from across the globe.Honestly can say most fun, best time I've had in quite a while! Connections/ friendships formed amidst fun activity, beautiful/amazing scenery, great food and authentic & real lifestyle and culture. Rated ""Good"" only due to DAY 1 not being A DAY, having lost quite some time on couple days due to travelling during day (travel would have been best, better at night) and FINAL day finishing too early (pretty much shortly after we arrived back at hotel).

    The entire tour was a fantastic experience. GiGi gave us a very intimate and special experience. She took us to all of the possible local cultural experiences she could.Food was an important part of our experience and she was able to help us experience the very delicious food Thailand has to offer.She made sure that everyone was accommodated and that we were all having the best time we could, even when some of the group were sick.She even added to our free days with great suggestions for things to do on the free days and came with us.
