    Absolutely loved this tour. It was my first time travelling solo and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our tour guide Arthur was amazing and everyone else on the trip was so lovely and I’ve made friends for life. The tour was incredible, such amazing locations, beautiful hotels, really amazing activities all planned so well and with no stress as our tour guide dealt with every aspect of the planning.

    This tour was brilliant!! Arthur was the best tour guide anyone could wish for. He was kind and attentive, always willing to help and had a brilliant sense of humour which really did make the trip. He was very knowledgeable and it was great to hear about the history of Thailand on the temple days and Arthur explained everything really well for us. Arthur made the days fun and exciting, and always had a smile on his face and was there to motivate us if we were tired. He made an effort to always come to dinner with us even during ‘free time’ evenings which we all really appreciated as the group didn’t feel complete without him. He also cleared up another family’s rubbish in Maya bay when they left it behind on the beach, which shows how much he cares about sustainability and keeping Thailand beautiful. I couldn’t rate him high enough - best tour guide ever /!!

    It was a pleasure to have Arthur as our tour guide. He was very good at recommending restaurants and dishes on the menu (coconut soup was my favourite). He also bought a good vibe and helped the group connect, whilst sharing detailed explanations of Thai culture and traditions when growing up. He provided us with a lot of funny jokes and even sang at a couple of live music locations. Most things ran very smoothly and I enjoyed not having to worry about organising anything as it was all done for us! Thank you for a wonderful trip, I will definitely be doing another flashpacker tour with Trutravels.

    Arthur was a great guide, very knowledgeable and a great sense of humour and always made sure the group was okay and safe and checked that we were having a good time. Great locations throughout the whole journey and fun things to do! My favourite activities were the elephant sanctuary and the kayaking. Thanks for a great tour Arthur / LG!!

    Tommy was by far the most amazing tour guide I have ever had. What stood out most was how he went above and beyond for everyone. He was caring, punctual and created the most fun experience possible. If I could travel the world with Tommy on every TruTravels tour I would be the happiest person alive.

    Having organised and hosted events, I can say from experience that I am impressed with this tour guide. Multi day and even when items happened such as the electrical failure on the chartered boat - Tommy (or whoever was in the background) made a seamless correction. And all continued as planned. I find Tommy a delightful, energetic, knowledgeable, personable, and experienced individual. I would love to take another tour with him. Tommy had a smile and a can do attitude throughout the tour. I personally heard and had discussions with my other tour companions and never was a negative event or issue discussed- we were ALL VERY impressed. Excellent job Tommy, my hat is off to you. Perhaps our paths may cross again, but if not; Safe travels wherever your journeys take you. TruTravel - if all your Travel Ninja's are of the same caliber as Tommy- you will reach your goals in short order. Thank you for allowing me into this tour group. And I plan future tours as my time allows.

    Tommy has been the most amazing tour guide from start to finish. His knowledge, positive spirit, sense of humour and willingness to answer questions has made this trip by far the best experience it could have been and a trip to remember. As this was my first solo trip, it was slightly daunting travelling abroad at first, but Tommy has made me feel at ease the whole time. I will definitely be booking another TruTravels trip again! Thank you so much Tommy!! :)
