- Hope· January 3rd, 2025While I am a bit late submitting this review, I can honestly say that this was one of my best experiences as a traveler. Andy was such an amazing human being and guide. He ensured that we had the best experience as he was very knowledgeable, extremely patient, and had a great sense of humor. As I plan my vacation this year, I will only book with tour radar, and I hope to have another great vacation! Happy New Year!!Show more

- JJack· March 29th, 2023Fabulous tour visiting all the important and amazing sights of Thailand in one week. I couldn’t visit Thailand on my own in a week and learn so much about the culture, history and nature. Thanks to our guide for sharing his knowledge with us and showing every corner of his own country in details. Some days were tiring, the distances are not short and you need to prepare yourself for long rides, but we have not missed any sight or temple as stated on the itinerary of the trip. Hotels met my expectations, centrally located decent accommodations. In general, that’s the correct trip if you wish to discover Thailand in a week or so.Show moreTrip date: February 2023
- OAOrlando· March 28th, 2023Sadly, sone very long drives per say, over 12.5 hours, we misses out on some of the itinerary activities, lake, lunch, tea plantation . Had a physical accident on penultimate day of tour and sadly discovered there was no first aid box on our bus, the tour rep did accompany us to the next hospital for medical assistance.Show moreTrip date: March 2023

- Barbara· February 21st, 2023Our guide, Richie, was very pleasant and knowledgeable but much of the information he gave us was lost due to his very heavily accented English. The tour promised us free time to explore after the day's activities but twice we reached our hotel after 7 pm so only had time to eat, shower and sleep before the following day's 6 am wake up ready to be on the coach at 7 am. Disappointing and exhausting. The trip to the War Museum and Bridge on the River Kwai was excellent as was the Elephant Eco Valley trip. However, other than those 2 experiences the entire trip was filled with temple visits. Although some of these were excellent, I'm sure there are more cultural activities to be found in Thailand which would have made the tour much more enjoyable.Show moreTrip date: February 2023

- AAnonymous· February 3rd, 2023We really enjoyed this tour, great mix of history, culture and nature, you get to see everything from crowded cities to small villages and temples. The itinerary is well planned, you see so many sights in 9 day (let’s say in 8) and learn a lot about Thailand. I found the tour value for money as the hotels were all in good standards and the transport was very comfortable. Some days were tiring, but worth to the effort. Travel Talk’s tour guide Sunny was very knowledgeable and informative. Some travel companions joined the tour from Vietnam and Cambodia and it was nice to listen to their experiences, either. My next travel will be to Vietnam with Travel Talk, that’s for sure!Show moreTrip date: October 2022
