    Just back from the most amazing 3 weeks in Thailand. I can't reccomend this tour enough it was so well organised and such an excellent way to experience an amazing country, trying all the wonderful food and exploring so many different areas! The trip wouldn't have been the same without our tour guide S, he went above and beyond for our group and made our experience so wonderful and one we will never forget! He really looked after us and gelled the group together. Also shout out to our driver Benz who really took care of us and made the travelling around so stress free. When our train broke down Benz came to pick us up and drove the extra 7 hours to take us to the next destination. Thank you so much to S and benz for making this an experience of a life time!

    I spent 18 days in Bali and I cannot recommend this tour more❤️Massive thank you to our tour guides Paddy and Song for making the trip so memorable and sharing all their experience and knowledge with us - both of yous have become my second family❤️We followed everything on the itinerary and even had the opportunity to do extra activities if we wanted! I travelled solo and not once did I feel like I was travelling alone. My only regret is not doing the trip sooner!!
