  We all had an absolute blast on our tour! Our tour guide Peak was absolutely amazing! He taught us so much about the culture and joined in with the activities we did each day which made it really enjoyable. He took so many photos for us when we wouldn’t even think to take photos which is so cool because we have so many memories to look back on now! The tour had a nice balance of planned activities and free time and Peak was always there too recommended things to do in our free time! Everything was very well planned and Peak made each transportation day an absolute breeze! I definitely think you could travel a lot cheaper by yourself, but nothing compares to the people you meet and having Peaky everyday. I think everyone agreed we would have preferred another night in Kho Sok National Park / Ratchaprapha instead of two nights in Bangkok as this was easily our favourite place and the nicest accommodation! Some of the hostel rooms were quite small, but they were a really good vibe and gave us the opportunity to meet other travellers outside of the group. I choose to do the 16 day tour and I think I would have preferred to do the 11 day tour as majority of the group left and planned to do other things together after the tour. There was only three other people that stayed for the 16 day tour and felt there wasn’t many activities in the last five days compared to the rest of the trip. In saying that though, everyone else wanted a chill day to themselves so I got to have a private tour round the island with Peak and had a lovely day! Also everyone that choose to do the 11 day tour instead of the 16 day tour really regretted their decision. I think the two extra activities we choose to spend extra money doing (River Float and Bathing Elephants) absolutely made the trip but looking back at how much we spent on the trip, I felt these activities should have been included. Overall it was great and I think Peak deserves the world and more and can’t wait to go back to Thailand to visit him one day! Thanks again! ❤️

  Legend tour itinerary was generally good with a variety of activities at the 3 destinations. Information about hotel booked were only disclosed when asked one month before the tour. Internal airfares times known only at time of arrival. Itinerary and times shortly before flying. This made it difficult planning for my family as we needed to know whether the area we stayed was appropriate for my kids, and to plan shopping and meals. Also with flight times, to wake up at what time and eat etc. We did request to change our hotel (Extra charge) in Chiang Mai to be more central to amenities. Ideally, the agent should disclose the hotels once booked or choices so we can check the surrounds for transport and food options. We also unsure why local payment was needed, even though it was indicated in the price. We still ended up tipping the tour guides and drivers. There is a hotline to contact if you have any questions, if you not sure if admission/meals are included or not, you can always check with the agent directly as sometimes the tour guide may not know. For Bangkok and Chiang Mai, we had pretty much a private tour (not intended). The tour guide in Chiang Mai - Dare and Air were fantastic, having snacks in the van and engaging with us. We did a long 10hr road trip to the golden triangle and the white temple was temporary closed when we visited in the morning. They came back in the afternoon so we could see inside the temple art. The elephant sanctuary here was more natural and the white water rafting was fun. We wished we could stay an extra day in Chiang Mai to do one of the zip lines adventures. At Koh Samui, we joined 3 day tours (prebooked by the agent). The Madsum island cruise was boring, as we were on board most of the time just lazing on the bean bags. We did some snorkel, and was hoping to spend more time and swim at the beach at Madsum island. However, the boat only docked at Madsum island for 20 mins to take some photos with the pigs. Would have preferred a more exciting boat trip to spend more time at Madsum island, if you don’t intend to sleep away the day on the boat. The elephant camp here was a different to the mainland, still amazing to be up close to them. The Anthong Marine park was spectacular – definitely a highlight! Overall, we had an enjoyable trip with transport and logistics going smoothly. Just a few stresses (as I’m an organiser) which could be prevented if all the information was communicated. Would have preferred some options so we can be more flexible with our activities.
