  I want to start by saying that I loved Thailand, and the itinerary for the Fantastic Thailand Tour was perfect. We covered a lot of ground in just 8 days and saw many of the key attractions that Thailand has to offer. The tour guides were fantastic for the most part—friendly, knowledgeable, and very accommodating. Several of them even took us to additional places that weren’t on the itinerary but that we expressed interest in, which we really appreciated and know they didn't have to do that. However, there were some negatives regarding the hotels. Two of the three hotels we stayed in were quite disappointing. I chose the 3-star option after researching all three categories (3-star, 4-star, and 5-star), and honestly, they didn’t seem that different online. This may partly be my fault for not upgrading. One hotel was so bad that I completely ditched it and booked another place. It was gross! The second hotel was bearable but still pretty bad; and it was in a terrible location in Phuket—up on a hill with nothing around, including no restaurants. When I arrived at the hotel in Chiang Mai (the really bad hotel) and realized I couldn’t stay there, I complained to the tour operator, but they weren’t very helpful or accommodating in finding a new hotel. Additionally, after much prodding, they finally refunded me what was probably one night’s worth ($55), even though we were there for three nights. At that point, I didn’t care about the refund; I just wanted to get out of there! I also didn’t love that we had to book our own internal flights; I feel like that should be handled by the tour operator. However, it worked out fine in the end. Overall, despite the hotel issues, I truly enjoyed my experience on the Fantastic Thailand Tour and would recommend it for its engaging itinerary and excellent guides.

  The tour covers the areas of highest interest in Thailand. Some locations are very touristy so be ready for large crowds. Also,this is not an “escorted tour “ so you will not have on tour guide throughout and you will not be staying with or seeing the same people each day. Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai were great, but it is a very long tour day to drive to Chiang Rai and the Golden Triangle from Chiang Mai in one day. The boat trip to the Phi Phi Islands is also a very long day and the speed boats are very full.

  It was a fantastic vacation that lives up to the name of the tour. It was a very complete trip because it had cultural, historical content, adventures and beautiful beaches. We had the opportunity to move around the country and visit wonderful places and learn more about a culture very different from ours and we are very happy with the Tour Operator because everything flowed perfectly, we did not have any type of problem, I can say that I recommend this tour 100%.

  This tour was exceptionally well-organized, encompassing the destinations we desired, excluding beachside locations. Our guide, Mhor, proved excellent—knowledgeable, courteous, and highly accommodating. Key landmarks in Bangkok, Ayutthaya, Kanchanaburi, Chiang Mai, and Chiang Rai were thoroughly covered, allowing ample personal time. Accommodations were consistently clean and spacious, with a special highlight being our enjoyable stay along the River Kwai. Anticipating our next trip with this company, and it's worth noting a fellow traveler, a young Kiwi, was on his fourth tour with Bravo Indochina Tours.

  My first guided tour experience exceeded expectations. Caroline made the booking process seamless, and the centrally located, high-quality hotels added convenience. Our Thai guide, Mhoi, was exceptional—providing insightful preparation, sharing rich historical and cultural knowledge, and being attentively available to the group.

  The tour was absolutely fantastic, and I had an amazing time throughout. Our guide was exceptional, consistently going above and beyond to provide us with an authentic immersion into the country. From spontaneous rides in tuk-tuks to local restaurants, insightful advice on regional dishes, and a wealth of fascinating facts about Thailand, our guide ensured an enriching experience. The group size, consisting of 12 individuals, was ideal. This allowed us the flexibility to explore destinations swiftly without being bound to a large bus. It fostered spontaneity and enabled us to uncover hidden gems such as small local restaurants and unique delicacies. The intimate group setting, where everyone shared similar expectations and desires for the tour, truly enhanced the overall value of the experience.

  I highly recommend the Time tour if you're seeking a glimpse into the rich history, vibrant culture, and stunning landscapes of northern Thailand and the picturesque countryside near Bangkok. The tour's standout moments featured an enjoyable cooking class in Chiang Mai, led by an exceptional couple, as well as a memorable night spent on a jungle raft in the River Kwai. The small and amiable group added to the overall experience, and I particularly appreciated the intimacy of a smaller gathering. Our guide, Tui, was truly exceptional. She exuded friendliness, was incredibly accommodating, and went above and beyond in taking care of the group. Tui surpassed expectations in her role. Without a doubt, I would choose Bravo Indochina Tours for another adventure.

  Wish we would of had some warning or more description of how poor our hotels were. I advise everyone to pay close attention to the hotels. Our stays in all locations were very poor quality hotels. Our hotel room in Bangkok greeted us with live roaches.
