    I joined the Northern Thailand: Hilltribes & Villages on July 15, 2024. I truly had the most fantastic experience and created the most wonderful memories. As a solo female traveller, I felt completely safe. A huge heartfelt thank you to my guide Tew who was a friend to me for the duration of the week. Sharing all his knowledge, insight, kindness and taking the time to make my experience a great one! Thank you Tew! The trip brought me out of my comfort zone in the best possible ways. The scenery and views from the hiking journey was spectacular! I am so grateful I can say I have travelled to Thailand and grateful to of joined this tour specifically. This tour has given me the confidence and motivation to join another one in the future! From my experience on the Northern Thailand: Hilltribes & Villages, I look forward to returning to Thailand!

    I had an amazing time with G Adventures! The itinerary was perfect; there was a lot to do and see, but it wasn't overwhelming and there was a lot of free time provided. My guide, Prem, was one of the sweetest, loveliest people I've ever met! She is brilliant at her job, and brings so much enthusiasm to work. She is extremely knowledgeable, and was always willing to share her knowledge with the group. Miss her so much already!

    There are a few things which were disappointing about this tour. 1. The accommodation in Bangkok was poorly chosen - location was not great, and it was a dorm- style bedding, 6 to a room based on gender, with communal outside toilets/showers. No soap was provided. Breakfast was very poor, boiled eggs and jam. 2. It was a basic style tour - again this was not communicated or made obvious prior to booking. 3. The tour guide while perfectly nice and organised, did not provide any historical / cultural briefings to places visited/ things to see. I expected to learn more from the tour guide. 4. The group members were young and lacked diversity. I had specifically enquired about this, so again this was disappointing, especially as you’re spending a lot of time together.

    I am so glad we had Sunni as our tour guide. He was amazing and organised the additional activities best suited for the group. He was very informative, friendly and passionate about his country. I think he had a good balance with the amount of time he spent with us and then giving us space as a group. He was always available to us (day and night). I had a fabulous time and the best group - thank you GAdventures!
