    Es war eine sehr informative, interessante Rundreiese. Die Hotels super, besonders das Laluna in Chiang Rei. Mein Guide , Ooy, hat im perfektem Deutsch informiert, alle Fragen beantwortet und immer bemüht , dass die Reise unvergesslich wird. Ebenso engagiert war mein Reiseleiter N. ( Namen leider vergessen) für die ersten Tage in Bangkok!!!! Die Organisation war perfekt. Ich hatte nachmittags Zeit zum Relaxen und um die vielen Eindrücke zu verarbeiten. Also wenn ihr Land und Leute , die Kultur kennenlernen möchtet, dann kann ich diese Rundreise absolut empfehlen!!!!!

    Great tour but the Bangkok to Chiang Mai journey could have been planned much better. You are told to take an early flight so we had to leave the hotel at 5am. They they collect you and transfer you to the hotel by around 10.30am. You can't check in until 3pm and the tour doesn't begin again until 1.30pm so you just have to wait in the lobby for 3 hours. We were going to book a flight that arrives at 11.15am but was told that it was too late; why? Luckily our tour guide and driver brought the afternoon tour forward to 12.40pm. It would have been better to charge slightly more and include the flight and have everyone arrive at around 12 Noon. Drop off the bags at the hotel and then go on the afternoon tour. Alternatively, allow the people to arrive on the 11.15 flight. That is still two hours prior to the afternoon activities.

    I booked a Destination Services tour for myself and a friend, and we are both beyond pleased by the value and the experience. We had two guides: Sunny in Bangkok, and Thunder in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai. They were both very friendly, spoke excellent English, and were so thorough in explaining to us everything that was going on - from our itinerary for the day to the history and cultural significance of the sites we visited. Our transportation was also perfect, with a cool van always ready to whisk us off to the next spot - with lots of bottled water always at hand! The transportation to and from airports was also a huge bonus and made us feel like we never had to worry about getting from city-to-city within Thailand. I felt both our guides and both our drivers went above and beyond in making us feel welcome, in answering our (many) questions, and in helping us when any minor issues came up (like needing to find a snack, a bathroom, a bandage - anything). With this company, I feel there is the perfect mix of scheduled tour time (which with the guides was always packed with adventure) and independent time to explore each city - or relax if needed. My only hesitation with the tour was that occasionally, we felt there was some pressure to buy at certain stores or make "donations" at various temples and villages. I realize that tourism is a huge source of income in the areas we visited, but not every tourist is able to or make (or comfortable with making) donations at each stop. At the end of the day, it was such a small issue compared to how wonderful everything else was, I would not hesitate to book with this company again. But I would have appreciated some kind of heads-up that this is so common place, which is why I mention it here. Other than that, I know we received an excellent deal and I felt our money was well spent. Our lodging, all breakfasts, guide, transport (except airfare of course), and tickets were covered, plus some extras like a buffet lunch or dinner. This was very convenient and made the trip so stress-free. Plus, our accommodations were stunning; we were booked at what I assumed were American-style Holiday Inn-level accommodations, but they exceeded my expectations by far. The hotels were just beautiful, with supportive and welcoming staff and beautiful buildings. Plus, it was such a luxury not to have to worry about where to stay, or what we were having for breakfast. (Plenty of options including fresh fruit at each breakfast buffet, yum!) As for Thailand itself, this was my second time in the country, and my friend and I are already planning our next trip. It's such a beautiful country. So unique and special. I will certainly think about Destination Services again!
