    Very good organization. Questions about the booking were answered quickly and competently. The tour guide was super nice, competent and really explained a lot about the country and the culture. The hotels were all super clean and very nice. The fact that lunch was included meant that we ate a lot of food that we probably wouldn't have ordered. Lunch was different every time and always delicious. You just had to get in the car and off you went. Definitely a trip where you can't go wrong. Simply fantastic

    Overall the actual toar tour was very good.The tour quide had a fair knowledge of the places we visited. He also well explained and never tried to skip anything. The driver was also very good, taking care of our comfort. The mini van was comfortable. No complain there. The only setback to the tour was the very initial to the tour, the airport pickup. We had to wait a little over one and a half hours when we got picked up. It was very distressing to my wife and daughter, telling me that this not a good sign and what to expert the rest of tour. First, there was nobody there for pickup. When somebody did show up after 90 minutes from that company that person did have the company coloured shirt, thats how we recognised the person, but no sign board with our names for pick up. We had to approach the person ourselve to find out. Very disappointing.

    It was a great experience overall, was able to visit different places in a short time period. From Bangkok to Ayutthaya, then to Chiang Mai. Our guide is very informative and fun. Especially like the Thai food market.

    Unfortunately we had a Rocky start, feeling like we didn't have a detailed enough itinerary. We had no idea that the first two days would be completely on our own, perhaps we would have scheduled some things differently. In the future I'd recommend a better itinerary breakdown that explains when you'll be meeting the group etc. We really found we didn't need the two days in Bangkok on our own because we flew in early and had expected to be meeting the group for those two days on the tour. In this respect it felt more like a 5 day tour, as the last day we were also on our own. The tour however was great, we enjoyed the small group of 12. MOST of our hotels were excellent - the Chakungrao was unfortunately quite terrible. Regarding our tour guide, Ram, we ran into some issues with. On multiple occasions he asked us to pay ahead for extra excursions, which always seemed very pricey, but we did it, not wanting to miss out. Upon arriving to each excursion we noticed that the pricing was cheaper than we paid Ram. We felt rather taken advantage of. Upon questioning him we were brushed off and given excuses, however each of us in the group did our research and know that we were indeed ripped off. Such as the elephant bathing and bicycle riding in the Sukohothai Historical Park. If I were to add anything, it would have to be Chiang Rai. Our bus driver was fantastic, very quick and we felt safe. The bus was always clean. Having WiFi on the bus was a huge plus for us. Regardless of our few negative comments, we enjoyed ourselves and are thankful to have had this experience. Thank you!

    Itinerary was good although some places could be included on the same day as it is along the way, that way the long travel would not be too noticeable. But since we had an excellent guide who was so cheerful and knowledgeable about the culture and history, the hours long of traveling wasn't too tedious.
