- BFBert· April 25th, 2024there was some confusion about some of the services offered on the tour. I booked the dinner package. I would not recommend that people do that. In most cases, there were more options available from the regular menu at hotels with no nearby offsite food options. Where you had to nearby offsite options, the options were cheaper more varied. If I had to do it all over again, I would just pay for the dinner meals at the time and not prebook. The tour itself is heavy on the temples, so if you are not into the cultural aspect, then this is not really the tour for you. For me it met all my expectations for the cultural aspect. The lunches were at local restaurants (some I never would have found but the choices were varied and quite tasty). As this is a small group tour, I would have expected the guide to have the meals with the group but that was not the case on this tour (maybe cultural aspect to this, as I found having the local perspective during the meals to be valuable on other tours).Show moreDestination Services Thailand commented on this reviewDear Customer, Thank you so much for your feedback.

- Yvonne· February 9th, 2024Automatic translation available in English. View in EnglishWhat a fantastic tour with our own professional guide (Nicky) and a very good driver; really taken care of to perfection. This was exactly what I was looking for: a nice combination of temples, Buddhas, palaces, markets, viewpoints etc. Of course you spend quite a lot of hours in the minivan, but there were many stops along the way; I liked it just fine. I booked 2 extra nights before and after the tour, to get to know the cities of Bangkok and Chiang Mai a bit better. Plus, it allows you to get used to the temperature and time change. I am especially happy with the extra nights I had in Chiang Mai; The only thing I missed during the roundtrip was a visit to an animal-friendly elephant sanctuary (i.e. without touching, washing and/or sitting on it: that's animal cruelty); Nicky told me about a place in Chiang Mai, which I went to on my own the next day. Awesome!Show moreDestination Services Thailand commented on this reviewDear Customer, Thank you so much for your feedback. We hope to welcome you again in our destinations.

- MAMichael· December 19th, 2023Great tour for cultural experience of Thailand! It covered palaces, stupas/temples, floating markets, traditional craft demonstrations and an optional cultural show. The guide was very friendly, punctual and accommodating. The tour itinerary was good but a bit heavy on temples and stupas and light on daily experience of locals. To be clear, some stupas, temples and palaces were unique, spectacular and/or designated as UNESCO heritage sites! Even though the tour was advertised as 9 days, the first and last days were only for airport transfers without any itinerary: It's a bit misleading! In addition to historic sites, I wanted to experience the daily life of locals including authentic Thai cuisine. However, the meals covered by the tour were blend and did not represent authentic flavors that I experienced in floating markets or night markets. The drive from Bangkok to the north was smooth and scenic, interspersed with some tour stops. Some hotels on the trip were not close to night markets or even restaurants, limiting us to have dinner in some hotels.Show moreDestination Services Thailand commented on this reviewThank you so much and we appreciate that you are happy with our service. we will keep any comments to improve our service.

- DNDung· December 19th, 2023Tour guide and driver were nice, professional. Tour is worth it for first time visiting Thailand. Tour description could have more details. I.e. on the last day in Chang Mai, tour description doesn't clearly state that Queen Sirikit Bot Garden is included. I almost booked it separately. It would have been a duplicate. By the way, Queen Sirikit Bot Garden is not worth it in Nov. Destination Service should be clearer on how/where/when visitor would have transportation/pickup/transfer. I had to send many messages via TourRadar, but still didn't get clear information.Show moreDestination Services Thailand commented on this reviewThank you so much for the feedback. we will keep your comment with us to improve our service.

- DKDeborah· November 12th, 2023Very much enjoyed the tour. Very well structured and included lots of interesting things to see. I could have done with less temples. Too many temples on the tour, however, all the temples were interesting. Tour guide was very good. His English needs work but overall we could understand him. Very good tour and would recommend it.Show moreDestination Services Thailand commented on this reviewThank you so much for your feedback.
