Terrible experience. The guide did not know how to speak English, therefore he did not give us any information. We had to look it up on the internet. Very repetitive with the only words he knows in English. It does not contribute anything. A complete waste of money.

I went solo on this tour since I was in Bangkok for business. I had an amazing time with Susie. She was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive
It was very good I like every thing and thew knew very much he was a good guide
Had an amazing experience, our guide was Thew. He knew everything and let us take part in all the local traditions, such as offering, praying and tasting. Everywhere we went he had so much to tell and things for us to do. Ps. Also made amazing pictures ;)
Thew knows a lot and gave so many nice insights. We were with a family with 3 children and the kids had great fun as well. We enjoyed every second of this tour. Thanks Thew!!
