We had a great day with Noney. The bikes were good quality and the tour very enjoyable. Lunch was excellent. Finally, we really enjoyed the waterfall to cool off!
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to know you had an enjoyable experience, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure!
This activity was very fun and interesting. Our guide, Nonny, was wonderful, so kind and informative. We learnt a great deal about the agricultural practices and the different plants as well as Thai traditions and culture. The bike ride was a work out but was adapted to participants. The visit of the Temple was very enlightening as well. Lunch was delicious! Stinky falls was a fun experience. Thank you, Nonny, for making this activity so enjoyable!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour, the bike ride, and the visit to the temple. We have passed on your compliments to Nonny. We're also glad you enjoyed the Sticky Waterfalls! Thank you again for sharing your feedback, and we hope to see you on another adventure soon!
A fantastic combination of country cycling and sticky waterfall with Nonny as super guide made it unforgettable. We got extensive explanations about plants, fruits and trees and answers to all the questions we asked him. A very good, relaxed and sporty guide. The cycle route was beautiful and challenging for us as experienced Dutch cyclists. Visited an impressive large and beautiful temple complex during the route. There was also every opportunity to make photo stops in between. Not to mention that we were able to enjoy a delicious lunch at noon at the beautiful sports resort from which we departed.
Hello, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a memorable experience with Nonny as your guide. It's great to know you enjoyed the cycling route, the beautiful scenery, and the visit to the temple. We're glad you enjoyed the lunch at the resort as well—it’s the perfect way to refuel after an active day! We hope to welcome you back soon for another adventure. Warm wishes from the team.
