I joined the 18 day Thai intro tour with Zoe as my group leader. Zoe is full of energy and really brought the group together. Nothing was too much for her, she really cares about your experience, she organised, always up for a laugh and takes everything in her stride! The trip was amazing, I loved all the places we went to and activities we did. There is a good mixture of planned activities, optional extras and free time. We got to experience the culture with opportunities that I think would be harder to access as a solo traveller (Khao Sok and the jungle in Chiang Mai). It is a great way to see the highlights of Thailand. Youll never feel like youre on your own and wont have to worry about a thing!
Overall, my experience has been nothing less than fantastic The tour was fairly busy, much more than I would have done otherwise, with fun activities and attractions accross the North, including several that I had never even heard of. Our guide, Sea, was perfect from start to finish. She included lots of local knowledge, traditions and fun facts throughout the tour. We even spent a long time dancing with locals along with our guide in the most inclusive tradition that I've ever been to. It was very fun!
The 18 day tour gives you a fantastic insight into Thailand as a whole from the bustling streets of Bangkok to the peace and quiet of the jungle trek ; stay. Our group leader Mea was brilliant from the start, providing knowledge of the country, helping everyone with onward travel and any queries they had...to also just being a great friend and someone who would listen to problems, and go out of her way to help people and ensure the safety of the group at all times. I initially booked the 12days but knew after day 4/5 I would want to extend to 18 days and Mea made that process really easy, along with everything else she did to support the group.
