Just finished the Thailand Island Hopper tour and it was the trip of a lifetime! Made the best by our tour guides Max and Arthur, visited so many amazing places and made so many friends. Thank you!!
Great trip overall - a real journey Just returned from this trip . Myself , my husband and 3 more friends went on the trip - we are all keen on cycle touring. For myself and my husband, our overall experience was very good . Our guide, Chai was the best we have ever had . He dealt with a varied group with humour, fantastic organisation and always a smile. The group we were with was made up of British , Canadian, American and Australian cyclists . The group was great and bonded well under Chai's expert guidance.
Culturally the trip is very interesting - Angkor Wat is fascinating and beautiful and the Killing Fields in Cambodia were life changing. Travelling through the 3 countries and seeing the various levels of development, political situations and living conditions was interesting and sometimes disturbing.
However the cycling itself was sometimes disappointing - in the first few days there is rather a lot of cycling along straight, featureless , flat roads in 35 degrees of heat. Being taken out to eat local food in the evenings was very enjoyable and welcome after this.
Cycling around Angkor Wat and the various temples which make up the complex was beautiful and the cycling in Vietnam is amazing - cycling through communities , hopping on and off ferries - everywhere a riot of colour and interest.
The Thailand Island Hopper Tour Exceeded Our expectations! The southern Thailand tour went above and beyond all our expectations. After completing the northern Thailand adventure, we transitioned into island life by joining the Thailand Island Hopper tour. The shift from the bustling city of Bangkok to the islands was made even better by our two incredibly friendly tour guides, Arthur and Ali. They warmly welcomed us and proved to be true gems throughout the journey. The organisation of the tour was exceptional , covering everything from transportation and accommodations to the well-planned day trips. It would have been challenging for us to arrange all of this on our own while traveling solo. Thanks to the tour's meticulous planning, everything became much easier and hassle-free. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend the tour to anyone considering it. The exceptional planning, combined with the friendly and supportive tour guides, made this experience truly unforgettable. It's a journey that exceeded all our expectations and left us with cherished memories of southern Thailand.
