Its unfortunate that the temples were in ruins and some vandalized. This was still a very good tour. The architecture is amazing to see even in its destruction. The only problem was our guide. He didn't seem to be very knowledgeable or willing to walk thru with us through the tour. At one point he suggested listening to another tour guide. I would say take the tour, but make sure you have a Tour Guide who is hydrated, willing to walk around and knows the history.

We used I Asia Thailand (we used them last year) and we rented a van with guide Woody and driver. We requested Woody after good comments and feedback. We did a 8 hour day trip and they were punctual, dressed well, excellent English and very informative. We started from Patong and made our way north before stopping for lunch and then east road back to the south to the many view points. The van was clean with great aircon and wifi!!!. We also had our own hand sanitiser and also wipes throughout the day. I would suggest and recommend I Asia Thailand to any family and friends. We would happily use their services again!

All I can say is WOW! The Zanzibar Traditional Cooking Class was WAY more than just cooking! It was a full on indulgence into the local lifestyle and the authentic culture of these beautiful people. Lutfia is an absolute darling who exudes warmth from the moment you meet her and just goes the extra mile. The other folk that you come into contact with each also have their own unique characters and are a real treat. The whole experience is just one surprise after the other and kept me mesmerized the entire afternoon. I highly recommend this activity - don't leave zanzibar without doing it. One of my highlights of my trip! (They also sell some of their spices, so do take some extra cash)

The giant Buddha statue is a MUST to visit the in Phuket. But try to go in the early morning as the sun will rise facing the Big Buddha and you can get a nice picture of the Buddha with clear blue sky behind.

Took this graduation trip with a couple of buds. Really awesome manager, boat crew and staff. Super accommodating. I and a few of my friends were vegetarians who shared a boat with a Russian tourist group primarily all omnivores, my tour guide went out of her way to order vegetarian dishes at all our stops. Also a very well planned your, couldn't have covered so many spots if not for Amici Mei. Keep up the awesomeness ❤️

We did a Bangkok temple tour and visit to bridge over the river Kwai. Pete was our tour guide and he is exceptional at what he does. He is very well known within the trade and if you’re with Pete you are a VIP. Kom was our driver and shuttled is to and from airport and our adventures! He is a great driver I would not want to drive there!
