A pure motorbike adventure and an intrepid journey through the real Asia. We had an amazing trip through the mountains and valleys of Laos. Shane and the team were well organised and had lots of useful information on the region, history and some great hidden gems. A trip I will never forget!

I loved this trip so much! Our group of four women spent three full days driving through the Doi Inthanon National Park area, and I can't imagine a better way to see this beautiful part of the country than this trip. We all agreed that we were happiest when we were driving or riding along in our tuk tuks, but another highlight for me was the beautiful hike on our last day through waterfalls, rice fields, and a cute village. The campsite on the first night was comfortable and the tents were clean, and our host Ken made a delicious meal over the campfire. Bruce and Yaya were the perfect guides, and I really enjoyed getting to know them through the whole trip. We stopped at unique places that we never would have found on our own, and even got to drive through a brand new stretch of the road that was completely empty (and beautiful). I can't recommend this trip more!

We had an absolutely wonderful time on the all-day "Doi Suthep & Inthanon National Park Day Tour". Our guide, Maggie, could not have been nicer. She was genuinely excited to share her knowledge and love of Thai culture, history, and religion as we visited the beautiful temples and nature sites on the tour. And she's a great photographer to boot--she knew exactly where to set up the best Instagram-ready shots, if that's your bag. The van was quiet, comfortable and air-conditioned and our driver Ut navigated the sometimes windy roads without raising my pulse rate. The tour included a hearty, delicious Thai lunch in a lovely local restaurant at the foot of the Inthanon hills. Even though I had to catch the overnight train to Bangkok right at the time the tour was due to end, Maggie made sure that we were able to see everything without ever making us feel rushed. We had plenty of time for relaxing, souvenir hunting, and sipping delicious northern Thai coffee. We're already planning a return visit to go on one of her hiking tours!

Two friends and I did a two-day tour which included seeing elephants, bamboo rafting and jungle trekking. We enjoyed every minute of it. Samart was a great guide and extremely knowledgeable, we loved the beautiful views from our accommodation at Spicy Villa, and the food was fantastic – every meal was a feast, even when served up by a waterfall in the jungle. The chance to feed and bathe with the elephants was particularly special and the staff seem to have a good connection with them, managing them with voice commands only. Thanks for a great weekend!

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.

My guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. He and his driver picked me up, and dropped me off, at my hotel, even though it is well north of downtown. The Grand Palace and Wat Arun are amazing. I strongly recommend this tour. Be prepared for a LOT of walking.
