Ms Nok was a lovely tour guide, very pleasant and spoke good English and accommodated well. We had a wonderful time visiting all the temples in the itinerary and you get ample time learning about them from Ms Nok and photo-taking time for each. The reclining Buddha was stunning and enormous in size! Take note that lunch is not included in this package, only bottled water, so bring cash as Nok the guide suggested a few local places and well worth it!

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)

Visiting a one of the numerous Karen Long Neck villages in Thailand is one of the most exotic experiences on the planet. The mystery and beauty that sound the tradition of using brass rings for exaggerated jewelry is something better seen in person than in a book. We had ethical questions on if it these hill tribe villages would feel like human zoos, but thankfully we decided to visit anyway. It is a real life National Geographic Magazine to have to see to believe.

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.

Our tour was with Travel China Guide. It was well organized, everyone spoke very good English, the food was great, visited lots of places and we had a great time. Our tour was in May so it was rather hot but not as many tourists and crowds to deal with. We had six of us on a private tour and that is the only way to go. It is so nice to travel in a small group. Since we had a small group we could adjust the schedule when the weather was to hot, especially the first few days. We went from Alberta, Canada with 15 C to Bangkok 35 C and high humidity. It took us a few days to adjust. This is our second trip with Travel China Guide, we also did China two years ago on a Small Group Tour. Both trips were amazing and I would recommend Travel China Guide for any trips to Asia.

Tony was a great guide for this tour. He knew a lot about each place we visited, and he had it timed perfectly for sunset at Wat Huay Pla Kang and then for the Blue Temple's illumination. We arrived at the clock tower about ten minutes before the music and light show started. Tony actually created a short video and sent it to us! We highly recommend this tour with Tony!
