“We had an absolutely amazing time with our guide Shane! It truly could not have been a better experience. When Shane learned that it was our last day in Thailand, he went out of his way to make sure that every part of our tour was perfect from providing fascinating details about Thailand during the drive, taking professional quality photographs, playing our favorite music, pointing out wildlife (wild elephants!!!) and feeding us well. We cannot recommend this tour, and our tour guide Shane, highly enough.”

“I paid an extraordinary amount for this tour and mainly chose it for my husband who likes to fish because it said it provided two fishing poles but when I asked about it, they said that was a different tour (even though it said on the "what's included" list. Then we went to James Bond Island and we were rushed the whole way. The boat and crew were great but the guide and plan was not.
