Suree was an excellent tour guide – a friendly, professional, and exceptionally knowledgeable. Having traveled the world on many tours, she is in the top tier that I have encountered. Numerous times, she went out of her way to ensure we fully enjoyed the Thailand experiences. I would recommend her “specifically” to any of my friends coming to Thailand.

While the tour was great, what made it great truly was our tour guide, Suree. Her authenticity, true kindness, and warmth made the trip most memorable. Patient and good-natured, she was also knowledgeable, and had great empathy. I will always remember the tour because of her.
P.S. And we had a magnificent bus driver with great driving skills. He always cared for and tended to our comfort. Some parts of the route were challenging, but he navigated them with skill, and our overall experience exceeded expectations. Sometimes, unexpected events occur, but he handled them well.

Boom and our driver were fantastic! Both were friendly, flexible with the itinerary and knowledgeable about the different cities and sights. Due to it being a more intimate tour(only 2 of us!), Boom was able to add in a few more stops for us to visit, which we loved. She was very friendly and caring, ensuring we were okay. Overall, a wonderful trip with Boom and our driver. A huge thank you to the both of them!
