We had the best time on this tour! Our guides, Jackie and Fang, were both fantastic. They were so kind and friendly and were also very knowledgeable about the sites we visited. I would recommend this tour to anybody! We enjoyed every minute.

We very much enjoyed our trip and our guide Susan was very wonderful! Telling us both facts about the history and giving us tips. We very much als enjoyed having our “own time” in Erawan National Park and it was nice that everything went in our tempo. Would recommend

Our guide, Dew, was excellent. He shared a lot of interesting information, perfectly adapted so that our children could easily follow and stay engaged.
He also managed the timing very well, which allowed us to be back at our hotel on time for our evening massage appointment, something we really appreciated.
At lunchtime, he ordered for us at the restaurant, choosing many local specialties. The meal was very generous and absolutely delicious.
We highly recommend Dew as a guide!

We booked a private day tour including Erawan Falls and Kanchanaburi historical sights. Our guide Fang was brilliant as well as the driver. They made us feel very welcome, he shared a lot of information and accompanied us in the perfect way. Everything was of a high standard including the car, lunch etc. We would always book again with them and highly recommend the tour with a guide for more insights, shortcuts and to find the way least crowded. Thank you!
