A fabulous tour - An absolutely fabulous day. It was just the two of us with the tour guide and driver. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and answered all of our questions about the history and culture of Thailand. Lunch was amazing in a beautiful, natural setting. I highly recommend this tour.

Fantastic experience - We had an absolutely fantastic day out visiting the Golden Triangle and the two hill tribes. Our guide Jackey was very friendly and knowledgeable and went out of his way to make sure we were well looked after. A particular highlight of the day was the Opium Museum and lunch at a local restaurant. We were so happy with the day we booked the same tour company to take us trekking through hill tribes to the Huay Kaew waterfall. Once again we were very happy with our guide, Jackey, especially with the phenomenal banquet lunch he made for us, which he carried all the way up the mountain, and then cooked at 900m! Overall, very happy customers!

Great trip to the hill tribes and border towns - Our guide was great - very friendly and informative, our transport very comfortable. We stopped at hill tribe villages and saw their way of life and village handicrafts. We stopped at Maisae, a border town, and the crossing into Myanmar. The town was a hive of activity. Our tour of the market showing local produce from Myanmar was very interesting. Next we went to Chiang Saen and the opium museum. We saw the wonderful golden Buddha and great views across the Mekong to Myanmar and Laos. We had a lunch stop for 1 hour - the food was very good. This tour was one of the highlights of our trip so far
