Great Tour To See the Wats & Long Neck Tribe

This was a wonderful tour. The pick up and drop off was seamless. Great tour guide for the long trip. Very informative and I never felt rushed. Highly recommend!

Great temples and cultural highlights

I really enjoyed visiting the White Temple, Blue Temple, and Black House in one trip. Each place had its own unique style. The guide explained the history in an easy-to-understand way.

So much to see in one day

It was a long day but never felt boring. Every stop was different, and I especially enjoyed the White Temple. The guide kept everything organized and shared interesting local stories along the way.

Very mixed review.

Very good food but it took too long; we had to ask at least 4 times.

Drive away

This was just nonsense, limited to fraud. We paid for visiting salespeople, with sellers having some rings around their necks. (illusion)
