I was part of a group of 20 that booked a 2 week trip to Thailand through SmarTour (we all know each other from Pennsylvania, USA). We landed in Bangkok and traveled north. Without a doubt the trip was AWESOME! I can say that SmarTours puts a fantastic package together, all I needed to do was show up (our Pennsylvania group leader Ling, organized the trip with the SmarTour contact). Chaiyan our tour guide, was excellent: engaging, organized, easy, knowledgeable and funny. After being tethered together with Chaiyan for 2 weeks, it was hard to say goodbye to him at the airport in Chiang Mai. As for Thailand itself, WOW! if you have any hesitations about Thailand, fear not. Thai people understand English and want to help you get around, most signage is in English, the food is off the charts delicious, its safe to walk around, there is a ton of Asian culture that's fascinating and you'll meet plenty of American and Europeans. Thailand is on my list to visit again next year. Next time, I will hang in Bangkok longer and head south to the beaches. People, add Thailand to your travels and book through SmarTours.

Thank you Smartours for such an interesting, memorable and well organized tour. Our tour guide was courteous and professional. His knowledge of the history and culture of Thailand was very extensive. He had a great sense of humor that made his talks humorous and most interesting. Tan was very attentive to everyone in the group. It was so nice of him to escort us to a store to buy a camera because we had lost ours. I would be amiss if I didn't mention the excellent and helpful bus driver and his assistant. It was also very enjoyable to travel with a such a friendly group of people that were very helpful. In Cambodia our guide Sith Ross was also very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Cambodia. Our only concern about the trip was having an hour and a half to make a transfer in Beijing which has a huge international airport. We arrived from New York and we had to transfer for a flight to Bangkok. We almost missed our flight. Fortunately we received transportation to our gate in an electric airport vehicle. Other people on our tour had a similar experience. We realize it was out of Smartours control because of flight changes and airline schedules. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. We can't wait to take another trip with Smartours. We highly recommend a tour with Smartours.

Ketsara was an outstanding guide for our trip Nov 17-29. She worked to make sure that each individual had the experience heshe was looking for. When we expressed an interest in going to Jim Thompson House in Bangkok, she asked if anyone else was interested and took us on the ferry and skytrain on her time off. In Chiang Mai, she arranged for a minivan to take us and several others to a hilltribe village nearby. She went above and beyond in her attention to all members of the tour.

We were nervous due to the low cost, but the tour was a fun, safe, and organized experience. The tour guide was amazing and very helpful.

During the tour I knew it was one of the best tours I'd taken. And I simply adored Ketsara from the moment she greeted us at the airport. But it wasn't until I began to relive the trip through my pictures that I realize how amazing, educational, and fun the tour was. I am seriously considering doing it again.

I had such a great time. Ketsara the tour guide was one of the best I've ever had. She went out of her way to be sure the group tried everything and had options to have the most full experience possible.

Amazing Thailand was made phenomenal because of our guide Ketsara who attended to all our personal needs and request and interacted with each of us individually; Ketsara is profoundly knowledgeable about her beloved Thailand and willingly shared her love and knowledge.

Our tour 19-27 April, 2016 was a fantastic "Enchanting Peru" experience. We started in Cuzco with rain showers during our shaman blessing, but the weather was unbeatable the rest of our stay. Dagmar was our tour guide with Abel assisting at Lake Titicaca. Both were extraordinarily good with historical and site information, restaurant recommendations, free time suggestions and shopping ideas. We could have not been more blessed with our hosts, our accommodations and our itinerary. Truly a great experience for all.
