“The country side of northern thailand, I never thought I would enjoy this much. The train ride was fun, the rice field and farms are astonishing, so peaceful and beautiful.” Full Review
“The country side of northern thailand, I never thought I would enjoy this much. The train ride was fun, the rice field and farms are astonishing, so peaceful and beautiful. Although the long ride on the bike was quite tiring under the sun, but I enjoyed every part of it. Our guide “Tiew” made sure that we are safe and having fun. He explains the history of the town and temples, the process of farming or whichever silly questions we ask. We really appreciate his passion for this work and care for others. So thank u!” Less

“If you’re looking for an engaging, comprehensive One Tree Hill tour—this is for YOU! We booked with Eric on an impromptu trip to Wilmington fairly last minute and it far exceeded expectations. First, Eric was on time and ready to roll when we pulled up—we actually didn’t book properly (didn’t include our 6 year old) so he had to drive across town to get a replacement bike so our 6 year old could ride too…he didn’t even pause, just offered a solution and made it happen! Eric was engaged, energetic, extremely personable the entire time, and knew all the ins and outs of the show, city, and notable spots to get photos. Eric was also intentional with some stops along the way for lunch and recommended some solid options for us ahead of time, and we even stopped downtown and had a drink before finishing our tour which we appreciated. We’re already looking forward to doing another tour the next time we’re back in town. Thanks, Eric!” Less
