I am very glad I went and experienced these countries. I do wish there were more activities offered, especially for someone like me who loves adventure. Our CEOs were absolutely incredible and so knowledgable. I was never disappointed with either of them

As I stated before, the Thai island hopping tour was not suitable for anyone over 50. I felt absolutely out of place.
