Our adventure kicked off on Halloween night in Bangkok.The air buzzed with excitement as we explored the vibrant streets, neon-lit markets, and sampled street food that was both delicious and daring. Sea, our spirited guide, set the tone for an unforgettable journey. * Then ,We ventured to Kanchanaburi, a place steeped in history and The River Kwai. With Sea leading the way, we discovered temples old and new ,we trekked through lush jungles, discovering hidden waterfalls and immersed ourselves in the culture of a local tribe during our homestay. Sea surprised us with an adrenaline-packed day of zip lining through the jungle which was filled with stunning panoramic views , then of to an Elephant samctuary. We fed, bathed, and connected with these gentle giants, understanding the importance of ethical wildlife experiences. Chiang Mai welcomed us with open arms. Sea guided us through ancient temples . And As dusk settled, we explored the bustling markets , bargaining for souvenirs and savoring street delicacies * The winding road led us to the town of. Pai. Sea ,introduced us to Amazing views taking In a beautiful sun set and Hot Springs , where we soaked away our worries. Our journey came full circle as we returned to chiang Mia . Talk turned to The memories and friends we’d made along the way . We also experienced how it is to cook authentic Thai food with a cooking master class . Sea, with her infectious laughter and wealth of knowledge, has become more than a guide; she is now our friend. * The Sea orchestrated a symphony of adventure, culture, and camaraderie. We laughed, we learned, and we left a piece of our souls in Thailand. As we boarded our flight home, we knew this trip was more than a vacation—it was a transformation. ???????? Sea, you’re not just a guide; you’re a storyteller, a connector, and a guardian of memories. Thank you for making our 14 days in Thailand extraordinary. Until we meet again! Paddy Reilly x

Our tour started with Sea and Ming and unfortunately Ming had to leave to go with another tour. But let me tell you about Sea. Sea was an absolute joy to be with and went above and beyond on our tour. She constantly gave us more ideas for our evenings and helped us book them. Answered all of our questions about Thai culture over and over again and helped us to try new food at every restaurant. I can not recommend sea enough she made this whole experience.

I did the 14 days Northern Thailand adventure with Sea as our tour guide. She really went the extra mile to ensure all our needs were met and that we were always having the best time. She has been such a big part of an amazing memorable trip which wouldn’t have been possible without her being so wonderful! As well as a tour guide she became our friend and I am so thankful to have experienced Northern Thailand with her as our guide. Thank you and a big thank you to Sea for being the best - you’ve been such a big part to one of the best experiences of my life!

Dear Sea, I don’t know how to tell you how thankful I am for everything you’ve done. You are an amazing tour guide but most of all an absolute joy to be around. You’ve showed us so much about your country, culture, food etc. You made sure that we got the ultimate experience by budgeting and planning for extra activities. You made my Thailand experience more then I could’ve wished for

Sea is the best tour guide I could have ever asked for! She made us all feel welcome, was very informative and made us all laugh. The experience wouldn’t have been the same without her and I will always cherish the memories we made. Everything on the trip was organised and ran smoothly which made the experience 10/10. She organised extra activities for us and always gave recommendations which helped us embrace the Thai culture. She was supportive and caring if anyone was poorly and she made the atmosphere feel like a home from home. She has made the trip an unforgettable experience and I couldn’t recommend her enough! Thank you Sea for opening my eyes to Thai culture and giving me the most magical 14 days in Thailand!

I don’t even know how to put into words how amazing the last 14 days have been and that is all thanks to our wonderful tour guide Sea! From the moment we started the trip and even before we got on the plane it was so well organised and her communication was fantastic. Sea made everyone feel welcome so quickly and we have all bonded as a group, I have truly made friends for life. Every activity on the trip was incredible and Sea brought a great energy and enthusiasm everyday. Sea went over and above arranging dinner reservations, extra evening activities, always catering to what we wanted to see and made sure we didn’t miss anything out. The timing was always spot on, we never missed or was late to anything. Her passion and enthusiasm for the culture in Thailand is something she should be very proud of and we are so lucky she has shared this with us. Sea has not only been our tour guide but has become our friend and we will never forget her. Sea cared for group members when they were sick or ill, she was always kind and made sure we were not lonely and she showed us the best dance moves in Thailand! Having travelled many times before i have never experienced such a well planned tour and amazing tour guide. Sea is simply the best and I know our whole group would agree! She deserved to go far in her career and I wish her all the success. We will miss her so much on the next part of our tour :( We hope to all have a reunion either in Thailand or the UK one day and will stay in touch inbetween.

My northern Thailand experience has been amazing. This was all thanks to my amazing travel ninja Sea! Sea went above and beyond throughout the whole trip to make it as memorable as possible for each and every member of the group. She welcomed us every morning with her incredibly positive smile and got us excited for the day ahead which she had planned with great love and care. I will miss her dearly and hope to get her as a guide for future trips.

Sea, our tour guide was amazing. From the moment she entered the room to greet the group she was a bundle of energy and automatically brought the group together and made us feel at home! Sea was extremely caring and attentive - offering constant advice and providing all the remedies when any of us were under the weather. Sea went above and beyond in arranging activities that went beyond the itinerary such as Muay Thai and group dinners out which again helped to create a great group dynamic. All activities that we done on the tour were fun and experiences you would not have found elsewhere such as a village home stay and bamboo rafting. Sea only elevated these experiences with her positive attitude and bubbly personality. Sea was a bundle of laughs, full of facts and insights and genuinely the most kindhearted person I have met. She made the tour spectacular and I cannot thank her enough! We love you Sea!!

This was the most incredible trip. From start to finish Sea took the best care of us and was incredibly well organised and brought all the positive energy we needed on tired mornings. The activities themselves were unforgettable especially the home stay and Elephant sanctuary. You see and experience so much in the two weeks it’s mind blowing. We were always picked up by our transport on time and knew Sea was on hand if we ever needed help. When I became ill she was right there by my side which I massively appreciated. Sea is the cutest and most lovely guide, her knowledge on Thai culture and the places we visited was amazing and we could never ask too many questions as she was always happy to answer. Her energy is contagious and you can’t help but have a good time in her presence. If you are lucky enough to have Sea as your tour guide you’re in for a treat as she makes the whole experience a trip of a lifetime!!

My experience so far with this has been exceptional. Everything is organised so well, and it is so nice to not worry about transport, booking tours etc. Everything has been on time and well thought out - for example, rest mornings and days after busy days. We saw so much in so little time but nothing felt rushed. We experienced various forms of transport and ways of seeing things, such as cycling, tuktuks and walking. We had opportunity to try different foods, but also options for comfort food from home. Our tour guide Sea was absolutely outstanding. She was fun, knowledgeable and always went above and beyond for us. She organised extra activities for us such as specific nights out, cabarets, Muay Thai, that weren’t part of the itinerary. She always asked our opinions so she could tailor the experience to the group. I didn’t have to worry about missing anything, because she had always thought of it ahead of time to ensure we had the best experience. Every time we went for meals, transport and tables were always booked ahead of time, even with short notice. She was so caring and always looked out for us, encouraging us to try new things. She was our biggest cheerleader and I always felt safe in her hands. If there were any problems, she was the first to make sure they were fixed. Her energy and positivity helped keep momentum in the group and I couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide to experience Thailand with. She was so proud to share her culture, language and customs with us, and was always interested to learn about ours. Our first friend in Thailand that I will remember forever.

We had the best time with Sea. Not only was she a wonderful guide, but I made a life long friend. She is great at her job, getting everyone where they needed to be on time and making sure everyone was ok. There was 15 of us and 1 of her, and she truly took such good care of us. I would recommend her 10/10, and would do another tour with her in a heartbeat.

There are so many reasons why I’ve had the best two weeks in northern Thailand so it’s hard to know where to start! From the very first day when we were all getting to know each other in a new scary place the tour felt very accommodating and not pressuring to drink or party- the main aim from Sea was that we all felt comfortable and we’re having the best time, whatever that meant to each of us! A very special moment for me was the visit to the hill tribe and getting the opportunity to present the children with toys and sweets, and it was a real pleasure to get the chance to do that trip. The places Sea took us to eat and the food she recommended were always delicious despite our group being quite big! She is so knowledgable and the way she talked us through her culture during temple visits kept us all engaged even in immense heat. Sea always checked in with us to make sure we understood or if we had any questions as she went along which gave everyone the chance to understand all of the information. One particular credit to Sea was our first night out on Khao San road which happened to fall on Halloween which is a huge festival here so every bar was completely full with people but Sea kept us moving and got us in somewhere we could all still chat and get to know each other as for our first night out she wanted to make sure we had a great time despite the unusual circumstances that night. Sea made me feel safe, cared for, protected and understood as an individual and I am so grateful I got to share this fantastic experience with such an amazing tour guide. Sea organised us incredibly throughout the 2 weeks and kept us on schedule, always explaining exactly what we needed each day and what to expect. Sea provided us with her own water, food, medicines and oils to keep us cool during the heat and her main priority was our comfort, enjoyment and safety. Sea suggested places for us to eat and places to go in our own time and was so invested in ensuring we see the absolute best northern Thailand has to offer. Every second spent on this tour has been the best trip of my life and I wouldn’t have wanted to see Northern Thailand through anyone else’s eyes other than Sea’s and I am forever grateful to her for this.

The tour was amazing, the group was lovely, and Eve and Taro guided us real well with all information and to be able to rely on them when we needed help. They were always ready to help us with anything (much more than just food reccomendations on the menu). I have made some very special memories on the tour, and also with Eve and Taro specifically. Love, Wouter.

Eve and Taro were our tour guides for the 14-day Northern Thailand Adventure, and they were great. Always up for a laugh and easy to get along with, the pair of them definitely enhanced our experience of the tour. It wouldn’t have been the same without them! We really enjoyed the activities and they were organised well and as an added bonus it never felt like there was pressure to partake in everything on offer! Thanks again TruFam! ??

Where do I start? Our experience with this has exceeded my expectations. Myself and my boyfriend have never been on a group tour before so we were abit nervous to begin with. Once we met Arthur our nerves were immediately gone as he was so welcoming & kind. Throughout the whole tour Arthur was there for us to answer any questions & calm any worries. He was so knowledgeable & thorough with all information he gave on our day trips. Every day was so much fun with Arthur as he was always so enthusiastic & excited!! Couldn’t recommend Arthur and tru travels enough!
10/31/2023
Being my first group tour and visit to Thailand, I had mixed emotions. I felt anxious, excited and overwhelmed all in one. However, as soon as I met our tour guide, Arthur, my mind was put at ease! He welcomed my best friend and I to our starting hotel with open arms and has been supportive throughout the whole tour. Any questions we had were answered quickly and he always made sure we had a great time. Arthur’s energy was infectious and he truly made the whole experience unforgettable.
