Great Experience - My husband and I were transported in an air conditioned car. Having a driver and guide made the day very easy and informative. We were taken to very clean eating places that provided delicious food and iced Thai coffee and given ice cold bottled water regularly. This tour allowed us to learn about daily life, religion and culture in this very beautiful area of Thailand. We would thoroughly recommend this tour.

Excellent tour of the area and insight into the Tsunami - The Tsunami memorial and museum were very interesting. Our guide Sayan was great. He is a Tsunami survivor and his story of his experience added to the tour.

Interesting Tour - We had a lovely, memorable tour with our guide who provided us with interesting commentary throughout the day. The Tsunami Memorial Museum was humbling and we enjoyed wandering around Takua Pa and sampling some local iced coffee.

Good cultural day - Had a very good day! Ended up just being me and my partner with Mr Mark as our driver which made it a more personal experience. Was enlightening to visit the tsunami memorial, really put it into perspective just what a tragedy it was. My favourite part was the temple visit.

Day tour to Takuapa Old Town - Great tour with a very knowledgeable tour guide. Wonderful way to spend a rainy day in Khao Lake. The lunch that was provided was amazing from Happy Beach. The old town was very quaint with colourful buildings and the history was interesting to hear. Went to a couple of temples and the guide explantion of the history was very informative. I would highly recommend this tour.

It was a hoax - The guide was not a guide. The company sent a person to accompany us on the walk: "you can go here, wherever you want" the "guide" told us. I asked her about the tsunami when I went to the Memorial - "I don't know" was the answer. The tour lasted 3 hours, not 6 as specified in the description. Don't get me wrong- the driver and the young lady who was the guide were very kind, nice.
