Amber Givoni  

8 day Thailand Experience Tour with Peanut

Aug 2023

I loved the 8 day Thailand tour! As a female solo traveller I felt safe and comfortable and it was a great way to meet new people. The tour itself was great, lots to do but not too jam packed so it still felt like a holiday. The tour felt well organised with everything going smoothly and lots included. The highlight by far was our tour guide Peanut. I think I might have to cut cashews out of my life for good just in pure solidarity and support of this beautiful human. Peanut was such a warm, positive energy on this trip. Always helpful, with an impressive ability to wrangle up all group members, Peanut ensured everything ran smoothly and was always open to adapting to the needs of the group. Peanut was considerate, attentive, helpful, positive & informative, and always went above and beyond to help make our trip the best it could be! Amber Givoni - Aug 2023 ...more ...less
