I have recently finished the 13 day Thai Experience with the company and what a wonderful and unforgettable 13 days it has been!
I had the good fortune to be put on a tour with Charlie as Group Leader, and Val, who was training. I cannot ..stress enough how fantastic Charlie was as a Group Leader. The support from Charlie started way before the start of the tour with an email the companyducing himself and then further contact immediately before the tour start date. This is in stark contrast to other tour companies I have travelled with that make no effort to contact whatsoever. This communication from Charlie made me feel at ease and confident in my decision to travel with this incredible company.
Charlie was very knowledgeable about Thailand and would provide us with detailed information about the local area, culture, customs and food. He and Val demonstrated a clear passion for this beautiful country and how to preserve it through making sustainable choices.
Charlie would also provide helpful recommendations for amenities and services, such as laundry and hotel gyms, and would always point me in the direction of where I could get the best oat milk latte! Charlie made fantastic suggestions for the best places to grab some delicious food, which never let me down.
Charlies fun, funny and endlessly kind personality made the tour so special. He was understanding of what I wanted to get from the trip. I felt no pressure from him whatsoever to do anything and appreciated that he was flexible and unwaveringly patient.
Thank you Charlie and Val, you made Thailand a trip of a lifetime for me.Read full review

I did the 9 day Thailand the company trip and it was the most amazing holiday anyone could ask for. I was only heartbroken not to be continuing on to do the 18 day due to other holiday commitments.
All I can say is from the very start our.. leader Zoe was amazing. Its not easy to manage 20+ people but Zoe was a natural. A true credit to the company, from dont forget to text when your home to being like our own personal Google about the information on the areas we were in, no questions were left unanswered.
As for the group. They were the most amazing group of people who all had the same mindset of traveling and making the most of it. Glad to say I have buds for life from the trip and cant wait to book the next one with them!
All in all, Zoe for president. ¸Read full review
I have just got back from the 13 day thai experience tour with Charlie Ganhsam and Val. Charlie was so fun to be around, he made a real effort with everyone one of us and makes us all feel included and cared for. Not only was he highly orga..nised, he always prioritised safety to and I felt so safe on his tour which was really important to me.
Val was also on our tour and her passion and smiley personality shone through. I loved her vibe and the great chats we shared
If anyone is hesitating to book the tour, especially if they are solo travelling, I would just book it. the company makes you feel comfortable and are always there if you have any questions. I loved my experience so book it and dont look back!Read full review
Whoever gets the opportunity to be in a group with Charlie or Val should consider themselves very fortunate! I had my first solo trip to Thailand and was a bit nervous. But having Charlie and Val as group leaders allowed me to enjoy my stay.. and have the trip of a lifetime.
First, I want to commend them on how extremely helpful they are. If I had any questions, concerns, or just wanted to chat they were always there for me. They gave great recommendations and were always on top of things.
Next, I want to recognize how personable they both are which really made the experience worthwhile. And on top of that, they have pretty good dance moves! Charlie needs a bit more practice but that I appreciate his efforts
Finally, the main thing I want to take note of is their love and care for Thailand. I got the gist that they really love and respect the culture. They utilized the language, the local people love them, and they respect their customs. When going to a different country, it is important to also immerse yourself in the culture and follow the local peoples customs to truly have an authentic Thai experience.
I consider Charlie and Val to be absolutely phenomenal group leaders. I wish them all the best and for those who are thinking of going to Thailand, keep an eye out for these two. Theyre sure to make sure you have an amazing trip! ¸Read full review
Just finished the Thai Experience Tour with Charlie and had the best two weeks!
The tour itinerary and activities were great, but what really made the trip was Charlie as a group leader. His enthusiasm and passion for Thailand and making s..ure the whole group was having fun made the two weeks. He was beyond helpful with giving recommendations, always checking in, and making sure that I was having the best time which made the experience what it was.
Charlie and Val evidently work so hard to make the trip a success and anyone who gets them as their group leader are very lucky!Read full review

Charlie went above and beyond to ensure everyone was enjoying themselves, feeling part of the group and having a great tim..e whilst also keeping us on time and in check for all of the activities ; onwards travel - such a bossman.

I was on the 18 days Thailand the company tour with Charlie as my group leader and it was one of the most incredible experiences of my life! First of all, Charlie exceeded all my expectations as a leader and really went above and beyond to ..make sure we had the time of our lives ¸ He did such an amazing job of running the tour so smoothly, being so organised and professional but at the same time being a best friend to each of us and providing top banter £ It made it so much more memorable that it just felt like one big group of friends and we have Charlie to thank for that. He has such amazing energy and enthusiasm for the job, Im jealous of anyone getting to do a tour with him in the future!
The tour itself was outstanding, I didnt think it would be possible to get the full Thailand experience in only 18 days but I felt properly immersed in the culture and had experiences that you would never have organising it yourself as a backpacker. Thailand is a beautiful country with so many unique activities and the friendliest locals. The tour fits so much in without feeling too rushed. I also felt so safe and looked after by Charlie as well as it being completely stress free since it was all organised for us down to the finest details. I cant recommend it enough and have already put a deposit down for another tour.
Lastly, my group were amazing, I feel so lucky with the people I have met and I know I have made friends for life. Doing a group tour is the absolute best way to travel in my opinion. You will make lifelong memories! Read full review

The itinerary is top notch and you have peace of mind that all the admin and prep is done for you behind the scenes (shoutout to the group leaders for the amazing job they all do!) ’»Read full review

I have just finished the 13 day Thai experience trip and I could not recommend it highly enough. This was my first solo trip which I was quite nervous for but I couldnt have enjoyed it more. Our tour leader, Sophie, was so reassuring and ma..de the trip even better with her fun and life loving attitude. She helped create a wonderful atmosphere which made it so easy for the group to bond and she always went above and beyond. All of the traveling between destinations was seamless and the trip was a good balance between activities and chilled time. I will definitely be doing another the company trip again in the future.Read full review
As a first time solo traveller, the Thai Experience lead by Sophie Duncan has set the bar extremely high.
The itinerary was jam packed with bucket list memories which I feel incredibly fortunate to have experienced in such a short space o..f time. I want to say a special thank you to Sophie who exceeded all expectations as a group leader - her energy was infectious and she is truly a great asset to the company!Read full review
