We recommend this tour and requesting Johnny as your guide! Johnny is the best tour guide - he is very knowledgeable, kind, thoughtful, and energetic, and he made our tour so much fun. Johnny checked (Read More)in with us the night before the tour, which we really appreciated. Throughout the tour, he made sure we were comfortable with the activities and having a good time. We felt very safe with him. Johnny also took great pictures of us and made sure we had cold water, bathroom stops, hand sanitizer, and cold towelettes throughout the day. The itinerary was seamless, the transportation was comfortable (big van with AC), and the food was delicious. Thank you, Johnny, for such a great day!

We had a very impressive tour with Knack. Knack is the best guide I have ever had. She is very attentive, polite, friendly and gives a lot of interesting information and makes the tour very individual (Read More). We also visited a coconut farm and tasted lots of traditional Thai delicacies. We were very surprised that everything was included also the food, water, snacks and entrance fees. I can only recommend anyone to book this tour with Knack.
