Our trip to the elephant sanctuary and Erewan waterfall was a highlight of our Thailand holiday. Our guide, Siri, had a great sense of humour, and was really informative about the places we were visiting, and the stories behind them. He was also a deft hand with his camera, and took some truly beautiful photos of our family, all shared with us. The car was comfortable and the elephant sanctuary was kind to the elephants, with a beautiful aspect by the river, and very welcoming staff. The lunch was great too. It was great to finish the day at the waterfall to cool down (although the compulsory life jacket was a bit restrictive - but the beauty of the waterfalls more than made up for it!) All in all, this tour was a big hit with the family, and we especially appreciated Siri's efforts in making this tour such a hit. would definitely recommend...

the tour is a must, even when the weather is hot, the tour is well organized, having 5 stops 30 to 60 min each with 10-20 min in the ac van and drinking a lot, the heat is manageable. bell was our guide, he was wonderfull. explained everything and handle our questions with great proffessionalism! very recommended tour with plenty to see, very interesting cultural and historical experience.

Paul is an awesome guide, because he is so knowledgeable, but also enthusiasticly shares his knowledge. and if there is something you don't know you can just ask him😄 11/10 great tour
