Truly enjoyed every second of our private cycling trip with K. Jib. Toured Sukhothai historical park and the lush green surroundings for a full (rainy) day with our 3 boys and none of them complained once as they were entertained, informed and challenged by our guide - in Dutch and English. Highly recommend this warm and knowledgeable family run tour company.

We spent two days with Ata--one in Chiang Mai and one in Chiang Rai. He was very knowledgable and friendly. Originally from a mountain tribe and having had experience as a novice monk earlier in his life, he was a wealth of interesting cultural information. Also, Untouched Thailand was very flexible in designing the trip that we wanted. Highly recommended!

We visited Bangkok in February and we booked an 8 hour private tour with Apple. Everything was very professional from booking the tour, correspondence with the office and execution of the tour. First, you have to except the philosophy of the company - you have to have your wish list prepared in advance. We started the day a little bit different like the others. Our 3 year old son got a mild allergy in the morning and we asked our guide Apple if we can visit the hospital first. She immediately organized everything. We went with Apple to private hospital which was, by the way, the best modern hospital which I ever saw. Luckily everything was ok with our son, so we continued with the tour. We visited Grand Palace which is really the best attraction in Bangkok. Apple guided us through the complex with interesting explanation for us. We went for lunch to nearby Navy club with good Thai dishes and affordable prices. We continued with traditional long tail boat ride. In the end Apple also answered all our questions about modern Thailand. Also the controversial ones. Me and my wife are working as tour guides in our country, so we can confirm excellent work of our guide Apple. Thank you Apple! You fulfilled our expectations.

We went on a one day cycling trip with this company to Ayutthaya. The Wats and ruins are so much better seen from bikes. The guides English was perfect and he was very informative. I loved seeing the elephant farm. The lunch in the floating restaurant was fantastic. I highly recommend this trip.

Train market was actually nothing special it definitely interesting and no need to skip if it is on your way but don't expect too much. Good thing is that you don't loose much time there. At Floating Market boat ride is interesting. You can get really good photos. Take cash and negotiate the price. There is a money exchange but you need a passport with you.
