Great Experience - My husband and I were transported in an air conditioned car. Having a driver and guide made the day very easy and informative. We were taken to very clean eating places that provided delicious food and iced Thai coffee and given ice cold bottled water regularly. This tour allowed us to learn about daily life, religion and culture in this very beautiful area of Thailand. We would thoroughly recommend this tour.

Excellent tour of the area and insight into the Tsunami - The Tsunami memorial and museum were very interesting. Our guide Sayan was great. He is a Tsunami survivor and his story of his experience added to the tour.

It was a hoax - The guide was not a guide. The company sent a person to accompany us on the walk: "you can go here, wherever you want" the "guide" told us. I asked her about the tsunami when I went to the Memorial - "I don't know" was the answer. The tour lasted 3 hours, not 6 as specified in the description. Don't get me wrong- the driver and the young lady who was the guide were very kind, nice.
