5.00We booked with Viator and confirmed by I Asia with our hotel pick up within a couple of hours. There were only 4 of us so it was almost a private tour. Everything was well worth our time... the hot springs, the white temple, the opium museum, seeing the three countries at once from the viewpoint was magnificent. Also the hill tribes and long neck women, as well as the Thai lunch. Driver and guide took great care of us: cold water, rest stops and explaining everything from start to finish. When the guide can answer our questions besides the main information they plan to tell everyone you get your money's worth!!
