We had a wonderful trip traveling with old friends and meeting new ones with a superb guide who knew so much about so many things about Jordan culturally, historically, and geographically. We loved every minute!

We had a fantastic time trying new foods and experiencing new things. I always felt comfortable and taken care of by our guides. Although it was terribly hot and humid we still had a great time meeting new friends, swimming and snorkeling together. We will definitely go on another Adventures with Sarah tour.

This was an amazing trip! We had a fantastic time. Our local tour leader Muhammad was knowledgeable and hilarious! The hotels were nice and clean. All of the food was amazing. I felt safe the whole time, there were no issues at all. Highly recommend this trip to anyone looking to experience different cultures in a wonderful way.

The tour was everything I hoped for. We were fortunate to have Sarah as our tour guide as well as an assistant tour guide, Nikki, who is from Chiang Mai. Together they led a really great tour. Each of my tour mates were wonderful and we all got along well. The accommodations were very nice, especially the resort on Koh Yoa Yai, Koh Yoa Yai Village. This resort has spoiled me for life. The property is beautiful and serene, it consists of luxurious bungalows, the restaurant provided excellent breakfast and dinner choices, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. There was a high-pitched constant noise heard during the day that was very perplexing and it turns out that the noise is caused by insects. Fortunately, they stopped at night. One of the highlights of the tour for me was visiting Following Elephants ethical elephant sanctuary on Koh Lanta. This sanctuary has one male and five female rescued elephants who roam freely around the sanctuary with their Mahouts. We were standing there observing the male and two female elephants listening intently to our guide and they decided to walk right by us. It was such a treat to see elephants up close like that. They are magnificent creatures. The other highlight for me was visiting the Surin Islands on a snorkeling excursion with a stop on an island inhabited by the Moken people or Sea Gypsies. When we arrived on the island, there was a volunteer doling out toys to the children and it was wonderful to see their excited faces. The village consists of huts made from materials found on the island and we were able to get a glimpse inside a few huts and observe how they live. Many of the inhabitants make jewelry and sell it to the tourists. The snorkeling was off the charts. The water is so clear in Thailand and the fish and coral are beautiful and abundant. Overall, I give this tour the highest possible rating and I will definitely sign up for another tour with Adventures with Sarah in the future.

This was a nice blend of group activities and independent time to explore. Some of the activities that I was least excited about (like the Knights Templars tour) ended up being the most interesting and fun - a nice reminder to always keep an open mind. Sarah provided a nice overview of how to use the Paris metro system - this was fantastic! - I love that even after a few days I felt confident navigating the city using public transportation on my own. I loved the location of the hotel on Île Saint-Louis, and Hamid, the breakfast chef, was a real bright spot for everyone during the week. We had such a lovely group - everyone got along well and it was so nice to meet folks with common interests.
