It was a busy and fun day. Be prepared for a sales pitch at Gems Gallery, but it's still a good stop. Also dress appropriately for visiting temples (no tank tops, shorts). Our guide was very personable and kept things moving at the right pace.

Ellie was our tour guide and it could not have been better organized. The timing at each location is spot on, allowing you to look around and take pictures without having a long wait to continue the trip. You travel in an air-conditioned minivan and the group size is limited to a maximum of 10 participants, which makes it a very manageable size. We would do it again anytime.

We went ziplining again and again, constantly climbing up to the next level to play. We did it many times! The ATVs were very easy to control (not the super large, clunky kind). The scenery along the way wasn't particularly impressive, and there were a lot of people, but the great thing was that the instructors for both activities proactively helped us take photos and even videos, and they took really good ones! So we had a lot of fun!

This was one of the highlights of my trip!!! ❤️ The elephant feeding experience was absolutely unforgettable. My heart was so full seeing these beautiful elephants up close and being able to interact with them. The tour guide was also very helpful, friendly, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!
