About Bangkok - Rating: 8/10/10/10/8  

Comments: surprised what can do so much in a short time, loved it, when do we go back!, so much better than before. I expected it to be dirtier and busier.

Feedback from the tour guests: 

Top rating tour.   The PA’s make it possible, great way to get to know your work colleagues.

Great to interact with fellow staff, the amazing race was good,

Loved the Thai culture. Thoroughly enjoyable and exhausted, Utterly outstanding food

Tour host:

We focus on the S,M,A,R,T, goals set by the group/employer.

Each member interprets that differently according to Time constraints, Energy levels (before and during), Collaborative skills (synergy), Personal wants and needs. If we correlate the feedback to “pre defined objectives” the result is an overwhelmingly success.
