“Sonny is a quality tour guide... absolutely world class. He was our tour guide for our Thailand Adventure, in which he created a family feel from start to finish in our group, allowing us to make memories and friendships that will last a life time. Always smiling, laughing, and joining in the banter with the group which was amazing and allowed everyone to be themselves. Couldnt recommended him as a tour guide any more!!! Top Lad!!!”
We are so glad to hear you had a great time on our Thai Adventure trip and to hear how amazing Sonny made your experience 😊 Thank you for your review, Dan!
“Incredible trip with amazing planned out activities and the way it was run. We had an amazing tour leader called Nyla who made the whole trip so so memorable with how informative, organised and funny she was. I would recommend Gap360 in general and especially this trip for any solo travellers or even as a couple which is what I did.”
Hi Josh, we are so glad to hear you had an amazing time in Thailand 😊 We love hearing such great things about our incredible tour guides and are glad Nyla made your trip extra memorable!
“Gap 360 were beyond helpful when I was looking to book the Thailand trip. I asked so many questions as it is my first time solo travelling and everyone answered very quickly and were very helpful and friendly. I would highly recomend!”
“Everyday was action-packed with pre-booked activities so we had ample opportunity to experience the culture, the place, and the people we were travelling with. Our tour guide, Mai, made the trip all the better by being a true friend as well as a responsible and knowledgeable guide. She was able to propose any number of optional activities for any free time we may have had and was so good at orchestrating a group of our size - 21 people - when it came to transport, accommodation, and dining.
We mostly stayed in hostels some of which were more luxurious than hotels we have in Europe. With the Thai 25-day adventure, we were able to cover a lot of ground, travelling from the north to the south of the country before hopping from island to island. I would strongly recommend this tour to others.”

“The customer service was great, gave me plenty of information regarding the holiday and I think it be a great opportunity for me to meet new people and enjoy travelling”
“Had an awful experience on a gap360 tour to Thailand back in July. During our trip in Chiang Mai, I was assaulted. I never told anyone of this incident because I was so traumatised at the time this happened. It is only now I feel I can speak out about it. Our group had gone to a bar and nightclub in central chiang mai and I couldn’t find my wallet. I asked group members if they had seen it and they all denied it. I became really distressed because neither my guide nor group would help me look for it and so I went off on my own in a complete state of panic through the dark streets of chiang mai (it was probably about 1am at this point). I am prone to have meltdowns and so being a vulnerable young woman on her own, a man of Thai ethnicity asked if I was alright. I was crouched up against a wall in tears and he came up to hug me. I was unable to push him away and this was when he assaulted me. To add to this, I was lost and couldn’t find my way back to the hotel. I couldn’t get hold of my tour guide or anyone in my group. I was completely on my own. After hours of wondering about I eventually found my hotel but of course I couldn’t get into my hotel room! My incredibly selfish roommate had taken the only key for herself and so I had no way to get back into my room, despite begging the hotel receptionist to give me a spare key! So there was me in a complete state, having just been assaulted and lost with no way to get into my hotel room.
I then found out from one of my tour members that she had my missing wallet the whole time, despite saying she hadn’t seen it when I asked her earlier that evening! If she had just told the truth this would have never happened.
It wasn’t until about 5am that I was able to get back into my hotel room. It was then I decided I was quitting the tour and going home. The treatment the other tour members gave me was unforgivable and I feel this company has no regard for health or safety. I am still scarred months later from this experience and given what happened to me I should consider suing them.
Please if you are a young girl on her own, do not choose this company. I fear others will have the same fate. Gap360 clearly cannot guarantee a safe trip.”

“I had the best time of my life to start my 10 months in Australia the week in Sydney I made friends for life and made me feel a lot less nervous about moving to the other side of the world. Amazing experience sand boarding and dolphin watching! Will definitely book with gap360 again”

“I went to Ghana for 3 weeks volunteering in child care. This meant I spent the morning at a school and the afternoon at the orphanage which was walking distance. I had the best time and this was my first time travelling completely alone. I was met at the airport and made so many good friends which just made my experience that much better, including Aimee who works for gap360! The first weekend we went to a trip at Cape Coast, which was just eye opening. I don't think I've ever experienced such a friendly culture. Everyone is lovely and helpful and I felt so safe. I would recommend this trip to absolutely anyone and would encourage them to make the most of every second and sign up to everything. My accommodation and the food was just amazing, I would love to return!”

“I’ve just finished one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Travelling with Sonny has been amazing, he is so kind and funny. He knows so much about where we went. And having an allergy he made sure I never ate any gluten and reassured me every time we ate. Hands down the best tour guide ever. “Take it Easy” Thank you Sonny for making the trip amazing wouldn’t know what to do without you. Aka Ketchup 😂😂😂”
“I was with sonny on the 25day thai tour over Christmas and new year!! He was the most amazing tour guide so helpful especially accommodating to my severe nut allergy, he helped us book all the extras we needed and was available to us at all times when we needed help!! He made the experience amazing and would highly recommend”

“Words cannot describe how lucky I am to have had Sonny as our tour guide. His smile, energy, and passion are infectious and he knew how to lift the mood up during trickier times. He provided constant support, and made sure to keep us safe at all times (knowing my group, we need it!!!!). I’d like to think that I have made a friend for life in him, and I shall miss him very much during my travels!
Any backpacker will be in safe hands with him. Take it easy, Sonny!!!!!!!”
