Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had the most incredible food tour in Chiang Mai with May exploring off-the-beaten-path gems — small, family-owned establishments and lively local markets that we never would have found on our own. The variety was outstanding, the food plentiful and every bite was absolutely delicious. Our guide, May, was simply wonderful. She’s genuine, warm, funny, accommodating, and so sweet. Her passion for the food and the Thai culture made the whole experience feel so personal and welcoming. We loved how she introduced us not just to flavors, but also to the stories behind the dishes, vendors and the families who make them. If you’re visiting Chiang Mai and want an authentic, flavorful adventure, this tour with May is a must!"
"We had a fantastic day out with Naphat, we were so glad she was able to cater for our very last minute booking :) We visited the white temple and blue temple in Chiang Rai and we were able to understand both the history & cultural context of both as well as get a really good insight into Thai Buddhism which underlies behaviour and belief systems - super interesting and we really appreciated how open Naphat was to our questions - she was genuinely excited to share! The white temple was the highlight and really understanding it made a huge difference (i had visited previously by myself and it was really quite a shallow experience!) I’ve lived in Thailand for 10 years and i still learnt a lot about what makes the Thai people tick from just one day with Naphat! Highly recommended, really friendly, helpful and professional! Our driver was also very good - smooth ride, felt very safe and comfortable, necessary for that long drive!"
"Uthaiwan was a great guide, she knew the area extremely well. She was knowledgeable and introduced us to some interesting culinary experiences plus gave us facts on a variety of topics ranging from history, to religion and of course food. She tailored our experience to cater for dietary requirements and our specific food preferences. We had loads of fun and really enjoyed our tour with her. Highly, highly recommended "

"We did a fantastic private tour with Boy to Doi Inthanon in August 2025. What a day! Picked up from hotel in s very comfortable vehicle by the most knowledgeable, caring, attentive guide we could ask for. Boy provided all we asked for and more. We saw Wachirathan Waterfall, the summit= rooftop of Thailand, did the Ang Ka scenic walk, visited the Royal Twin Pagodas, had lunch in the middle of a rice terrace (Aroi! best food ever!) followed by coffee at another Hilltribe Village with Uncle. A cultural experience beyond belief. We totally recommend Boy as the best guide to everyone. Khob khun Ka xxx"
"Purichat (May) was a wonderful host, last minute booking and was brilliant, took us to some lovely temples and very knowledgeable. If we came to Chiang Mai again we would have no hesitation in booking again with May. "
"What a way to spend our first night in chiang mai . Uthaiwan is an exceptional guide and a beautiful soul . It was such a pleasure to spend the evening together and feel her passion for this area and Thailand . We went to places and tried food that we would never have had without her guidance . We walked away with smiles on our faces full bellies and lots of recommendations for the rest of our time not only in chiang mai but also for the rest of our time in Thailand. Highly recommend ."
"After plans fell through with another agency, my family last minute booked a trip with Naphat to Chiang Rai- and we couldn’t be more pleased! She was so accommodating to all of our needs and allowed us flexibility to craft our own schedule, prioritizing the sights we wanted to see. We visited the blue and white temples, both of which she had a wealth of information for. She was able to share so much insight about Thai history and cultural beliefs and practices, also the symbolism present in both of the temples. We would have had such a stunted experience at these places without her guidance. I can also say her presence is very friendly and warm (and she is so patient!) - it is quite enjoyable to pass the day with her. Also no worries for language barriers, as her English is exceptional. She communicates everything very well and it is easy to understand her. She went above and beyond to be helpful towards us and make sure we had a one-of-a-kind experience. Would recommend to anyone and everyone! So many thanks, Naphat!"
"Thanks to my excellent guide, I spent a great evening tasting a lot of delicious local food, many thanks!!"
"Purichat is an expert and passionate guide. We visited Chiang Mai's old town with her, and it was a wonderful morning. In addition to providing information about the city and the temple, she also shared some very interesting facts about Buddhism."
"Wuthikorn is a great guide with in depth local knowledge and he took me to wonderful places that are in the books, but also to spots that are off the beaten track. I was recovering from sickness and he was really understanding and accommodating to my situation, and super helpful, I am very grateful 🙏 The experience is 100% recommended but I find the price overrated."
