Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"My tour with Naphat was unforgettable. She reached out to me in advance to find out what I wanted to see and do as she was interested in finding out exactly what my goals were. She made my day with her knowledge of Buddhism and the temples in the inner city. She also gave me amazing insider knowledge of the ancient city that you can’t get from anyone who isn’t a local. Thank you Naphat was an amazing experience!"
"Ae was a lot of fun and very knowledgeable about Chiang Mai. We walked, tuktuk through Chiang Mai. And we tasted anything I saw that I wanted to try which is a super bonus thing to do! Thank you "
"I had fun checking out the night markets with Naphat. She knows just the right spot to take you. The food was amazing and conversation stimulating!!! Highly recommend this tour! Thank you!"
"Thank you Ratana for a wonderful and funny afternoon tour. It makes an holiday when you learn about the local area and customs with excellent company. Thank you for the refreshments which were definitely needed in the heat. You made it feel like we were out for a stroll with a good friend. Thank you Karen & Dave 🥰"
"Ann took us on a food market tour. She is highly knowledgable of the market area and gave us a spectacular tour savouring some of the BEST food Chiang Mai has to offer. There was so much food, we had to ask for smaller portions (we hate wasting food). The VALUE is exceptional. Remember to TIP generously, you are spending time with someone who is passionate about make your experience the BEST it can possibly be! She is very organized, shared history and was was professional, friendly and made the time together FUN! She should be considered an AMBASSADOR for Chiang Mai. She is available for several other tour options! She also drives which allows for tours beyond the city if that's on your agenda! If you want to enhance your Chiang Mai experience then, book Ann!! "
"We had a great stay tour with Ae. She was patient and kind with our kids and really kept them engaged and involved. They definitely learned a lot from her and we got to see a great lay of the land to further guide our exploration and understanding of Chiang Mai. Recommend!"
"Naphat was a wonderful guide! She provided extensive history on Buddhism, Chiang Mai, and the evolution of Thailand and its culture throughout the last decade. My teenage son felt sick on the tour, and she was very accommodating and kind. She is also funny, and warmed up with witty jokes with my kids. We also explored some of her favorite food places, and we are still dreaming of the lunch we had a the local market. Thank you so much for the enriching experience, Naphat!"
"Wuthikorn took us on a city tour of Chiang Mail. He was awesome, had excellent English, and really showed us around and explained the many details of their Buddhist temples, local markets, and the history behind the historic downtown area. Highly recommend him for a good city tour! "
"Our street food tour with Purichat was amazing! She whisked us through the night markets like locals and made it so easy for us to try all of the hits. It was a highlight of our trip! "
"Our tour with Eddie was amazing! We went to a hidden gem of a market in a local location off the beaten path. The foods were all delicious and Eddie did a great job accommodating to our preferences (one vegetarian). Eddie was a great teacher and we learned so much from him. After so much food, we will be full for days!"
