Underrated but very high quality tour - My Guide was Khun Bim. She is a Thai person who speaks excellent English. I have followed a Japanese form of Buddhism for over 34 years and yet I still learned something new about Thai (Theravada) Buddhism. We were able to discuss the intricacies between the two schools in detail. Of course she is very knowledgeable about all things Buddhism, Thai Culture, and Chiang Mai. She can answer all your questions about any subject and is very kind. I went during the tourist low season. As I was the only tourist on the tour, it was more of a private tour for me. The price is very reasonable, and you can easily do this tour before dinner or a night out on the town! Highly recommended!

Amazing tour - It was great tour with friendly and knowledgeable guide, who managed to provide both detailed and interesting information. We were beforehand asked if we want to get blessing from monk for luck which was very thoughtful as not every person wants to participate in something of other religion. Overall this tour is great value for it's cost.

Great tour & intro to the city! - Lovely city tour with a knowledgeable and humble guide, I can highly recommend! It's a great way to get to know the city, the main temples and important places of the old town and get a good insight into the history and the city. The afternoon light with the sun going down and later the illuminated buildings and temples were amazing to take pictures of. Thank you very much!

A tour you can do on your own - The guide, Kitty, was really difficult for the entire group to understand. He spent too much time at the onset talking about language and he repeated himself many times. I would recommend doing introductions and getting to the first temple and doing more about the history of temples, why are there so many etc. He didn’t have a mic ( so you couldn’t hear what he was saying while we were walking on the streets) or water for the group or money for the temple tickets so he had to make those stops. Most disappointing experience as almost all of us didn’t learn much about Chiang Mai. The temples are amazing but without an additional benefit of a tour guide you can understand, you can do it in your own
