Overview of temples
Knowledgeable guide with understandable English. It was very interesting to see the different types of temples - very elaborate and the other simple in nature. The mountain road is very twisted so if you get motion sickness be sure to take Dramamine before you go.

Must do this one!
Fantastic day with my family thanks to our guide Paul who was interesting and funny. We booked waterfall, elephant sanctuary and bamboo rafting on the Mae Tang. Due to rain, we were not able to raft and instead we spent longer with the elephants. We also visited the Kayan tribe. Paul was a knowledgeable guide and this made the day run perfectly. I highly recommend this tour experience.

We joined a Wendy Tours...
We joined a Wendy Tours group of 12, with tour guide Nami. She was really knowledgeable about the places we visited and clearly a veteran guide - she knew all the other guides, and the locals in the Karen tribe village, really well - including the pet pigs and chickens! The tribe village was actually a highlight, with tourist visits being handled respectfully of the villagers, and of course the water falls were beautiful. Sadly we couldn't see much of the Pagoda due to the fog but still worth a detour, don't forget to bring some a little bit warm as it does get cold ish up there( 10 15C)

Beautiful and...
Beautiful and enlightening tour of a temple with an ex-monk which gave fantastic explanation about Buddhism and everything related to it, explained the practices in the temple. At Doi Suthep he clearly knew everyone in that temple and treated all of them with respect - even the temple dogs who followed him up from the car park for treats! We got to participate in plenty of Buddhist traditions in the temple as well as the alms giving and receiving a blessing from a monk. Definitely recommend it even if the weather doesn't allow to see the sunrise!

A wonderful day trip to Chiang Rai! Our tour guide, Peter, was friendly, knowledgeable, and kept the day well organized. He brought us to the three iconic temples, sharing interesting stories and local insights along the way. The pace was comfortable, and everything ran smoothly, making it an enjoyable and memorable experience. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Peter as your guide!

A good experience
I would say it's a pretty good experience if you want to get up close and personal with Asians elephants. You will travel to a small farm with some rice patties and you get to take a walk with the elephants of a mountain. The elephants are very aware that they will be said sugarcane and we were up close personal and it was a very nice experience for my son and myself small type of run operation but I feel that you will enjoy the experience. Be sure to take lots of photos and wear shoes sandals you will be slippery

Wonderful day seeing some beautiful sites.
This was a wonderful full day tour. Our guide was informative and very pleasant. As with many Viator tours this was well paced and had a small group size. We really enjoyed all the stops and it gave us a great day in nature, culture and great lunch stop.

We had a fantastic day....
We had a fantastic day. Mr. Wat was our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and we appreciated his humor, as well. Our 8 year old did just fine with the 11 hour trip. Our favorite part was the elephant sanctuary but the hike was nice too. Mr. Wat took plenty of pics which was nice gesture. Even though we hit a little rain, it did not ruin the hike or experience one bit. Check this tour out if you're in Chiang Mai!

So fun, beautiful and informational
Moo moo was our tour guide & she was so friendly, knowledgeable, caring and personable! We loved visiting the Karen tribe, make sure to bring cask so you can support and buy some cool handmade bags or coffee/tea! We enjoyed free time on our hikes/walks and at the twin pagodas! Everything was timed nicely, didn’t feel rushed at all! We enjoyed hearing about the local culture of the Karen tribe and stories about the king and national park! The weather in the park was cooler and felt amazingggg

I loved the whole day!...
I loved the whole day! The pagoda’s are beautiful, the hike was very peaceful but some parts weren’t very easy for some people. When you get to the top, it is al worth it tho!
The lunch we had was very delicious, it’s like a buffet and they fill up plates when something runs out.
All the other stuff was also very nice.
We had a great guide as well, Cat. She made sure everyone was comfortable and had a lot of knowledge.
