Per one customer who booked the Chiang Mai Instagram Tour: Most Famous Spots (Private and All-Inclusive), "We were able to visit 6 very important and different temples in the Chiang Mai area, one of which afforded lovely views of the city from a nearby mountain. Our guide M provided very helpful information about Chiang Mai history and the differences between Myanmar-influenced, Lanna and Thai temples. A surprise was our visit to the umbrella factory, which was a nice break from all the temples, and we enjoyed delicious Chiang Mai specialties at a very nice lunch."
