Started the tour but prompt pick up. Our tour guide Ahm was absolutely lovely, informative and engaging, The tour itinerary was well planned with lots to see. Some walking, beautiful sights and yummy lunch

Superb day out !!

Fiona_Y, Jul 2024
Amazing day out the lady tour guide speaks very good English and is extremely friendly and informative. They look after all the tourists very well. This company is MUCH better than the other tour which is advertised on viator as “best seller” which was a horrendous company to deal with.

Great experience the nature side

Shivani_V, Apr 2024
The pagodas were very nice. Great views and nice to get away from the craziness. The weather was beautiful and so was the view.

I highly recommend this...

JENNYLYNN_N, Apr 2024
I highly recommend this tour. The rainforest and the twin pagodas are worth the visit. Our guide, Miss Aom, is knowledgeable and accommodating.

Great tour

tuyetanh_n, Mar 2024
Very good tour with Aom as our guide. Highly recommend. Everthing about the tour is good. Ask for Aom if you sign up. The flowers and moss in the forest was enchanting.

Excellant day trip

Chacko_e, Jan 2024
Beautiful rain forest and gardens Guide Mr.Tui was really good explaining all details about the park and pagodas

Highly recommend

Jeffrey_H, Jan 2024
Bee was wonderful! It ended up being just the two of us with Bee and the driver. Had a great day and highly recommend

So exiting trip

Anna_M, Oct 2023
We were unlucky with the weather, it rained heavily all day and it was very cold and foggy on the mountain. We didn't get to see the beautiful views. However, we are very satisfied with the tour. At the following locations, it was very atmospheric and the rain did not spoil the impression at all. Our guide was very nice and interesting. Lunch was very tasty, in a beautiful place with a beautiful view. We really liked the village in the mountains, where we ground our own coffee. The waterfall was also incredible. A place of strength. Thank you for the tour, we really enjoyed everything.

Fabulous day with a fabulous tour guide

Bethany_R, May 2023
One of the best trips we have had in Asia. We were a small group of 5 and our tour guide was amazing. His English was excellent and he was able to explain everything to us in great detail. The sights were incredible, the waterfall, twin pagodas and gardens. Karen's village was also extremely insightful and sampled some great coffee there. As another comment said, don't fill up on breakfast as there is a delicious lunch served. Would definitely recommend.

Good trip to go to

Emiliya_K, Mar 2023
Excellent experience! Very good guide Paul - knowledge and experienced. We booked a small group trip but ended up on our own. The nature in the national park is amazing. Very peaceful and beautiful. Visiting the pagodas was worth it as the views from the top are unenforceable. Well recommended tour.

Nice trip to the high point of Thailand.

Lynn_M, Feb 2023
Nice walk at the high point of Thailand. Stops at a roadside Hmong market and coffee at Karen Hill tribe. Nice waterfall stop and short hike.

Cloudy day in Inthanon

Claire_J, Nov 2022
Really relaxed but well planned day, very attentive guide, made sure we were looked after at lunch when not in his company

Nice short trip and knowledgeable guide

karen_t, Nov 2022
We enjoyed our little lunch in the Royal Project park- thought the food was slightly undercooked for my liking. Make sure to tell them how you want the doneness for all your dishes. the visit is a must do for all who visit chiangmai, with or without guide. I think is easy to do trip but having a guide with private group ensure you get around quicker. Also Mr poon has interest us with the info nuggets of the park and the royal family work in the region which made it not just a sightseeing outing but learn something about the land and people of Thailand.

Wonderful way to spend the day

Kathryn_B, Nov 2022
Our guide Winha was very informative and fun. The sites we saw and visiting the village were quite an experience.

Great sights and knowledge

phillip_p, Oct 2022
Picked is up right on time, smooth trip Pei very knowledgeable, easy to talk to. Great highlights as long as weather permits

Fantastic day tour, saw lots of interesting things plus some walks. Great tour guide!

Dee_J, Jun 2022
Fantastic day trip with great tour guide “M” good English and very knowledgeable (thanks mate!) we saw a great variety of places, the pace was good, did some walks but not too strenuous. We saw some wonderful parts of Chiang Mai region and highest point in Thailand. We definitely recommend this tour.

Nice and comfortable trip

MartonAntal_S, Dec 2021
It was a great experience: the places were amazing, and M, the guide was really kind. We could see a lot, but haven’t been too tired at the end of the day.

Long day but well worth the time and money!

Jasmine_F, Dec 2021
Our guide Doi (not sure how to spell it sorry!) was incredible, we were very lucky to be in a very small group so had plenty of opportunity to ask lots of questions and speak to Doi to learn more about everything we saw. Quite a long day but definitely good value for money, seeing a variety of sights in Chiang Mai. Me and my boyfriend will often save money by exploring ourselves without a tour but I’m so glad we joined this one as we learnt so much that we just wouldn’t have if we visited these places alone. It does get cold in the national park so be sure to bring a jacket and maybe go for trousers not shorts. Spending time in the Karen village and meeting the local people was a highlight of this trip, a very authentic experience that you don’t get on many tours. Oh also lunch was incredible- don’t eat a big breakfast that day!

Great tour!

Aurora S, Dec 2019
Everything was amazing. We visited different places (waterfalls, a forest, village, the temples) all accompanied by our friendly guide Arrow who told us a lot of interesting info but also kept the day relaxing. I'd 100% recommend this tour, also the van is very comfy and the driver skilled. Bring good shoes and warm clothing cause up there gets cold (10-15C)!

Fun Filled Day Out at Doi Inthanon

Subir C, Nov 2019
Our extremely energetic guide Mr. Ekk made this one of the best tours I have ever been on! He has troves of information and anecdotes about every spot you visit,which he narrates in his signature style. Our visit would have remained incomplete without the insights he offered. Highly recommended.

Excellent trip

Margaret_W, Dec 2018
A great break from hot, busy Chiang Mai - an interesting & well paced tour with a good variety of spots visited. Ekk was a fantastic guide .

DAVID J, Mar 2018
We were picked up promptly for the tour which consisted of 5 adults in the minibus giving plenty of room and comfort. The trip to the National Park took about 1.30 hours. On our arrival at the highest point in Thailand we took a short walk through a woodland area a bit chilly before carrying onto Inthanon. The tour guide was very informative at every point of interest and plenty of time was given at each stop. The lunch was included and was good quality, good service and a beautiful setting. We were then taken to a village to sample the coffee that is grown locally. This was a well organised trip and proved to be good value for money. Recommended.

Ein perfekter Tag!

KatrinNina_O, Nov 2024
Hier hat einfach alles gepasst. Unsere liebe Guide Aom hat uns sehr professionell durch den Tag begleitet und immer etwas wissenswertes zu erzählen. Die Stops waren allesamt beeindruckend, das Essen super und auch der zeitliche Ablauf war gut geplant. Rundum sehr empfehlenswert!

Un día lleno de experiencias

Laura_L, Apr 2024
Fue un día magnífico. Em, nuestro guía y su conductor fueron muy amables y complacientes. Incluso modificaron un poco el tour para que pudiésemos bañarnos en el río del parque nacional. Nos dieron agua cuanta quisimos y comimos en un lugar en mitad del parque rodeadas de selva.Fue todo impresionante. Pocos guías tienen tanta amabilidad. Un 10.

Tolle Tour an einem Tag

Thomas_S, Mar 2023
Fantastische Tour die vieles aus der Region an einem Tag zeigt. Der Tourguide Mr. Pae war super. Sehr viel erklärt und super nett und freundlich. Absolut empfehlenswert

Schöne Sehenswürdigkeiten und sehr gutes Essen

Stephan_R, Apr 2022
Die besuchten Orte waren wirklich schön und mit dem Van sind wir auch schnell von A nach B gekommen. Das Mittagessen glich einem Buffet und war richtig lecker. Auch unser Guide Tui war nett und hat die Tour mit vielen Hintergrundinformationen interessant gestaltet.

Super guide gentil et bienveillant ! Superbe journée de découverte

Elose_C, Dec 2021
Nous avons eu un super guide qui s'appelle Tui. Il parle bien anglais, on a compris cas y tout (en tout cas l'essentiel). Nous avons eu la chance d'être un petit groupe de 4, ce qui était vraiment chouette. On a commencé la visite par le Roi Inthanon et une parti dans les bois avec de l'histoire. Ensuite, on est passé sur un petit marché qui vendent des choses exceptionnellement bonnes ! Nous avons continué sur la cascade et pour finir,nous avons été dans un petit village (très typique et sympathique) et nous avons découvert le café produit de chez eux. Ce qui concerne le repas de midi, il était excellent !! Nous avons vraiment apprécié notre journée hors que nous avions beaucoup d'a prioris par rapport aux visites guidées.
