We booked this tour based on the description and strong reviews, but it did not match what was advertised and felt significantly overpriced.
The tour listing states a 5–6 hour private experience. Ours lasted only a few hours, and we were told this was because we “didn’t shop.” This was especially frustrating since shopping stops were not listed anywhere in the description or timeline, nor was it disclosed that the tour length depended on shopping.
One stop was described in the listing as a museum, but in reality it was simply a brief walk-through into a very large gem store with a strong push to browse and buy. This stop, along with the lunch location, felt clearly commission-based rather than cultural or educational. The lunch stop was also far out of the way and clearly catered to tourists, not an authentic local experience.
Our guide was polite, but not very informative, and we didn’t leave with much cultural or historical insight. Given the shortened duration, the undisclosed shopping-focused stops, and the high price, this tour did not feel like good value. Even a week later, I still feel disappointed and misled based on the expectations set by the listing.
Oh La La was a little hard to understand but very nice and knowledgeable. Very comfortable car and safe driver.
Wat Phra That Doi Suthep and Wat Pha Lat were both beautiful, and our guide was really knowledgeable and patient with us. Our only minor suggestion would be to see more non-temple items as we felt it was hard to stay focused on the differences in temples when you see so many, but we understand this was more of a temple-focused tour than a viewpoint tour.
Amy was fantastic. Knowledgeable, friendly and created a very good balance for the day. Thank you so much!
This tour is a great way to see some highlights of Chiang Mai with limited time. I booked this tour primarily because it included Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep, which is a bit of a drive out of town. My tour guide, Gong, explained the culture in Chiang Mai and various facets of the Buddhist religious practice. Gong also fed me fried bananas and fresh pineapple from a market!
We really enjoyed to discover part of the city with Mr Noon and his driver. A good and helpful guide and nice person, perfect to appreciate the places we visited and to follow the ‘white elephant’
