It was a great experience, travelling not so congested roads to hilly and scenic areas of Chiang Mai. Margaret did an excellent job keeping everyone well informed. Plenty of drinking water. Nice wayside restaurant for lunch and considerate coffee/toilet breaks. Due credit must go to our driver too for his deciplined driving. We are very glad we did this tour.

Beautiful views at Doi Inthanon, spectacular waterfalls, and amazing history/overview of the lanna kingdom and historical forest. Jane was an awesome tour guide who gave us great background on the tribes, lanna kingdom, Doi inthanon, and culture. 10/10!

Great Day at the Park and Waterfall

Great experience and knowledgable guides. The guide and driver took care of us when one of us tripped at the waterfall and provided first aid. Thank you!

Anniversary trip

Jane and the driver were great guides. We learned a lot about the tribe we visited, the temples and about the king.

Awesome tour of Doi Inthanon, Markets, Historical forest, and waterfalls!

Veronica_D, Mar 2026
This is a fabulous opportunity to spend some time in the mountains, breathe in the beauty of waterfalls marvel at the architecture honoring Thai royalty and .eet some residents of a Karen tribe village. The guide, Tic and our driver, were friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. I HIGHly recommend this tour. It does not disappoint!!

Mary_O, Mar 2026
Wonderful experience. Not physically strenuous, but still get to see amazing locations. Comfortable van ride.

What a day!

Eliot_L, Mar 2026
Some reviewers caution against these day-long tours, warning that you rush through a lot of things and don't have time to linger. This was not my experience at all. Yes, it was a long day, and yes it was a lot of driving. But the mountain and vistas were stunning, and the side trips were all enjoyable, unrushed, and ultimately even uncrowded. Our driver and guide were helpful, friendly, and attentive and the ride was cool and comfortable. More than worth the day.

Excellent Experience

Gregg_L, Mar 2026
Tic was an excellent guide. He was informative and very nice. I highly recommend this highly comprehensive tour. We experienced beautiful waterfalls, amazing temples, and enjoyed a coffee farm and village experience. The nature trail walk at the national park was very enjoyable. Thank you Tic.

A wonderful trip into the mountains from Chang Mai

Fred_M, Mar 2026
A very well structured trip with a great guide. Everything was delivered as stated on the itinerary. Our young guide Brian ( G. Bright) was knowledgeable, friendly and always willing to answer any questions we had. It was nice to feel the cooler air at the top of the mountain. At each stop Brian gave a description and background to where we were and then gave us time to look around at our own pace. The driver was safe and considerate ensuring that we got from place to place smoothly. We would highly recommend this trip.

Easy day trip in Chiang Mai

Grace_K, Feb 2026
Great day trip outside of Chiang Mai to visit the highest point of Thailand at 2,500m! Local village visit includes coffee roaster and other handmade products.

Robert_I, Feb 2026
If you want to go for a trip to Doi Inthanon, please keep in mind that all those trips look the same. Every now and then you wonder oh is this another scam or what. We were driven to the restaurant, where our guide took our orders instead of staff and they had about 200 dishes in menu. We ordered something with chicken and they brought dishes, where 2 of them had nearly no meat only breading and other man ordered some soup and he also lacked meat. Nothing was mentioned about some missing products. We didn't really want to eat there in the first place, but we had no other choice (there were better places by walking distance). Guide didn't have too much knowledge so it was more reading the info provided by attractions. I don't recommend this trip at all. Albo they were 30 minutes late for pickup.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Sawadee kha Robert, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the Doi Inthanon tour did not meet your expectations. Most travelers really enjoy visiting Doi Inthanon National Park, but we understand that experiences can be different for each traveler. We also apologize that the restaurant chosen for lunch was not to your liking and for the late pickup in the morning. Thank you again for your comments and we hope you had a wonderful time in Thailand!

A day well spent...off the beaten track and pleasant weather.

Fabulous tour! Includes 2 waterfalls! Recommended!

Cengiz_S, Dec 2025
Really enjoyed this tour. Can’t recommend it enough! Spent quite a long time shortlisting tours from Viator and GYG and eventually decided to go with this one…. and I’m VERY GLAD we did. I really wanted a tour that covered all the usual stops for Doi Iinthanon but also included 2 waterfalls. Thats exactly what we got! Both were absolutely breathtaking. All the other stops were definitely worth visiting too but the village we were taken to at the end of the tour was probably one of the highlights of our Chiang Mai trip. Pick up from the hotel was punctual, the driver was polite and drove very safely and carefully… the tour guide Margiret, was delightful and always making sure that we were comfortable and taken care of. She gave us a lot of insight into Thai culture, religion, history and rural life. There was 4 of us on the tour in total… felt more like a private tour (during high season)… don’t hesitate - book this!

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Sawadee kha Cengiz, Thank you so much for this fantastic review! We are delighted to hear the tour exceeded your expectations and that the waterfalls and village visit were highlights of your time in Chiang Mai. Margaret and our driver will be very happy to read your kind words. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again on another tour.

Amazing experience

Olena_M, Jun 2025
It's enjoyable tour with very easy walks to waterfalls and through short mountain trails. June isn't the best time to expect clear view at twin pagodas, but still it was nice. Our guide Jane was very helpful and friendly. Don't miss out on this amazing tour when you're in Chiang Mai

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Sawadee kha Olena, Thank you for sharing your experience! We're over the moon knowing you had such a wonderful time on our tour!

Recommended trip to a Thai national park

Rick_S, Apr 2025
It was a nice worthwhile day trip. Our guide Jane was great and very friendly. Van ride to/from was comfortable, it is a bit of a ride. Waterfalls were nice and extremely easy to access from the road, really no hike at all. Highest point was fine, the twin temples were the star of the show. Nice views, though some clouds reduced the view a bit.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Sawadee kha Rick, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are thrilled to hear that you loved your experience with us. Your kind words mean a lot to our team!

Not Enjoyable.

Cindy_A, Dec 2024
Tour Guide was very lovely and knowledgeable. It was a small group and we had a number of stops, and the places you would want to spend more time were very rushed eg the Twin pagodas, did not have the chance to really enjoy the top spots, but felt like wasted lots of time at irrelevant stops.

Response from Host, Mar 2025
