Must do in Chiang Mai

Melanie_M, Feb 2026

Our guide Poongkie was great fun to be with and was so knowledgeable. We learnt a lot about Chiang Mai and its history and the Thai culture. Yeng was a superb driver navigating the narrow winding roads safely. Thoroughly recommend this excursion.

A lesson learned

Hendra_W, Jan 2026

The tour leader didn't contact my friend in advance as usually other tour operators did and I didn't know there were two names of 'Come On' in Chiang mai

Views are well worth the trip

Randall_H, Aug 2025

Our tour guide, Tui and our driver were both very friendly and helpful. Tui explained the history of the village and temple. We had a delicious coffee and smoothie at the village and the view was beautiful. Temple was beautiful and had amazing views of Chiang Mai. Great experience all around.

Enjoyable, informative tour

Douglas_S, Jan 2025

Guide was excellent, good English, good knowledge.Transportation comfortable Temple and life in Hmong community are must to visit sites.

Must see early morning tour!

Michelle_H, Nov 2024

We loved our early morning tour walking through a Hmong village, enjoying local coffee above the village watching the mist drift past the coffee and flower bushes. Touring the wat with our guide was insightful, we thoroughly enjoyed our tour!

Fun excursion

Sammy_F, May 2024

The places we visited were beautiful. The original village we went to was the big highlight, super authentic experience and the dried fruits / coffee in their village were incredible. The garden was beautiful, and our tour guide was very informative and educated. Only bad part was the drive there was super toss and turny, so if your not good with nausea you might have a tough time.

Great Tour

Andy_H, Feb 2024

Bee was a fantastic guide, we had a really great time and learned a lot at the village and amazing Temple.

Best tour booking of our entire Southeast Asia trip!

Lindy_T, Dec 2023

Our guide and driver were absolutely amazing! Touring Center gets a 2 thumbs up from us! Our guide Aom, took great care of us, her suggestions and tips made this our favorite tour of our trip to Chiang Mai. I the driver was smooth & safe in the tight roads & heavy traffic. Top-notch!

Lovely way to spend a half-day in Chang Mai

Amy_L, Nov 2023

We booked a group tour and ended up being the only two. Paul happily gave us an excellent, well paced tour, providing insightful commentary, thoroughly and enthusiastically answering all of our questions. The tour of the Hmong community on the way to Doi Suthep was a delightful surprise, and totally non-commercial. We loved the expansive and beautiful garden. Doi Suthep was an easy cable car ride up. The Wat was majestic and easy to view, not too big like many of the other more popular Wats in Thailand, and the view of Chang Mai from the mountain was a treat. Oh, by the way, it’s a bit cooler in the mountains. This was a lovely way to spend a half-day in Chang Mai.

Amazing experience

Lucas_F, Feb 2023

Amazing experience, very kind tour guide with amazing english we had a very interesting and complete experience. Very recommended.

Doi Suthep

Trieu_V, Dec 2022

We had a great time with Bee the tour guide. She was awesome. I think is a must see place and dont forget to buy the coffee on Doi Suthep bc it's taste real good.

A pleasant trip

Dorothy_Y, Oct 2022

Our lady tour guide was super nice and very patient. We had a very pleasant trip. Lucky, it was a clear day.

Save your money and time

John_S, Oct 2022

The Hmong Village was nothing more than walking us through a tourist trap full of shops you find in any market in the city. Nothing about the village and the history of the people. We were rushed through the temple with little education.

Great guide!

Neel_N, Sep 2022

Our guide, Bee, was knowledgeable and also had a great sense of humor. In addition to telling us about the temple and the Hmong village, she also shared some history on Chaing Mai. The tour lasted 3 hours including 1.5hrs of driving time, which was a good balance of thoroughness and efficiency!
