The half day tour was very efficient and informative. Gobi, our guide, was the perfect host. He supplied a plethora of information and insight. He is a true professional! We visited the two temples and never felt rushed. He explained everything succinctly with lots of sidebars and anecdotes. The tour never dragged, and we felt we truly experience a piece of Thailand’s culture.

Chiang Mai was our eighth major city visit in 24 months, we did tours in all sometimes more than one. This is the first time we have felt compelled to write a review about our tour yesterday.
Why? Because our guide, Nikki, was just amazing. So incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and thoughtful. We got a real insight into Thai Buddhism, meditation, the way of life, culture and history of the Lan Na kingdom.
We really could not recommend this tour highly enough.
Thank you Nikki for a fabulous morning 🙏

The tour guide was really good. She knew EVERYTHING and explained it very well. I felt she enjoyed the job and sharing all her knowledge about her culture and history. She was very kind and helpful. The driver was good too.

Giornata bellissima immersa nella cultura buddista e la meditazione, i templi sono molto belli e immersi nella natura! la nostra guida è stata molto competente e disponibile accontentandoci a un fuori programma davvero interessante presso l università di meditazione di chiang mai
Davvero consigliato
la guida è stata bravissima
