A bit expensive, but most convenient way to have a fully flexible program. The driver was helpful, everything went well.

This was a last minute...

Sharon_W, Nov 2025

This was a last minute booking, and we were assigned to Arrin. He’s an experienced driver/tour guide, and was able to suggest alternative options when the weather continued to pour. November weather is akin to playing roulette, and unfortunately we got the bad draw. But the alternate options Arrin took us to made it up for the spoilt plans. Do note refilling of petrol and extra hours are separate charges.

Great trip to do

Margaret_S, Jul 2024

Very interesting morning but be warned, there is no agenda with this tour - you need to know where you want to go and the level of English is not great so we didn't get any background information. We were suggested to go to a couple of places, Tiger Kingdom which was great -m the tigers are allocated 2 trainers for life and whilst in a reserve they are not drugged or tied up. The Elephant sanctuary - the same deal, the elephants have their own dedicated trainer and are not ied up or caged - makes me feel really good. We cuddled and fed them.fantastic

Perfect family driver

Josh_W, Mar 2023

Otto spoke great English and drove us where we wanted. He was a considerate driver as we took the winding roads up to Doi Suthep. It was so helpful to have a driver ready for us after our adventures. Otto was also very friendly and answered many questions about Chiang Mai. He even arranged a ride for us later in the evening. If you need a good driver, I would highly recommend Otto.
