Idk wtf

Rebecca_H, Feb 2026
They canceled only a few hours before then it’s gonna take 3 to 5 days for a refund it was absurd to be honest

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Dear Rebecca, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand how frustrating it must have felt to have your tour cancelled only a few hours before it was due to start. When plans change so close to the experience, it can really disrupt your evening and your overall trip. Regarding the refund timing, processing periods of three to five business days are standard with payment providers and partner platforms, but we understand that waiting for the funds to return can still feel inconvenient. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know how this affected you. We hope you’ll consider giving Withlocals another chance in the future, so you can experience the smooth, reliable service we aim to provide. Kind regards, The Withlocals Team

Wonderful easy walking tour

Amy_B, Mar 2025
Our guide Ae was awesome. Great walking tour around the city. We felt like we were visiting a friend who was excited to show us her city. We chose to do the tour in the evening/night because it was so hot during the day. We really enjoyed ourselves.

Great tour!

Guide was knowledgeable, fun, and took us to places that suited our interests. Modified the tour to make it the best possible experience for us. She was wonderful!! Would highly recommend.

Excellent tour like a local

Pauline_K, Sep 2024
Fun tour guide who showed me the city as local would enjoy. Took me to an excellent restaurant in the water. The live band music was totally A+ and the food was super. Went to local market for trinkets. Got fish pedicure… fun! Thanks so much.

Charin was awesome!

Ernesto_G, Mar 2024
Charin was excellent! He took us around the city center, some temples, night market and a restaurant to get a beer. He knows so much about the city and about everything in general! We enjoyed his tour and his company so much! We hope to see him again 😊

Great intro to the city

Lauren_M, Feb 2024
We took this tour on our first full night in Chiang Mai. It was a great way to get acclimated to the city. Our guide led us through temples and explained the history of Thai Buddhism and culture. We ended at the night market. Guide was very knowledgeable and helpful.

An informative evening

Darlene_S, Dec 2023
A nice and informative evening. Great intro to Chiang Mai temples and city! Absolutely recommend a great time.

Not so magical

marylouvanderhorst, Feb 2020
There was nothing magical about this tour. Our tour guide was a knowledgeable and very lovely lady who spoke English well. However, her accent was so heavy and non-English speech pattern made it near impossible to understand her. Tour guides we've had on other tours always have been excited about their cities and very upbeat, her affect was flat. We were 2 couples and the husbands became quickly upset and disengaged with the tour. The ticket promised meal and 1 beer per person. We got no beer after 2.5h and we had to purchase the majority of our food other than some snacks purchase by the tour guide. We toured an evening food market which was interesting but each time we asked her to provide us a sample of food we received a full-sized portion which we paid for. She should have had it prearranged with vendors that we were touring and would be sampling foods, small portions. We called the tour short at 2.5h as we were so frustrated with the experience. I contacted Viator who contacted the vendor to notify them of our experience. I was not looking for full reimbursement but some reimbursement for the no beer and food portion of the ticket would have been great. We paid $95 Canadian for 4 and have been offered $5 CAD to compensate us. 2-days later, we purchased a TukTuk ride for 3 hours and the driver provided us a great tour of Chiang Mai within the old city and the surrounding area as far out as the silk factory. He even acted as our photographer. We choose this tour because of its 5-star rating and previous reviews which we rely on. I am not sure if this tour guide was new. Overall, we were very disappointed in this tour experience and unfortunately, I have to give it a very low rating based on our experience.

Mediocre

Eric_h, Aug 2024
Aucun intérêt , long et sans consistance , à ne pas privilégier . Chuté sans intérêt , visite village et marché inutile, seul le temple est pas mal mais décevant car trop récent pas dans le style de ce que l’on voit.
