It is a long day but...

Jessica_m, Mar 2026

It is a long day but worth it. The hot spring was nice stop, Lallita cafe was absolutely beautiful and the temples were amazing. Sirin was an excellent tour guide. Super friendly and informative

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you for your review. We are glad you have enjoyed the day with the temples and with Sirin.

Temples were great, tour itself not

Jay_P, Jan 2026

This was a tough review to write. Some of the stops Lalitta Cafe and the temples were incredible. Many of the stops to the stores and hot springs were not great. This review will focus only on the guide service. Our driver drove insanely fast. Most of the time I was fighting to hold myself in my seat and to choke back the car sickness welling up from my gut. It reverberated from pure sickness to terrifying and back again. Several in the vehicle were actually saying prayers. To top it off the air conditioner was never enough to keep us from sweating the entire 12-13 hour tour. Our tour guide also did very little guiding. It was very depressing to see other guides walking with their guests explaining things while ours remained with the vehicle. I’m very happy I saw the temples and especially the cafe , deeply regretting booking this tour.

Such a good day! LONG and busy and lots of time on the bus but it was comfortable. Eve was amazing too- we loved her!

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you for sharing your review and pointing the good job of the guide.

Find another way to view the temples in Chiang Rai - this tour was painful

Karen_T, Jan 2026

Beware: this tour takes 4hrs driving to get there and 4hrs back, leaving extremely little time to see the temples!! I do not recommend this tour, it was disorganized from the get-go and took over one hour to pick up everyone from around the old town in Chiang Mai. Poor communication by guide, I was standing outside for 5mins and trying to text to ask which van while he was inside the lobby on his phone and didn’t look up nor call my name. I tracked the van on Google Maps going around twice in a circle because they missed picking up somebody who was already at a hotel that he picked up other people at and had to go back to get them. Couldn’t keep everyone straight, kept calling me by my hotel name. The guide Danny spoke barely passable English and I think this was partly the problem with the communication (plus being disorganized). This company would do better to organize a single meeting point and have all the passengers meet at that point because the pick up is a huge waste of time. We also had three stops on the way to the White temple, which wasted time, resulting in giving us only 35 minutes to explore the temple, which was very frustrating because we paid for the ticket and didn’t even have time to explore the other buildings (e.g. there’s a gold temple next to it). Only got 20mins at Lalitta cafe and the lineup to get to the popular photo area in the cafe was over 20mins. Also only had 20 mins at blue temple which meant we I was literally racing around the temple to get all the good angles for photos. A top of all of that the van isn’t in the best condition and the seats are not the most comfortable to be sitting for 8 hours round-trip. The guide also blasted music at full volume during half the ride there which was too much given I had a headache. I wouldn’t do this again, next time I would stay in Chiang Rai or charter a private vehicle!

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely apologize that the tour did not meet your expectations and for the inconveniences you experienced throughout the day. We are especially sorry for the disorganization during the pickup and the communication issues with the guide. While we understand that having a single meeting point would be faster and more efficient, we currently offer hotel pickup for each guest to provide greater comfort and convenience. That said, the situation you described should not have happened, and it is clear that the pickup was not handled properly that day. We will review this process with our team to prevent similar delays and confusion in the future. Regarding the condition of the van, the music volume during the journey, and the guide’s level of English, we appreciate you pointing this out. These are very important aspects of the overall experience, and we will work with our guides to improve comfort, communication, and customer care. We believe this was an isolated incident, as no one has mentioned it before, and we will take measures to ensure it does not happen again. We truly value your feedback, as it helps us identify clear areas for improvement. We are sorry that you did not enjoy the tour as expected and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future.

A lovely day.

Mark_N, Dec 2025

I always rate based on what was promised and the tour delivered what was promised. Great guide. I love the idea of the Long Neck village but would like to know the people more than just the shopping. It had great potential there. The felons were quite crowded. Honestly I wish that we left two hours earlier to get there with less crowds. Regardless we are very glad we did this.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thank you very much for your review, Mark. We are now in high season and is expected to find more people in all tours than usual. We might consider for next year to start a bit earlier to avoid crowds.

Nice city to visit!

Carolina_V, Jul 2025

The locations we visited were great and the tour guide was nice. However it was very hard to understand him. I took many other tours in Thailand and the driver always reached out the day before confirming pick up location and time. This one didn’t and they were late picking up. I had to contact the operator for them to inform me they were delayed.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you very much for your feedback and for joining our tour. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the places visited and found our guide to be friendly. That said, we sincerely apologize for the delay in pickup and the lack of prior communication. Please note that pickup times can sometimes vary, as the hotels are located at different distances and each day's logistics are slightly different. Occasionally, we also have to wait for other guests who are delayed, which can affect the overall schedule. Even so, we fully understand that this can be frustrating, and we’re working on improving communication to make sure guests are always informed in advance when any delay occurs. We truly appreciate your comments—they help us improve and provide a better service for future travelers.
