Tour guide

Nicole_B, Feb 2025
Tour Guide was late and we were not able to have the fulltime at each stop. Tour guide was uninformative.

Take a taxi instead

Sasha_O, Jan 2025
Opting for a taxi might have been a better choice. The pick-up was late, setting a poor tone for the tour. At Doi Suthep, we were told we had 45 minutes to explore, but after only 30 minutes, we were rushed back to the parking area - only to wait another 10 minutes for the van to arrive. The visit to the tribal village was even more disappointing. It turned out to be nothing more than a market filled with mass-produced souvenirs, with no opportunities to interact with locals, visit their homes, or see their fields as promised. The tour's description and photos are misleading and fail to reflect the actual experience.

Good tour, short day but great sights

Lesley_D, Jul 2024
We had Mack as our guide and Mr Som as our careful driver. There was only 5 in our group which was nice as everyone was punctual. We visited the Karen village first then Doi Suthep temple. A bit touristy at the Karen village. Felt a bit weird and uncomfortable when three young girls started up the music and danced when we approached. We didn’t “donate” as we didn’t like to encourage such exploitation of kids. Happy to donate to the small Karen museum and purchase products from the store owners. It was a beautiful and peaceful spot. Doi Suthep was busy by the time we got there but we were afforded plenty of time to wander around on our own. Highly recommend.

Great, value for money

Great tour to Doi Suthep and Umong village, professional guide and driver. Informative, allowed a quick stop on the road down for a view of city.

Nice Visit to Temple

PM_A, Apr 2024
The temple was highlight of the tour. The village tour is basically through a lane which has shops set up by the Hmong Tribe villagers....there is no description of the lifestyle or any other activity of the tribe. Flower garden visit is ordinary.

It’s feels special to be...

Ma_L, Jan 2024
It’s feels special to be able to see my own nationality on this side of the country and how they live.

Súper!
