Visited 3 temples,...

Debbie_A, Feb 2025

Visited 3 temples, wandered through the market and had a great lunch with our tour guide. Lina was friendly and she was willing to take extra time beyond the half day, even recommending a restaurant for lunch and a coffee shop after our meal. It was a good introduction to Chiang Rai.

Excellent demonstration of Buddhist faith over the years.

The contrast between the new White Temple and the much older Emerald Buddha Temple was interesting. Both worth visiting, especially the latter from an historical point of view.

beautiful, engaging, relaxed

poppy gave me a private tour around chiang mai - this was a wonderful experience and learned a lot about the town!

Lovely and informative tour

Katherine_D, Jul 2023

Our guide, Poppy, was very polite and knowledgeable and was happy to adjust the tour to fit in the Temple of Mercy after we expressed an interest. He was very patient and allowed us to take our time looking at all the sights. The white temple is spectacular and the art gallery within the grounds is also not to be missed. We also enjoyed the Cave of Art, although this came at a small extra charge. Overall very happy customers and pleased with the tour. Would definitely recommend, however a reminder to pack shoulder coverings would have been great as we didn’t realise they were compulsory until we arrived at the temple and then had to purchase them.
