With locals gems of Chiang Mai - Naphat is such a lovely person and we very much enjoyed our time with her. Our tour was interrupted by a heavy rainstorm and Naphat stayed with us and chatted in a lovely temple even though it was longer than we had paid for. Highly recommended her as a knowledgeable and empathetic guide.

A must do in Chiangmai - This was worth every cent and second of my time. The guide customized the trip to my needs. He even used his own car because it started raining, instead of walking. He is knowledgeable, caring, and kind.

Chiang Mai Private Tour - We had a great tour of the old city and a local market that we never would have known was there. Our guide Mindy was so knowledgeable and was a wonderful guide. We could tell she really cared about sharing her Thai culture with us and kept the mood fun during the trip. Would definitely recommend this tour!

Aei Rocks! - We enjoyed immensely our private tour with Aei of the old city of Chang Mai. Being a long time local Aei took us off the well worn tour route and we were able to immerse ourselves in the back streets and local eateries that one time visitors would normally miss, and which add so much to the experience. Aei was polite, informative and enthusiastic with impeccable English to boot. We could not recommend her enough, Lauren & Murray Melbourne, Australia

Chiang mai Hot! - Boy was a terrific guide. Chiang Mai was like an inferno on the day of the tour; but Boy was completely flexible and we used his car to see the sights. He was right on time, very knowledgeable, personable, funny, and insightful. Communication was easy, both through chats and when we were together. His English is really excellent. He has a passion for his city, and it comes through clearly as he guides you along the way. I would highly recommend him.

Not worth the money - I would not recommend. Tour guide did not seem as knowledgable as other tours i’ve taken. Tour was not personable at all. I also got sick immediately after tasting the fruit that was provided on the tour. I only got 1 hour of the tour before i had to go back to my room. Save your money. Just book a cooking tour or tour of the temple instead.
