Tik is the best tour guide - Tik was the best tour guide I’ve ever worked with and he made this experience memorable for us. Everything was so well explained and enriched by his wealth of knowledge. The tour had a good variety to it and made use of the full day. Lunch was also fantastic. I highly recommend this tour and working with Tik specifically.

An interesting day in Chiang Mai - Tik was very knowledgeable on the caves and the tribes that we saw.
It was a fun experience. We got to eat fruits directly from the farms which was a nice touch.

Very enjoyable tour 😁 - Great tour with an excellent guide! Tik was very well informed and knew a lot about the cave and the tribes. He mentioned that he’s been visiting the area for over 20 years so he’s well able to speak about the peoples’ history culture and traditions. 10/10 would recommend to anyone 😁

Insight into the Northern culture - This was a lovely cultural day, seeing some of the history and customs of the hill tribes and their way of life. We also enjoyed the butterfly and orchid farm, the make some beautiful jewellery from the flowers. Lastly, the Chiang Dao cave and temple was quite an experience too. Whilst not quite as ‘must do’ as the elephant sanctuary and ‘Sticky Waterfall’ it was well worth doing. Our guide Tik was very knowledgeable and provided lots of interesting information about the people and culture in the north.
