Chiang Mai History w/Som

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00This was a really great tour that I would absolutely recommend. My guide, Som, was excellent. She was very knowledgeable, kind, and peaceful, somehow seeming to embody the soft spirit of the temples we visited. I learned a lot about Buddhism and Chiang Mai’s history while seeing some of its incredible architecture. The three temples we visited are all very different and impressive in their own way. Logistically, the tour was very smooth and operated with precision and great hospitality, as seems to be the norm in this great country.
Great 1/2 day tour.

5.00Had an amazing morning touring of three major temples. The guide was very kind and gave a very good explanation of everything and did a phenomenal job of pointing out all the highlights. There was also a nice opportunity to shop near one of the wats and enjoy some local coffee which made the morning tour even more fun! Highly recommend!
Great Guide/Driver Team

5.00It;s hard to imagine a better duo than Guide Som and Driver PJ for a private custom tour of Chiang Mai. Som was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable about the various sites we visited, and able to communicate the information very effectively to us. Her English is excellent, and her manner very friendly and easy going. She was truly a delightful guide, with great skills and a sense of humor to ensure that we had a fun day. Driver PJ was always ready for us to be picked up, with an endless supply of bottled water and safe and careful driving. Som and PJ were truly a winning team for us, we would definitle recommend them and will utilize them again when we return!
