Tong was 12/10! Very knowledgeable and very well spoken. Made us laugh and when we wanted to rest he gave us quiet time. Took us to some beautiful spots and also was great at taking group photos. Would highly recommend this tour!

M was such a wonderful guide. We learned so much about his home town and also got to try local foods with him. He answered all of our questions and more. We will definitely want to book with M again!! Thanks M!

I’ve always wanted to do this tour but what really made it as great as it was, was our tour guide M. He was very friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable about each site. Not to mention our own professional photographer perfect for instagram! He really went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. From start to finish, he ensured that it was a seamless experience and despite the long drive, it went by like nothing. I also appreciate learning about his own personal life experiences as it allowed me to learn more about Thai culture. He also took us to a very delicious local food spot for lunch and it was amazing! Very worth it for the lifetime experience and memories. Thank you M!

Awesome visit to Chiang Rai temples and felexibility to add Lalita Cafe and pick us up in Chiang Rai early instead of Chiang Mai.

We had a fantastic time exploring some of what Chiang Rai has to offer, and our guide Yut is what made it so great. He and Eddie, our driver, were prompt picking us up at our hotel and even had snacks and a cooler of cold water and cooling towels in the back. During the ride, Yut regaled us with the basic history of how Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai came to be, as well as information about modern Thai history and agriculture. (Ask him about his coffee plants!) He was so knowledgeable about Thailand in general, the temples, and Buddhism. I learned a lot. He kept us ahead of the crowds at every temple (and these are major tourist spots), knew the perfect place to stop for lunch to try khao soi, and even gave us the seemingly-obvious but definitely not obvious tip to keep our shoes under the awning at temples, in case it started to rain. He was also happy to answer my 500 questions and even sent me resources for further learning when I said I wanted to learn more about Buddhism. If you just want to go to a temple, you can go to a temple. But you hire a tour guide for the experience, and our experience with Yut as our guide was top notch! And big big shout out to Eddie, who is a very safe but still very fast driver! His SUV is spacious, clean, and comfortable. We got caught in a huge storm up in the mountains but he handled it expertly. He also stopped me from face planting when I missed the runnerboard getting out.
