5.00Our guide Goby and driver Mr. Boo were fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and very professional. We learned so much about Thai culture and history throughout the tour. The itinerary was well-paced: first exploring Chedi Luang and Pantao temples in the city, then finishing with the stunning Wat Phra That Doi Suthep for incredible views. Highly recommend!

More Than 5 Stars for NooM & Mr. Boo!

5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ More Than 5 Stars for NooM & Mr. Boo! We had an incredible day touring Chiang Mai with NooM and Mr. Boo — easily the best guides we’ve had on this entire trip. From start to finish, everything was seamless, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyable. They picked us up from our hotel and took us on a beautifully paced journey through some of Chiang Mai’s most iconic temples. We started with Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, where they gave us fascinating historical background dating back to 1373 and helped us fully appreciate the significance of this sacred site. The views over the city were amazing, and their explanations made the experience even more meaningful. From there, they drove us into the city to explore Chedi Luang Temple, sharing stories about the Great Stupa, the Emerald Buddha, and Chiang Mai’s city pillar. Their knowledge of local history, culture, and Buddhism was truly impressive. We finished at Wat Pantao, a beautiful teak Lanna-style temple filled with rich details — wooden Buddha images, ancient manuscripts, handcrafted ceramics — all of which they explained with clarity and passion. Throughout the day, the drive was smooth and pleasant, the timing was perfect, and the conversation was genuinely enjoyable. Both NooM and Mr. Boo are smart, informative, and incredibly friendly. They answered every question we had with depth and insight. We would absolutely recommend asking specifically for them. If we could give more than 5 stars, we would. Fantastic guides and fantastic experience. 🙏✨
Chang Mai - MAGIC!

5.00I would like to give a huge and warm thanks, especially to Nui and his accompanying driver, Boo! the two tours I booked have been so memorable and will be unforgettable. Nui's kindness, attentiveness and strong knowledge of Chang Mai made my trip that extra special. Nui provided clear insight into Buddhism (Upon my request) which I found fascinating. Half day tour, day 1 - Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, Wat Phan Tao & Wat Chadi Luang. We begin the journey by climbing the 308 steps which lead to the temple. Full day tour, day 2 - The highest spot in Thailand, Doi Inthanon, Wachirathan waterfall & Mountain tribe meet with tea/coffee tasting at Chom Thong Ban Luang. I experienced a touching and spiritual moment with Nui, we were selected by a Monk to receive blessings, we were provided blessed water which was to be poured into one of the trees that integrate through the temple. Amazing place, people, food and things to do. I will be back :) Warm regards and blessings 🙏 Thank you Nui 😊🙏🙏🙏

5.00From start to finish, my tour in Chiang Mai was exceptional thanks to the warm hospitality and professionalism of Khun Gobi, Khun Arm, and Khun Boo. They went above and beyond to create a memorable day, and I truly felt cared for every step of the way. Not only did I get to see beautiful places, but I also learned so much about Thai culture. They were always open to my questions and shared their knowledge in such a kind and thoughtful way, making the whole experience much richer and more personal. The transportation was excellent – a comfortable van with great air conditioning, bottled water provided, and even refreshing wet wipes to stay cool along the way. Every little detail was thought of, which made the journey both easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend booking a tour with them. Their professionalism, friendliness, and passion for sharing their culture made my time in Chiang Mai unforgettable.
Chiang Mai Fully Experienced with Noom

5.00Exceptional tour of the city market with Noom who was very knowledgeable & spoke incredible English. We got to experience unique fruit & protein (fried insects) and a delightful walk through. The temples were amazing and again Noom’s historic recollection of Chiang Mai & Temples made our visit learned & enjoyable. Wish we had had more time. Our driver Mr. Nan kept us cool, hydrated, and very safe in a luxuriously comfortable van. I would give 10 stars if possible!

An amazing 2 days tour with Noom and Boo

5.00We had 2 amazing days with Noom and Boo, we visited several important temples including Doi Suthep, learned so much about the Thai history and culture, their talked about their own experiences as well and made extremely comfortable during all the tours. On the second day we visited an elephant sanctuary and had remarkable moments in a place with clear care and respect to elephants, we knew the silk factory, the silver factory and the umbrella too, all showing their traditions on how to make things in their special way. It was really a pleasure having Noom and Boo guiding us along this amazing journey. Highly recommended!
