I had a great time on this tour! Noom is very friendly and knows a lot about the temples and the city. He explained everything clearly and gave good local tips. At the beginning, I choose to take the stairs instead if the elevator. I definitely recommand it for the experience, even with the heat 🙂 The driver was also very kind. Thank you !
Perfect in every way 👍🏻

We booked a private tour for The Doi Suthep and Palad Temples in Chiang Mai with AP Good Travel via Trip Advisor. Our private guide, Noom, was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Chiang Mai, Buddhism and the influences of other religions on the region, architecture and culture. Having a private guide was the perfect way to get a customized experience for this tour. Noom taught us how to honor the Buddha and get blessed by a monk at Doi Suthep. That was a very special experience. I highly recommend Noom as a private tour guide!

Found this great tour company through my hotel concierge. I had struggled finding private tour companies that would take a solo traveler out believe it or not. Nui was fantastic and the driver Tom was safe and careful. Because he had also been a Buddhist monk, Nui absolutely knew so much about the religion and even helped me get blessed by a monk which was a highlight of my trip. I highly recommend this tour company to anyone wishing a more tailored, personal experience. English was fantastic and we also visited a jade factory.
All questions answered. 😁

Tobi was a really good host. We had a really great time with him. He would answer all the questions we had, and the experience was really good. He explains all the points. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and will definitely be asking for him for other tours as well.

Gobi was great and very knowledgeable giving us all the details of the history and meaning of temples and Chiang Mai with so much patience. Definitely worth it to do this tour while in Chiang Mai. The tour is on a very comfortable van with plenty of cold water and AC.
What fun and beauty

The tours offered by all good travel are great and can be adjusted as desired. We took this half day but also added the Hmong tribe. Gobi helps you meet people because he has a natural empathy. And the minivan is nice with water on demand.

Bee was very informative and knowledgeable. She was very polite and had a great attitude. The driver, Mr B, kept the car very clean, drove comfortably, and made sure there was water and towels to provide.
