3 very different temples - Guide & driver arrived on time ready for our half day tour. Som (guide) spoke good English & was very knowledgeable. The 3 temples we visited were very different & we enjoyed them all. Our favourite was Wat Pha Lot, it was a hidden gem & so tranquil.

Informative Tour - Wonderful tour of three major temples, one in old town Chiang Mai and two on the mountain. Ooh, our guide was great at providing the background on the temples, Buddhism, and Buddhist monks. She used personal history to provide an understanding of a Thai family's connection to Buddhism. Our favorite was Wat Pha Lat which is on the mountain and very serene with a stream and small waterfalls. Travel is by air conditioned van. Trip to the mountain offered a view of the city of Chiang Mai outside the old town

Buddhism crash course - Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and answered any questions we had but provided so much information, I don’t know how she remembers so much!. The heat of the day was a little too hot so I would recommend doing it in the evening or first thing in the morning and bring a hat. I learned so much about Buddhism and specifically how it is different in Thailand to other countries, and much history of Thailand as well. Thank you so much to our guide, would Highly recommend anyone to do this tour!!!

The city tour kicked off... - The city tour kicked off with a visit to the Tha Phae Gate where we all did the catwalk among the pigeons. This was followed by visit to the impressive Wat Chedi Luang. We then left the city and drove up to the hills. The serenity of Wat Pha Lat and the splendour of Doi Suthep were simply amazing. Our guide, Panni, was very knowledgeable and helpful. We were very impressed with how clean every place we visited was despite the crowds.

Tour is good but guide need to explain more and stop chatting with the driver all the time. - The tour was OK. Guide not bad. But the guide and the driver - two ladies were talking too much in Thai continuously. They can talk but better to find time to explain about the places that we were driving through and a bit about the nature, and lifestyle of people or area.
