Great way to get a flavour of the city - Avi was a great tour guide for our tuk tuk half day tour. He spoke excellent English & was very knowledgeable of his city. He was helpful & nothing was too much trouble for him. The tour gave us both a great insight into Chiang Mai. We visited several temples, passed by historic landmarks which were pointed out & chatted about. My favourite stop off was at the market where we saw an amazing array of fresh fruit & vegetables. I now wish we had also stopped at the flower market. I saw more of Chiang Mai on this half day tour than I did in 3 days last year. I would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Chiang Mai for the 1st time as it certainly gave us a flavour of the city. Thank you Avi (& the young lady driver) for an excellent informative tuk tuk experience.

Loved this tour! - Such a great tour — private tour with own Tuk Tuk driver and tour guide. Really knowledgeable tour guide, Chanji, and great driver (very safe and professional). Interesting locations and helpful information shared from the guide. A good amount of activities packed into the time frame. Definitely not too much, especially since I thankfully was driven around with the Tuk Tuk (considering the humidity).

Great time!! - Of course you can see all the temples on your own, but having a tour guide explain the art, traditions, etc felt really worth it. We came at a good time during the Inthakin Festival and there was so much we wouldn't have known if Chanji wasn't with us. She was very friendly and happy to answer all the questions we had. Getting to ride a tuk tuk across Old City and outside was also so much nicer than having to walk and get lost!

Chiang Mai's Old City - We really enjoyed this private tour that included some of Chiang Mai's popular temples, as well as several monuments and markets. Our knowledgeable and friendly guide 'Banana' educated us on the history surrounding the Old City, kings and monks (as well as being our personal photographer). And our tuk tuk driver was always waiting to take us to the next place. A very pleasant morning!
