Best walking tour in Chiang Mai! - Had such a great day on this walking tour with Boy! I was traveling solo and it felt like I spent the day with a friend. He was so informative and kind and I learned a lot. I was even able to partake in some things at the temple. He knew I had an interest in food and went above and beyond taking me to some street food places and a Michelin star spot for lunch. Definitely recommend this tour and request Boy!!

Best walking tour in Chiang Mai! - I had an amazing tour with Boy! I was sooo and it felt like I was spending the day with a friend. He taught me so much about daily life in Chiang Mai, the history of the city, and Buddhism. I was even able to partake in some activities at the temples. He definitely showed me some hidden gems around the city as well. He knew I was interested in food and went above and beyond taking me to lunch and some street food vendors. I highly recommend this tour! Definitely request Boy as your guide!

Incredible Old City Immersion! - Our Old City tour in Chiang Mai with Naphat was truly unforgettable. She was an incredible guide, blending her deep knowledge with a warm, personable approach that made us feel like we were exploring the city with a local friend. Naphat not only took us to the most notable temples in town but also guided us through the vibrant community, sharing insights into daily life and local culture. The experience felt immersive and authentic, with highlights including learning about Buddhist religion and spirituality in a meaningful way and taking a fun tuk-tuk ride to a bustling local market. We can’t recommend this tour with Naphat enough—it’s the perfect way to see the best of Chiang Mai and connect with its rich history and culture!

Wonderful way to see Chiang Mai and learn more about the culture - Our guide, Purichat, was really lovely. She was able to show us a couple of places we wanted to see plus had other places in mind that we might have an interest in. During the tour she shared information about Thai culture and what we were seeing. For example the spirit houses which people have in front of their houses to shelter spirits and bring good fortune to the home. She was very well versed on temples and Thai culture. I would recommend the tour if want to know more about what makes Chiang Mai so special.

Great bike tour thru Chiang Mai - We had a great time biking with Ae through Chiang Mai. The cars are pretty respectful of bike riders and Ae makes sure that you are safe. Saw a lot in a short amount of time bc we were in a bike. I recommend her tour highly!

A wonderful morning bike ride with an amazing host through Chiang Mai’s Old Town - We booked on short notice the evening before and were warmly welcomed by Ae, who was (as we) already ready at the meeting point shortly before our meeting time. The bikes & helmets were ready and off we went on a wonderfully organized bike tour through the old town: Ae is super knowledgeable on all sights and one can only imagine how much thought went into the route! We went through smaller streets to multiple stops, had a relaxed chance to experience the city while Ae was always pointing out interesting things, answering questions and making sure we had a great experience. While riding the bikes, Ae was a superb Guide: Giving clear instructions, while making sure we are safe by either using smaller streets, or observing the traffic and waiting for a clear window on more buzzing streets. We are super happy we stumbled upon this amazing tour while scrolling for what to do in Chiang Mai. We highly recommend her and will be sure to have one of the other tours she offers when we come back to Chiang Mai!

Not a standard tourist tour. Worth it if real life is what you’re interested i - If you’re looking to visit the normal tourist sites with a guide then this one isn’t for you. However if you’d like to see real life here in Chaing Mai the he’s your one! Boy took us to see lesser visited stuff, but in his opinion sites of significance. He explained in detail temples and shrines together with Buddhist culture. We visited flower and food markets and he explained street food and street food culture. Well worth spending 3 hours with him.
