Aei Rocks! - We enjoyed immensely our private tour with Aei of the old city of Chang Mai. Being a long time local Aei took us off the well worn tour route and we were able to immerse ourselves in the back streets and local eateries that one time visitors would normally miss, and which add so much to the experience. Aei was polite, informative and enthusiastic with impeccable English to boot. We could not recommend her enough, Lauren & Murray Melbourne, Australia

Chiang mai Hot! - Boy was a terrific guide. Chiang Mai was like an inferno on the day of the tour; but Boy was completely flexible and we used his car to see the sights. He was right on time, very knowledgeable, personable, funny, and insightful. Communication was easy, both through chats and when we were together. His English is really excellent. He has a passion for his city, and it comes through clearly as he guides you along the way. I would highly recommend him.

Excellent - I thoroughly enjoyed my time on this tour. My guide A was amazing - so friendly, knowledgeable and professional. She took me to all the good places while introducing me to the history of the city as well as local food, drinks and public transportation. This is a must do for anyone wanting to discover the highlights as well as back streets of Chiang Mai.

Excellent guide - great for culture & food - A brilliant half day of culture and food. Wuthikorn was friendly and knowledgeable about the temples and Lanna culture. It was a really hot day so he made sure we had plenty of water breaks, and recommended we finished our morning in the indoor air-con food market at the Central Market Chang Mai Airport. The food market was excellent - huge range of authentic food and he stayed with us to help order different things and try particular northern Thai dishes. Great for foodies. I’d highly recommend him.

An amazing experience - I chose this tour and Naphat as our guide as we wanted to have an experience which helped us better understand Buddhism as well as seeing all the charming side of this great city. Naphat felt like a friend by the end of the tour and we would like to come back again one day and share more stories about our spiritual journey, Naphat is quite special and if you want to hear more about the spiritual aspect then she is indeed the guide for you. The old town is just brilliant and Naphat will point out many places to go to in the day and evening 😍

Wonderful sightseeing trip in Chiang May - We had such a great experience with Wuthikorn, who’s nickname is Boy! He knows so much about the Thai and the Lanna history and brought us to the city‘s most interesting temples. He also took us to a food market where we learned a lot about the local kitchen. After that, we had lunch together. We can highly recommend Boy as a tour Guide, he is very kind, very professional and organizes the tour according to the customer's wishes. Don‘t miss a Tour with Boy!

Great tour for day one in Chiang Mai - We have two little kids (5 and 4) so this was a great relaxed pace and short introduction to Chiang Mai. We learned quite a lot and enjoyed the company of our guide. Our kids were asking us the next day to see her again! Thanks again!!
