Excellent tour. - Excellent tour. The tour guide/driver Tuk doing the best in his job. Speak good English. The 5 villages we visited are where the real mountain people live and work. So don't expect like a custom tourist attraction. The whole trip good and present.

Wonderful day trip! - The day trip is a really nice tour, it was interesting to see what life is like outside the big city of Chiang Mai and of course the cave is breathtaking. We would especially like to thank our guide Saman. He has an incredible knowledge of plants, customs and history. Last but not least, we also laughed a lot with him, great sense of humour.

Life changing visuals to experience this Thailand area! - This is a MUST tour to see! Tik did an amazing, well paced tour. I love orchids & butterflies. The farm was beautiful to see and learn. The orchid and butterfly jewelry was stunning.
Then off we went to the villages. It was educational but showed you such tranquil peace the villages are with a culture preserved
I love caves. This was a cave temple that spanned an amazing depth with sights unimaginable in a cave.
And our lunch spot was delicious!
I highly recommend this tour!
