Great tour - Nui was fantastic, very knowledgeable and kind . Really enjoyed the private tour . Would recommend this to others. Took me a while to write this but wanted to make sure others are aware of this good tour operator. I would use them again if and when I go back to Chiang Mai.

Amazing experience! - Chiang Mai was our eighth major city visit in 24 months, we did tours in all sometimes more than one. This is the first time we have felt compelled to write a review about our tour yesterday.
Why? Because our guide, Nikki, was just amazing. So incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and thoughtful. We got a real insight into Thai Buddhism, meditation, the way of life, culture and history of the Lan Na kingdom.
We really could not recommend this tour highly enough.
Thank you Nikki for a fabulous morning 🙏

Good tour - The tour guide was really good. She knew EVERYTHING and explained it very well. I felt she enjoyed the job and sharing all her knowledge about her culture and history. She was very kind and helpful. The driver was good too.

What an Experience! - During our stay in Chiang Mai we booked three private tours to Wat Prathat Doi Suthep, Chiang Rai/Golden Trangle and Doi Inthanon National Park. The tour company had assigned the same guide and driver to all three tours. We very much appreciated not only the extraordinary knowledge and communication skills of our guide ‘A’ as well as the driving skills of she driver but also their company. Guide and driver are shown in the pictures attached. We highly recommend AP for sightseeing tours around Chiang Mai.

Tour of Chiang Mai - My friends and I rented a red car driver to tour us through the mountains of Chiang Mai. Wat Palad was one of my favorite temples. We had to hike to get there where its tucked away in the mountains.

Revisiting memorable site with family - This site is a long walk up a mountain or you can now take a tram. Once on top, the temple is breathtaking and we’ll worth the trip. I had visited here in 1973 while in the military and wanted my family to see this place. It is an experience no one can forget.
How they got the material up there and how they built a beautiful dragon on both sides if the steps all the way down the mountain is a marvel. That it is still in pristine condition is equally as amazing.

Great tour, great tour guide! - My wife and I booked a half day private tour to visit Wat Palad and Wat Doi Suthep on our honeymoon, and we had the best time with our guide Nan and our driver Voo.
Nan and Voo are hilarious and have great camaraderie, and immediately made us feel like we were all old friends on the drive through Chiang Mai and into the mountains.
Our first stop was Wat Palad, a rustic and simple but beautiful site. Nan gave us a fascinating overview of its history through its architecture, which features Lanna (old northern kingdom), Burmese (via earlier conquests by Myanmar), and Thai styles.
We then continued to Wat Doi Suthep at the top of the mountain, just in time for Nan to ensure that we had front row seats for the monks’ chanting ceremony and subsequent blessing ceremony.
Nan’s deep expertise on these temples and Buddhist practices was apparent throughout. He showed us all over the temple grounds, highlighting the different kinds and styles of Buddha and explaining the cultural significance of everything we saw. He also arranged for an impromptu blessing for our marriage by a monk!
We had a great time and learned a lot. I highly recommend this company’s tours, especially with Nan and Voo!

Great experience - We had the best experience we could have hoped for, even in rainy weather! Our guide Noi was very attentive and she was very knowledgeable. She helped us with all doubts we had and made us feel comfortable at all times. Our driver was friendly and drove safely around the city as well. If you're looking for a half-day experience, don't miss this tour!
