Excellent guide and tour - Highly suggest to anyone interested in learning about the Buddhist culture. Non, my tour guide, was fantastic and knowledgeable. Seeing Wat Phra That Doi Suthep with no crowds was amazing. Even rain could not ruin the day. If you are thinking about booking a tour to see temples - book this one.

Do it - I really enjoyed this tour, even though it was cloudy and we couldn’t see the sunrise. Our tour guide was fantastic, sorry I can’t remember his name, but he was a monk for 35+ years. I’ve been to Doi Suthep many tunes, but this trip was much more interesting with the back story of the monks. And the bats in the temple caves! Listening to the monks chant, it was all very beautiful.

Amazing temples and fantastic guide! - Loved it! There were only two people on this tour, so it felt like a privat tour! Tom, our guide, went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time! We made an extra stop on request of one of us and he even organized a spontaneous 'monks chat/meditation lesson and a blessing' for us and gave us a nature trail adventure to show us some templeruins and animals! His knowledge about Buddhism, Thailand and its history was truly enjoyable, specially loved his stories about his own experiences as a monk! I learned so much and got so many experiences I never would have gotten on my own! We didn't get to see the sunrise over Chiang Mai as it was super cloudy and foggy that day but that gave the place a quiet and ery atmosphere I loved! Totally worth getting up in the wee hours of the morning!

Small group tour - Defense worth waking up early. Beating the crowds and the heat. And honestly i think everything is so much more beautiful in the morning light. Sipohn was a great guide. He was able to explain and answer the questions we had. It was cloudy on our tour but still just as beautiful. The hidden temple was so beautiful and serene. With it being overcast and a bit misty it created a very peaceful atmosphere. Getting to sit with the monks while they chanted was really fun. Currently in my meditation era and definitely wanted that experience. He was also a great photographer!

Book this tour! - Amazing tour, highly recommend and very worth getting up early. Our guide, Tom, was so kind, spiritual, and knowledgeable - we learned a lot about the history of Thailand and Buddhism, and had great conversations. Absolutely loved having the chance to sit and meditate while listening to the monks’ morning chanting. Breakfast, views, and abundant nature around the temples were fantastic.

Interesting and culturally significant tour. - Pickup was on time to the minute. Guide James is amazing and takes care of the group well. He has a good sense of humor and is very knowledgeable as an ex-monk of twelve years. Do take into axcount that on rainy season, seeing the sunrise is nkt guaranteed. But you wull see the view of the city, and hear the monk chanting and get a chance to view the stupa and all amazing religious artifacts way ahead of all the crowd.

Temple Tour and Waterfall Hike with Tom - Tom was a super guide who not only showed us wonderful places with unique views and the full power of Thai nature, but also explained us a lot about Buddhist culture. He brought us together with experienced monks, we could meditate and talk to them together. In addition, he led us with an exciting hike to a beautiful waterfall in the middle of the Jungle. A unique, unforgettable experience. I can recommend Tom as a guide to absolutely anyone.

Great tour, best guide! - Really great tour! We were only 3 people in the tour which made it better and the experience was great! Non is a great guide and shared a lot of information about the temples, budhism and monks life, and we got to experience the temple in the early hours of the morning without many crowds! Recommend this tour! We were back at the hotel at 10:30am which is great too if you have afternoon plans!
