Best Part of Our Trip So Far!
"This is our first visit to Thailand and though we’ve done a lot of research prior to our trip, there’s no substitute for the knowledge of a local. Ratana was incredibly helpful in planning out the days itinerary, which was so helpful as first time visitors to Chiang Mai. I told her a few major sites we wanted to see and some general areas of interest and she did the rest! We hit all our stops plus some others we never would’ve known about.
She was also so much fun to talk to and joke around with. She was a wealth of information on Thai culture, history, Buddhism, and more.
When we ended our day we both just felt so incredibly lucky to have had this experience and to have met her. If you are considering booking a day tour with Ratana, let this be a big big big recommendation to do so!! You won’t regret it."

Fun and informative city tour!
"Naphat was a wonderful guide! She provided extensive history on Buddhism, Chiang Mai, and the evolution of Thailand and its culture throughout the last decade. My teenage son felt sick on the tour, and she was very accommodating and kind. She is also funny, and warmed up with witty jokes with my kids. We also explored some of her favorite food places, and we are still dreaming of the lunch we had a the local market. Thank you so much for the enriching experience, Naphat!"

Amazing Day in Chiang Mai!
"Wuthikorn took us on a city tour of Chiang Mail. He was awesome, had excellent English, and really showed us around and explained the many details of their Buddhist temples, local markets, and the history behind the historic downtown area. Highly recommend him for a good city tour! "

Amazing food your!
"Our tour with Eddie was amazing! We went to a hidden gem of a market in a local location off the beaten path. The foods were all delicious and Eddie did a great job accommodating to our preferences (one vegetarian). Eddie was a great teacher and we learned so much from him. After so much food, we will be full for days!"

Most Incredible Experience!
"Best trip it was worth every dollar! We booked last minute the afternoon before and weren’t sure if it would confirm. It did!
Minty was easy to communicate with from the minute we booked. In the morning we asked her if she could take us for a local coffee and breakfast and she accommodated us with no hesitation.
She was super knowledgeable and shared a lot of the history of Thailand and of the religion with us and answered many questions we had.
She offered to take many pictures for us so we could take a break from selfies which we were grateful for.
She was calm, organized, patient and her level professionalism exceeded our expectations. She is a beautiful soul, passionate about her country and ready to deliver just as her profile states. We feel like we made a friend and her spirit stayed with us throughout our entire trip to Thailand.
Thank you Minty - you really are the best!"
