Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We read the guide LLP reviews beforehand and believed that Boy would be the best fit for a half-day walking tour around Chiang Mai — and this turned out to be absolutely true. Boy was engaging, interesting, and extremely knowledgeable about the city and its history. The tour gave us a real feel for Chiang Mai and its culture, helped by the fact that we explored the area on foot at a relaxed, gentle pace — more of an amble than a walk, and not strenuous at all. We visited several smaller local temples as well as the main central temple at Wat Chedi Luang, along with key landmarks including the Three Kings Monument, Wat Inthakhin Sadue, and Wat Tung Yu. Along the way, Boy shared fascinating insights and stories that brought the city to life. The tour also included a stop at a local market for refreshments, which was a lovely touch and added to the authentic experience. We came away feeling happy, informed, and genuinely connected to Chiang Mai. We would highly recommend Boy to anyone looking for an insightful, well-paced, and enjoyable half-day tour of the city. "
"The guide, Purichat who is also known as May, was a superb guide. She accommodated to our requests and ensured that the food was not overly spicy as we have children who is not able to take dishes that are too spicy. She shared Chiang Mai history and characteristic dishes found here."
"Ratana was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable, and just generally a lot of fun. "

"We just returned from our tour, and I am so so so full. We ate so much delicious food, and Mae had no difficulty at all catering to our needs as vegetarians. I will never be hungry again after all this eating in multiple restaurants and market stalls. Mae’s energy is never ending. She kept giving us new information about the food, the neighborhoods, the country. We started at a temple which was an added bonus, as we got to hang a lantern and make an offering with water - things we wouldn’t have done on our own. I wish Mae offered other tours because we would definitely sign up for them!"
"We had a wonderful time eating our way down the streets! Highly recommend Purichat as she knows exactly where to go for the best quality and recommends new foods for you to try. She is an excellent guide. "
"We had an absolutely brilliant "Highlights & Hidden Gems of Chiang Mai" tour with Wuthikorn. He is incredibly warm, welcoming, and gentle and his knowledge of the city and its history is truly impressive. If you, like us, love temples, their stories, and fascinating insights into Buddhism, this tour is definitely for you. We also “discovered” markets, tiny alleyways, and charming little corners of Chiang Mai we never would have found on our own. We tasted delicious local specialties and enjoyed every moment of the experience. We highly recommend exploring Chiang Mai with Wuthikorn!"
"“We had a wonderful sightseeing tour of Chiang Mai with Naphat. She brought a spiritual and personal dimension to the day, inviting us to see the city from a different perspective. She showed us her Chiang Mai—its Wats, local markets, small shops, and delicious food—and shared her genuine passion for the city throughout. A truly enriching experience.”"
"If you’re looking for an open-minded, empathetic and truly professional guide, you’ll find all of that in her. People often say that the first personal meeting is what matters most — and when you meet her, just like we did, you’ll feel as if you’ve found a friend you didn’t know you were missing. She is warm-hearted, knowledgeable, and full of compassion. We were incredibly grateful to spend the day with her. She shaped the tour perfectly around our interests, and no matter how many questions we had, she answered every single one with patience and deep insight. If you want to create unforgettable and beautiful memories, we truly recommend booking a tour with her before her calendar fills up. All the excellent reviews she receives speak for themselves. We wish you a wonderful trip and a good life. Naphat, we wish you a joyful life 😊 Warm regards, Qui & Neeke from Germany"
"May was incredible. She met us on time and took us on an incredible tour. Her enthusiasm for the food of the region and how she shared her knowledge was very infectious. Not just the food but also the places where we ate added to our positive experience. We so enjoyed the visit to the market and the final stop at the temple. May was so generous in sharing her information and cooking tips as well. Thank you."
"We had 3 tours with Wuthikorn booked and I'm so glad we did! This was a walking tour of the old town, and he took us to see a number of temples and hidden gems. We had seen a few showy temples at the edges of the city, but Wuthikorn took us to the historic ones which we found much more interesting and indeed, much more impressive! I cannot say enough good things about the tour and all we learned about Buddhism, the history of the city, and the traditions we were witnessing. If you have the chance, book a tour with him!"
