Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Everything went very well from booking, communication before meeting and the tour itself. Good walking pace, interesting places and a good afternoon out. "
"May is the best guide. She will take you to places you would not know about and can teach you about all of the food in Thailand. She knows all of the ingredients at the market and can talk about the cooking. She is the best!"
"Mae picked us up from our hotel. The previous day she swapped our pick up to make it more convenient for us. She took us to several sites in the old town then we headed off to a local beauty spot for lunch. Mae looked after us so well and was very knowledgeable about the local area, people, customs and history. She dropped us back at a different destination which helped us tremendously. We can absolutely recommend Mae if you are looking for an excellent friendly guide "
"We had a wonderful time on this trip. Wuthikorn was a great guide and showed us lots of Chiang Mai we wouldn't have known about. Highly recommend this. Informative and entertaining at the same time."
"It was simply really cool. I thank Ae for the great half-day trip, I learned so much about the local population, traditions, the city, temples, religion, and food. We had a great hike and more lunch. Thanks for the experience and your time for me. Take care Kind regards Valère "
"We had a fantastic night with Naphat tasting the local food around Chiang Mai food markets. She even gave us great insight on Thai culture and the history of Chiang Mai. She answered all our general questions about Thailand. The food was better than any of the restaurants we had in Chiang Mai. Had very original Thai flavor. So flavorful and delicious! Trust her in the food she brings to you and you won’t be disappointed! Thank you so much!!"
"The private food-tour with Sawitchaya in Chiang Mai exceeded my expectations by far. She picked the best local spots with authentic recipes, shared countless insights only a chef knows, was a wonderful host and such a great person. If you really wanna dive deep into the culinary scene of Chiang Mai like a local, this is your tour. Not just an activity, a true experience. 10/10"
"If you’re considering a bicycle tour this is the one to book! Ae is a great guide and the tour route she plans is easily attainable for any fitness level with stops along the way for rest, refreshment and lunch. She also provides so much background and history to what you’ll experience along the way. I highly recommend this tour and would do it again myself when I return to Chiang Mai! "
"This was truly a beautiful tour with an excellent guide. Ae is super kind, welcoming and a great person to explore the surroundings of Chiang Mai. The tour includes several stops and it's great to have Ae as a local by your side. You get to see a side of Chiang Mai and the area which otherwise you probably wouldn't. The ride was perfectly planned, the drive from and back to the hotel also smooth. The lunch spot had the most amazing view and Ae had so much to teach me about the area. Highly recommend this tour, you will love it! Kun Ae, khoob kun ka, tschoog dii ka! "
"We had the best time biking around Chiang Mai at night with Ae. She showed us all the important and lesser known sites, helped us get the best street food (including durian!), and did it all with a smile. We made tons of memories and are so happy we booked this tour!"
