Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Dear Sawitchaya, We already loved Chiang Mai before our tour with you, but now we love it even more. You opened the door to a very special side of Chiang Mai for us, and for that we would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. It was so much more than just a culinary adventure — it was a journey through the incredible variety of flavours and tastes of a truly special country. We would have loved to spend even more time wandering through the local markets with you, listening to your stories and explanations, and discovering one flavour sensation after another. Our time with you was incredibly enjoyable, varied and informative — and, unfortunately, far too short! Thank you so much for your time. We enjoyed every moment of it in every possible way, and we are still feeling wonderfully full! All right, just one last Miang Kham…😉 With heartfelt thanks, Juerg & Karin "
"Boy was a great guide - friendly, knowledgeable and a great communicator. We thoroughly recommend the walking tour with Boy. "
"Eddie (Kamutnadda) made our Chiang Mai experience unforgettable. He literally couldn’t do enough for us offering us as much time as we needed with extra add-ons and new experiences to suit the needs of our family. He knew the best places, the times when they were less crowded and stuff that other tourists would miss out on. He suggested great restaurants too! His English was perfect. On top of all this he’s a massive techno guy had the best camera equipment/ go pro etc and took amazing posed and candid shots of our adventures meaning that we could just sit back relax and enjoy the experience without having to take our own photos. You then downloaded everything he’d taken to our camera before we left. The photos you took are such good quality and really capture our amazing Chiang Mai adventure. Thanks Eddie! "
"Sawitchaya (May) took our family on an absolutely fantastic food tour! We tried a huge range of local dishes and May’s knowledge and passion are so inspiring. My kids loved it too. It was a rainy day and May drove us all around the city as part of the tour, which was great too. Don’t hesitate to book May for this incredible experience of Chiang Mai. "
"We had such an interesting day with May, full of Stories and information ! She and her mother are a perfect team, always caring for us. May is a very nice and adorable person, we recommend highly to book a tour with her"
"We had a wonderful day with Eddie. It was our wish to go out into the nature and also get some cultural input. Eddie brought us to a real Hiddem Gem, a temple in the mountains with a tradional pottery. Later the day we visited a tradional Lanna Temple and went to a coffee plantation. No other tourists anywhere around, authentic Thai life. Eddie was super friendly and felt always responsible to fully match our wishes. "
"May was great and super knowledgeable about traditional Thai cuisine. We tried lots of different types of northern Thai dishes that we otherwise wouldn’t have known about. Then we ended the day at the locals market where we sampled different fruits, desserts, and meats. It was a really fun afternoon. I highly recommend!"
"May was such a kind and thoughtful tour guide for our street food tour. We packed so much in to the three hours, but it was well paced and apart from all the delicous food we ate, we also visited a temple and participated in some cultural activities. May's husband drove us around and even dropped us back at our hotel at the end of the tour. We visited May's favourite restaurant that she has been visiting since a girl, and it was a delicious, and very local experience. She was great with our two kids and we learnt so much about Chiang Mai! If you are looking to do a street food tour in Chiang Mai, don't hesitate to book May - she is fabulous! "
"Richard was absolutely amazing. I was by myself exploring Chiang Mai and I booked Richard for a local tour. I had no specific itinerary in mind and completely left it to Richard to plan the day which he did flawlessly. From temple visits, historical implications to finding the perfect vegan restaurant for a meal and shopping stops for natural oils and soaps and perfumes, Richard made sure I had a wonderful day. I mentioned I might like to get a massage at the end of the day and he went ahead and booked an appointment at the best place in town and just had a wonderful time. No language barriers either as Richard speaks perfect English too! Highly recommend him for your bookings."
" We really enjoyed being with Uthaiwan and listening to the stories she told tell us. We did an evening around Chiangmai city with her. Her knowledge allows the program to adapts to your own interests, She is such a lovely person and there’s something about her that makes people at ease. It was really a pleasure being introduced to Chiangmai by her and our family I will remember Chiangmai along with her smile 😊"
