"We had the pleasure of spending 3 hours visiting a variety of temples, sites and markets around Chiang Mai's old city.
Minty is a wonderful guide and easily accommodated when a sudden rain storm hit where she took us to the Chiang Mai Museum until the rain passed.
Minty had a fantastic local knowledge and gave us some hints and tips for visiting Chiang Mai's other areas.
We thoroughly recommend Minty when you are in Chiang Mai for a friendly local who can show you the city sights."
"Ae was a wonderful guide and I am so glad we booked her tour. We were able to see so much more of Chaing Mai by bike and part of the magic were the side streets and different neighborhoods of the city. Our tour had sprinkles of food tour, history, and Thai way of life sprinkled in - great for our family, 2 adults and 2 children ages 11 and 13. "

Wonderful afternoon in Chiang Mai
"We had a wonderful afternoon with Boy exploring all of the local Chiang Mai gems - we went to many beautiful temples, had some delicious local food, and learned a lot from Boy - you can definitely tell he is passionate about his home, and we were glad to spend 4 hours seeing such a warm and welcoming city. Highly recommend this tour if you are seeing Chiang Mai for the first time. "

Friendly, knowledgeable host
"Boy was a wonderful, knowledgeable host! He showed up on time and shared his knowledge of the city, culture, and much more!
The pace of the tour and the amount of things we saw was amazing! I did the tour my first full day in town, and it was wonderful way to get oriented to the city. He also gave some tips- where to get food, drink, massage.
He is lgbtq-friendly. Overall, great host! Would definitely recommend. "

Great way to see the city
"‘Boy’ delivered a great three hour tour of the city, introducing me to some history, some culture, and some delicious Thai food and drinks I would not have tried on my own. He also showed me a couple of cool ways to use the camera on my phone. The experience was worth its weight in gold. I’m only sorry I could not have stayed longer!"

What a wonderful night
"We had a wonderful evening with Ann. It was very interesting and we got to learn so many interesting things about Chiang Mai, but also about other parts of Thailand. Ann gave us so many great recommendations and we were able to try so many great new things.
We felt very comfortable with Ann and it was a great tour throughout. The next time we are in Chiang Mai we will definitely book another tour with Ann."

Lovely introduction to chiang Mai
"If you have never been here, this is a great way to see the old city
‘Boy’ is very interesting and friendly guide who has a passion for his town
The walk was done at a nice pace and also with a Thai tea and snack along the way
Ladies should take a cover for shoulders in temples , not a problem if not got one as they do hire for a very small fee"
