Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Fabulous tour with Kit. He is an absolute delight to be with and his knowledge and experience of Buddhism is outstanding. To experience the Monks rituals before the crowds arrived was an experience to be treasured. Sunrise was beautiful and to also visit the enchanting woodland temple was an honour. Kit is very easy to chat to and answers all questions expertly. Amazing tour that we would recommend if you want a deeper insight in to the lives of the monks."
"Our sunrise tour with Kit is a major highlight of my trip to Thailand. Great communication with Kit prior to the tour. He was punctual and so knowledgeable. He made our trip to the temples, monk morning alms and hike to waterfalls fantastic. So many great conversation throughout our time with Kit. Highly recommend this tour with Kit."
"Our guide, Kit, was knowledgeable, patient and very kind. We had a wonderful time on our early morning temple tour and we learned a lot. It was absolutely worth it!"
"What’s the best way to experience real Thai countryside? Bike through rice fields, villages and craftsman with your guide Ae. We did a trip this afternoon and enjoyed an incredible slice of Thai life outside of Chiang Mai. Ae was a wonderful guide and really knowledgeable. It was amazing finding all these quiet lanes and roads to steer your way through the beautiful scenery and people. "
"What a great day exploring the out skirts of Chiang Mai and seeing authentic Thai village life. Meeting local people, seeing community businesses and riding through rice fields - what a real treat. The bikes means so much more is accessible than going by car. Thank you Ae for such an amazing day! "
"Ae was an INCREDIBLE guide. We had the best time cycling around the countryside with her - with multiple well-timed stops i including delicious coconut icecream, lunch, and coffee (plus impromptu meet and greet with ostriches!) We felt very safe and well looked after all throughout the tour. Thanks so much for a priceless experience, Ae! :) If you are thinking about booking this, please do it (coming from someone who did a LOT of research to figure out the best way to spend her time in CM)! "
"The morning we spent with Kit was truly amazing! We loved every bit of it. He was so patient, knowledgeable, thoughtful and informative. We learned so much about Buddhism and the history of Chiang Mai (and some of its many temples). While we didn’t get a sensational sunrise view, it was a truly wonderful experience. Visiting the forest temple is still probably by favorite part of my entire 2.5 week trip! What a magical place to get the opportunity to experience. Thank you, Kit, for a truly remarkable adventure! I would encourage anyone to spend time with him! 😊🙏🏻 "
"Ae was a terrific guide providing our group of 4 with insight into the daily life of Thai people. The bike ride through the countryside gave us a different perspective of life outside the hustle and bustle of the city. The ride is flat and pace easy going. Pedaling through the rice fields and villages was fun. We highly recommend this tour with Ae. "
"Kit was an amazing guide with a lot of knowledge, had great stories and showed us the beautiful sites! "
"Our whole family had such a wonderful day with Kit. We really enjoyed his company and stories, and learned a lot about Buddhism and the temples we visited. He's been one of the best tour guides we've had."
