    I had Paul take me on the tour and wow he is exceptionally knowledgeable. This was the best way to see the temples in Chiang Mai so you can understand the story and history of what you’re looking at. Paul (his English name), was so knowledgeable, courteous and I was engaged throughout. Cold water and face towel in the searing heat. Highly recommend this tour!

    Our guide, Po, spoke very good English, and told us really a lot about history of the places. He was very interested in sharing a lot of culture himself, and we really left knowing a lot about Thailand, people, culture and religion, than before. All temples were beautiful and museum visit was very interesting. This is a very good choice of tour to start exploring Chiang mai.

    We could not make it

    We could not make it to the trip because i was really sick that day, but since the guide was actually the same than from our trip to the white temple, i'm sure we would have enjoyed it a lot because he was amazing. He knew a lot about Thailand and Chiang mai culture and had lots of interesting information to offer. He not only waited for us on the hotel reception, but he even offered to let us change the date of the tour for when i was better. Unfortunately we were leaving soon so we could not accept the offer, but it was extremely considerate of them
