Driver is nice and helpful. SUV is clean and we have enjoyed the ride. The itinerary planned by ownself is general good and maybe next time to visit the tea plantation will be more fun.

it was a great experience and I recommend doing this day tour. We went to four places. The first place was Long Neck Karen Village. It’s a little pricey and there’s not much to do. However, I recommend supporting the community. The White Temple is very beautiful. There were many people there. we had lunch before going to the White Temple. the food was good and there were vegan/vegetarian options. The Blue Temple was also beautiful. It was a little crowded. The last stop was the cafe. I really liked it. It feels magical there.

The whole experience was so wonderful and we visited majestic places. I also like the buffet style of eating for our lunch and not to mentioned our tour guide Vicky is so helpful and caring, she even gave us fresh pineapples for our snack.

Thank you for a great tour! our tour guide P'Sing was very knowledgeable and was very patient. P'Sing also had great recommendation of coconut ice creams and hidden spots on how to take perfect photographs. P'Sing himself was a great photographer as he helped our family take many great photos. I would definitely recommend this tour and P'Sing as your private tour guide.

The tour was well organised, with an on-time hotel pickup. Our first stop was the hot spring, about an hour from the city, which also worked as a short rest stop. You can soak your feet in the hot stream for free, though time is limited. Next was the White Temple, which was absolutely stunning. We had enough time to explore it and take photos, though a little more time would have been nice. Lunch was a full buffet right next to the temple, with good food and variety. Instead of heading straight to the Blue Temple like most groups, our guide smartly took us to the Red Temple first, helping us avoid crowds. We went up to the Guan Lin statue, which was majestic and reminded me of Phuket’s Big Buddha. The dragon steps are must visit for photos. Lalita Café was overcrowded due to Christmas, still worth visiting for its beautiful photo spots. The Blue Temple was the final stop and truly impressive. Our guide, Kenny, was friendly and managed the tour very well. It was a day well spent.

Our tour guide was friendly and professional, and she shared a lot of informative historical background with us.
We visited many places in just one day, which made it a long schedule, but it was a truly great and rewarding experience.
