Danny was an awesome guide!! Him and the drivers have a great sense of humour, very knowledgeable about all the temples and even gave us some Durian Sticky Rice to try out during the buffet! The entire tour was pretty good. Due to rain and traffic, we were slightly late to everything and some of the itinerary had to be changed because of it. But Danny made sure we saw everything and even took some amazing shots of everyone!! Highly recommend!

A wonderfully organized trip. All information regarding departure, return, and duration of the excursion was provided accurately, within a margin of +- 15-30 minutes. Our guide, Denny, kept everything under control and strived to present the information in an accessible, simple manner. The tour was very interesting and covered everything of note in the area.

The minibus in the back seats up to 8 passengers and features spacious and comfortable seating, along with bottled water and cooling towels. Although the drive is quite long, the trip is well worth it to see the magnificence of the White Temple, the understated tranquility of the Blue Temple, and the artistic creations and collections at the Black House Museum. On the way, we stopped at Chiang Rai Hot Spring, which served as both a rest stop and a place to soak our feet while enjoying our first coffee of the morning. Our guide, P'SING, was very professional, explaining the unique features of each attraction, including the best photo angles and special stories. He was also very thoughtful and took group photos for each of us, leaving me and my friends with unforgettable memories! I highly recommend this to anyone traveling to Chiang Mai. You can easily arrange a day trip by car – it's definitely worth it! 👍

Amazing experience and definitely worth it. Tour operator and guide was very responsive. The guide Pa-Kin even gave a post card at the end of our trip. Pa-Kin was a great great guide. And yes, would definitely book again with them.

Our guide, P'sing, was excellent! He helped us avoid the large tour bus crowds and took many fantastic photos for us. While it was a little unfortunate that we couldn't spend more time at each attraction due to the distances, the guide shared many interesting facts and provided key highlights, ensuring we didn't miss anything important to see or photograph! On the way from the Blue Temple to the Black House, a person from another company's tour group opened their car door without looking, causing a minor collision with our vehicle. We thought it would take a long time to resolve, but the driver and guide handled the situation well. They arranged for us to join another tour group from the same company to head to the next destination. Although it caused a delay of about 20 minutes, thankfully we still had some time to explore.

Such a great trip! All the temples are stunning and we even got the opportunity visit the Red temple since it's so close to Lalita Cafe. It was a very long day though and the ride was very bumpy due to all the road work in the area. But overall an amazing time.
