Tui is an excellent tour guide. He explained the details of both temples very well. The lunch that he ordered for the group was excellent, even our German friends enjoyed them. The boat cruise in the golden triangle was nice indeed. The complimentary coffee at an open air cafe gave it a finishing touch.

Our guide Minty was extremely professional, accommodating, and knowledgeable. She picked us up from the airport and dropped us off after the tour, as we were only in Chiang Mai for the tour. She came prepared with snacks and provided us great information on the locals, history, and customs. We really enjoyed our time and highly recommend this tour to others.

Mr Tui was our guide for the day and looked after us very well. He was a very knowledgeable man and eager to please us. His English was also very easy to understand. The trip itself was great. It’s a long day but the minivan was exceptionally comfortable- much more so than any other trips we’ve done in Thailand. Despite the length, the stops were well planned. The white temple was a highlight of course but we also enjoyed the boat trip and the opium museum too. The set lunch was the best we’ve had in Thailand. A really good day!

Great tour company highly recommend it. Small groups, very clean van, good driver who looked after us regarding cold water cool towels, opening doors etc. It started earlier than the other tour companies so we had the stops all to our selves. Tour guide is a hoot. The day was totally packed. Lunch was amazing. The Mekong boat ride was very informative and I did not dream we would go to the border. The old city way we visited was very traditional. There are not enough hours in the day or we could have had more time at the white temple. You get what you pay for.
