Such an awesome experience to know about the real life of tribe people and the north Thailand nature. Our guide is so nice and good photographer. He told us a lot about the local culture and the tribe people.

As part of our family trip to Thailand we wanted to experience a little more than just the standard touristic attractions Thailand is famous for. This tour promised and delivered in full exactly what we were looking for - a chance to see first hand life at a remote village, meeting people, visiting places and doing things we could never do back home. Our guide, the driver and co-guide were wonderful. Living conditions were challenging at times, but we were prepared and knew what we were getting into. All along the way from the initial contact and correspondence until we said goodbye we encountered a professional, pleasant and dedicated conduct. Definitely one of the most memorable highlights of the trip!

Our day visiting the Hill Tribe villages was the highlight of our trip to Chiang Mai. There were 10 people in our family varying in age from late 80s to 9 years old, and every one of us felt this was a valuable, authentic, and amazing tour. Our goal was to visit the Hill Tribes in the most authentic way possible, and from the moment we were picked up, it was clear that was the motto of our guides. The relationships they had with the villagers, teachers at the school, and various people we met along the way made our visit unique and special. A photographer took photos of our day, and shared them with us at the end of our journey. We loved every minute and would count it as a MUST DO!!!

Excellent experience with a wonderful, knowledgeable guide. There were only three of us so it was almost a private tour. Everything was worth the time... from the hot springs, the white temple, opium museum, seeing the three countries at once, the hill tribes and long neck women, as well as a the relaxing lunch. Driver and guide took great care of us: cold water, rest stops and explaining everything. When the guide can answer our questions besides the main information they plan to tell everyone you get your money's worth.

Loved visiting Chiang Rai! I have wanted to see the White Temple for years and it did not disappoint. What a sight! There were many other interesting things to see and visit in the area. Thoroughly enjoyed the Hill Tribes, Emerald Buddha, Black Museum, and Opium Museum. It was nice having the opportunity to spend the night so we were not rushed. Our guide did a terrific job sharing the highlights of the area with us.
