Wonderful afternoon in Chiang Mai

We had a wonderful afternoon with Boy exploring all of the local Chiang Mai gems - we went to many beautiful temples, had some delicious local food, and learned a lot from Boy - you can definitely tell he is passionate about his home, and we were glad to spend 4 hours seeing such a warm and welcoming city. Highly recommend this tour if you are seeing Chiang Mai for the first time.

Great way to see the city

‘Boy’ delivered a great three hour tour of the city, introducing me to some history, some culture, and some delicious Thai food and drinks I would not have tried on my own. He also showed me a couple of cool ways to use the camera on my phone. The experience was worth its weight in gold. I’m only sorry I could not have stayed longer!
