A 3-hour Chiang Mai Old City walk linking Wat Chiang Man, Wat Phra Singh, teak Wat Phan Tao, and Wat Chedi Luang with an English guide.
“John was amazing! We had a really small group of 4 but he was still presenting passion and involvement to the tour. Told us about culture, history and many local facts. I recommend this tour!”
Morning walking tour in Chiang Mai to Wat Chedi Luang, Wat Pan Tao, and Wat Phra Singh, with a guide and temple entry fees extra.
“It was a very interesting tour and it was a privilege to be guided by someone like Weerayut Toon, who shared insightful knowledge about Buddhism and his own experience as well. It was by far the most authentic tour we have taken part into, plus it had a relaxed pace, which took into account our need for moments of clarification and questions.”
Chiang Mai street food walking tour with a local guide, Hakka-style noodles, mango sticky rice, pa thong ko, markets, and low-impact credits.
“It's been a great tour discovering some otherwise hidden restaurants and food places. Interesting and delicious. Our guide G. Nom has been very kind and friendly, and she knew everything about the local restaurants and food.”
A 2.5-hour small-group walk through Chiang Mai’s old city, from Three Kings Monument to Wat Phra Singh and Wat Chedi Luang.
“We had the pleasure of having Bim as our guide, she was an absolute superstar. The tour was just 2 of us which meant we could ask questions as they popped up (Bim had all the answers!). It made it extra special knowing that Bim was of Lanna heritage, it felt like a personal guide to the history of the city - would highly recommend, loved every second. We did the 5pm tour which was perfect to avoid the heat and got to see the temples at golden hour.”
A 3-hour twilight walk through Chiang Mai’s Old City, guided temple visits at Wat Phra Singh and Wat Chedi Luang, ending at Three Kings Monument.
“Der Transport zu den Zielen wurde mittels Minivan durchgeführt. Bei den Tempeln hatte der Guide interessante Details zu erzählen und anschließend hatte man etwas Zeit für sich an den Orten herumlaufen. Dieser Teil der Tour war soweit ganz gut. Der Besuch des schwimmenden Marktes war jedoch sehr enttäuschend. Dieser machte den Eindruck allein für Touristen eingerichtet gewesen zu sein. Für das Essen dort hatte man viel zu wenig Zeit und das Essen selbst war nicht so gut. Am schlimmsten empfanden wir jedoch, dass vor Ort das Reiten von Elefanten angeboten wurde. Die Tiere machten einen erschreckend schlechten Eindruck auf uns und gaben dem ganzen einen sehr schlechten Beigeschmack.”
Pick a coast, a city, or a kind of day.
