Fantastic! - We loved everything about this trip. The experience of driving in a Tuk Tuk to places with few or no tourists. The area of Mae Nam is very beautiful and green. Lots of farming in this area. The waterfall, the temple ofcourse the elephants and the bamboo rafting to finish things of..it was all fantastic! Our guide was Naam. She is very easygoing, funny and very informative about everything we passed along the way and the activities. This tour is one of the best experiences we have had!

Must do! - Our best day included pickup and drop off at our hotel. We were picked up in a luxury comfortable van by Leo and Nahm. Leo was the a driver and Nahm was a guide and Tuk Tuk driver. Travel to the Mae Wang district gave us a chance to get to know Nahm and Leo. Lots of laughs! Nahm is a fun person to spend the day with- her enthusiasm and experience is great. We appreciated all the information. Nahm went out of her way to meet our dietary concerns. Lunch was delicious and perfect! The Tuk Tuk was well equipped and clean. The Mae Want district is beautiful and we are so happy we chose to do this. Our best day so far! I highly recommend The Tuk Tuk Club!

Best Part of our Honeymoon - This was the best experience of our entire trip to Thailand. Everything about this day was set up perfectly. The Tuk Tuk Club made us feel safe when learning to drive the Tuk Tuk, going through the town to get to the temple, visiting the elephants and bamboo rafting. It was a MUST DO experience when in Chiang Mai. Top customer and quality service.

What a lovely experience! - What an adventure! It started already with OA! What a nice, patience, polite, friendly and funny guide! We loved every minute of it. Driving the TukTuk ourselves was fantastic! Feeding the elephants, walking with them in the moussonrain and bathing with the elephants are wonderful memories . We loved seeing the countryside and especially the Forest Temple. The bamboo rafting was chill. And the coffee and dragonflys 🙈 at the end of our trip were a wonderful surprise. Tuk Tuk Club and OA, we got to see a part of Thailand in a way we didn’y expected. Thank you for this experience!

Amazing day of adventures in a tuk tuk - From the very start we knew this was going to be an amazing experience. Communication from the UK with Bruce was quick, informative and you could just sense that he had a passion for what he does. The TukTuk Club is something that everyone should experience if staying in Chiang Mai. While the old city is lovely, be sure to venture out into the countryside with Bruce's team of locals where you'll experience memories you'll never forget...from the back of a comfy tuk tuk! The TukTuks Bruce uses are different to those used in the city. You can see much more from them and they are much more comfortable. We chose to be driven rather than do self-drive which enabled us to take in more of our surroundings and make the most of our day. Also doing the chauffeur driven tour ensures you have your very own “guide” to take you around the different activities. Our wonderful guides - Oa and Milk - excelled in making sure we were comfortable and happy with the plans for the day. They were extremely knowledgeable and answered all our questions about local culture and elephants! We got to see life in the countryside and learned the differences between rural and city temples as well as the life of monks. We had opportunities to buy from roadside sellers and had a lovely lunch (supplied by the club) at the foot of a beautiful waterfall. The chance to spend some time learning about the plight of the Asian elephant at a rescue centre was really rewarding and we had great fun, first feeding the elephants, and then walking them down to the nearby river for a well-earned bath. They love the water and it was a joy to watch them rolling around getting a good soak!!! We finished the afternoon with a trip on a bamboo raft – mostly relaxing but interspersed with a few exciting (but safe) moments. The whole day was thoroughly enjoyable and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it as a definite “must do” when visiting Chaing Mai.

AMAZING - This is the ABSOLUTE best tour I have ever been on. Yaya and Big our tour leaders were phenomenal. They truly enjoy their work and it is evident in their knowledge and professionalism. They have a great sense of humor too, which always adds so much value to a tour. They took care to make sure we were always safe and enjoying ourselves. The elephants were the highlight of the tour and you could tell they loved the elephants as part of their own family. I will definitely recommend this tour. Also, Bruce the owner of the company was so nice and helpful with his correspondence. Top notch tour company!!!!

Absolutely fantastic, great for families - Just finished a great day out. Everything was extremely well organised from the moment of booking all the way through to being dropped off at our hotel. We were a family of 4, two kids aged 9 and 11. Easily the best day we have had in Thailand after 10 visits. The freedom to explore, the little stops along the way to try local fruit and snacks, the knowledge and smiles from Boyce and Win. It was exactly as Bruce and the website advertised, just better. I am now thinking ahead to a multi day tour and driving myself. Cannot recommend this experience, company and its people enough.

A Real Taste of Northern Thailand - Bruce and Ya ya were amazing and had so much knowledge to share! My friend and I did tow days of guided tours and I am so glad that we did. Everything was planned for us and it was amazing. We were able to bathe with the elephants, ride a raft, see amazing temples, and meet locals who were thrilled to share their lives with us. Because I live and teach in Bangkok, I am already planning what I want to do with The Tuk Tuk company the next time I'm in Northern Thailand. I plan on recommending this tour to all of my colleagues and friends.
