Amazing - The tour was an amazing experience. Temples are beautiful and absolutely worth the drive. Ruby was a great guide, we learned a lot about Thailand culture and about the places we visited thanks to all the information she shared with us :)

Great day trip to Chiang... - Great day trip to Chiang Rai! If you like temples it definitely is a day for you, temples galore! Our guide Nao was very kind and had so much information, tips and knowledge to share with us. Although it is a very long day I would very much recommend it!

Excellent trip, beautiful temples - This was a perfect trip from Chiang Mai. It was 13 hour day but well worth it. We love the temples. They were so beautiful and the stops along the way we’re very informative. Our tour guide gave us so much information. She really knows a lot about Thailand of course because she lives here. Her English was perfect. My partner had a birthday and we mentioned it to her and she bought him a hat at the white temple, and it was signed by the designer of the hat that was such a pleasant surprise.

What an amazing tour! - Absolutely loved this tour! Ruby was our guide and she was awesome!! Funny, knowledgeable, communicated very clearly and explained everything. The temples are breathtaking like something our of this world If you are staying in Chiang Mai and what to visit these 3 temples I recommend booking this tour! Otherwise doing it by yourself takes way more time

Excellent. - Great walk. Since there are many stops, the time in each is very running, not giving time to visit everything, especially in the temples. Excellent experience.

Worth going - The White Temple is amazing, the Blue Temple is worth seeing. The ethnic village with Karen Longneck women was important for the kids to see. It is better to go as a private tour, takes less time, but the guide provided almost zero information on history and culture, so lower your expectations and read all the information online by yourself.

Good but not great - Organized well in terms of movements but I expected he the guide would also explain the various temples. We were left to our own devices

I've done a similar tour... - I've done a similar tour about 14 years ago and while that experience was amazing, the temples now are so much more commercialized now. The White Temple while still gorgeous on the outside and worth the view, within and in surrounding perimeter it felt like added touches of Disneyland within which took away from the overall temple vibe that we were going for. The Blue Temple was our favorite.

Must-see tours in the area, even if you have to do many kilometers. - Must-see your trip in Chiang Mai, but it has become an attraction for tourists in one of the cases.
