Amazing forest guide! - Very informative and friendly tour guide! It was interesting to talk to him and ask him questions about his life in Chiang Mai. He is very knowledgeable about the forest and the native plant life! No complaints at all, great experience overall.

Very informative - The tour was easy to understand with the lovely guide Jane, explaining everything about the temples very well. We were given free time to walk and look at what we were interested in many times throughout the trip and finished off the tour with a lovely hike through the forest. Would recommend
