Great Tour for an Orientation to Chiang Mai - We are an older couple who had a great trip this morning conducted by tour guide Nong. We booked the group tour and there were only four of us total.
The tour covered all the high spots – the three major Wats as well as the Chiang Mai City Arts and Cultural Center. Nong has an extensive understanding of area history and provided thorough explanations and insights as we traveled throughout the city. It was great to understand what we were seeing both in the Wats and around the town.
It was a morning well spent.

Great tour with Mr. Nong - We went on the temple and city tour with Mr. Nong. It was private tour and he picked us up with a driver from our hotel. They were polite and professional and provided cold water and towels after each stop. Mr. Nong was a wealth of knowledge and provided an excellent tour through three temples and one museum. We felt like we really got to know Chiang Mai and it’s history and the importance of Buddhism to the Thai people. Would recommend 100%.

Excellent tour with amazing guide! - I’ve been in many tours lately, and this is certainly one of the best! Transportation is really comfortable. But the highlight of the tour is Bee, the guide who offers relevant information without rushing through the sightseeings. She is calm, professional and well-informed! Definitely worth it!!

Highly recommend! - The knowledge, history and passion by our guide John throughout the tour was top notch! After getting to know us he even recommended a second excursion for a few days later that allowed us to see an entire different part of the city. The vantage point from the temples on this excursion were insane. Our driver made us feel safe. Highly recommend this tour and Touring Center for a convenient, fun and fulfilling experience.
