Chiang Mai: Golden Doi Suthep & Hilltribe Cultural Immersion

We were the only two people on this tour so had a very personal experience, we found our tour guide Tian wonderful, very informative & also interested in the differences between our country Australia compared to Thailand. All in all a very good day.

Oom was fantastic, very friendly and informative. She knew everything about the hilltribe and temple and even taught us some Thai between stops! I would highly recommend this tour

Did this trip yesterday and we had a great time, our tour guide was perfect couldn't get a better guide. The driver was excellent and very polite. Tour guide English skills were perfect, she was so informative not avoiding any questions, never rushing us. and a great sense of humour. I would recommend this tour for anyone.

After a lovely trip up the mountain, we came to this small golden temple. Although crowded, it was well worth it.There are countless Buddhas surrounding the main tower. Unfortunately, the view was clouded over with smog, but the whole place is worth seeing.

Perfect location on top of Ching Mai. Visiting hill tribe is good too.. Stop on your way back in Zoo to complete the perfect day.

Interesting and very enjoyable tour. Franky our guide had a good caring rapport with the hill tribe. Very informative and relaxed which made it a memorable experience. We would recommend.

A relatively good half day trip to see one of the most visited temples in Thailand. The climb up the stairs is a good work out, taking the cable up or down is also an option (please note that there can be a bit of a wait for the cable cars). Guide was very informative and the driver (Journey Smile tours) was great in negotiating the drive up and picking up/dropping off guest o their respective hotels.

This tour started off badly as my partner had hurt her back the day before. Franky, our guide came to pick us up but I told him about my partner, so what he did was to take us to the hospital, and waited until she got an appointment, before taking me on the tour. We then went on the long drive on the winding roads up the mountains, 2000m above sea level, until we reached the top, unfortunately no one told me about how cold it would be when we got to the top.............. After meeting the hilltribe at the top, we then proceeded back down, and headed to the Wat Doi Suthep Temple, which included climbing 306 steps. My guide was by my side throughout this, telling me this history of everything here, even taking pictures for me and TRYING to get me to try friend worms (No chance) He could see that my mind was preoccupied with my partner not being there, so he called the hospital for me to check she was ok and even offered to collect her on the way back to the hotel Thanks Franky for being an amazing guide!

<p>Great morning, guide terrific and was so obliging re taking our photo. Visit to alternative tribe was so enjoyable and home grown coffee has to be experienced- highly recommend</p>

<p>Our tour and guide were excellent! We started with the Hilltribe Village, and rather than taking us to the one with tons of tourists, he took us further up the mountain to a village that felt largely untouched. Very few tourists, and such an interesting visit. The Temple was just perfect as well. The right amount of time at both, and a wonderful Chiang Mai tour. Thank you!</p>
