Chiang Mai Local culture Tour Reviews
Guest reviews from travelers on Local culture tours in and around Chiang Mai
Byron W. | Traveled in April
We have just returned after 15 days through four destinations in Southeast Asia. The travel team organized the trip perfectly. We visited most of the highlight attractions. The culture, history, and cuisine in all four countries were rich and diverse. I was especially impressed by the Vietnamese food and the temples in Thailand. I hope we will have more time to explore Cambodia and Laos in the future. We will definitely choose this team again for our next adventure in Southeast Asia. Highly recommended.
Nuria P. | Traveled in November
Traveling with the team made our multi-country trip stress-free and enjoyable. The itinerary was well-planned with sightseeing, local activities, and free time. We especially liked the mix of big cities and quiet, scenic spots. My travel consultant, Emilia was always quick to respond to any questions, and the whole experience felt very personal. If you book with them ask for her.
Anika Golm | Traveled in November
I loved the tour with Peanut and Butter. Those two guided us the whole tour, but they also were friends. We could come to them with every problem and they helped us. They showed us the most beautiful places of the north and were funny. My highlights were definitely the elephant sanctuary and the waterpark. I felt very safe with both of them and never had to worry about something. Even when i skipped an adventure they asked me for my plans and if everything is okay. Would do it anytime again.
Anonymous | Traveled in November
Peanut was the perfect tour guide! He really made the trip the best two weeks ever! The activities were so much fun and Peanut had lots of knowledge about the areas too! I cannot recommend this tour enough, you’ll have a great time! I am really going to miss Peanut and the friends I made along the way 🤍
Amy Thackeray | Traveled in November
