5.00The experience was beautiful, we met super cute temples and with the guide willing to explain and stop at every detail! There were no stop traps to buy souvenirs or the exploitation of any animal under the name of the cultural. Super recommended.
Crowded temples, black house nice surprise

3.00A bit challenging from the point of view of transfer (at least 3h to get to chiang rai) and extremely crowded temples, maybe going back I would have stayed in chiang rai to get there very early in the morning, but this does not depend on the tour operator. The guide was extremely kind and provided us with useful information, appropriate time to visit the temples, even abundant. Perhaps skippable blue temple, nice surprise instead the Black House, very interesting as an exhibition space of contemporary art.
