5.00We had the chance to have GOBI as a guide who was perfect… Knowledgeable, helpful, not pressing us and we see two temples différents but very interesting. We highly appreciate and recommend this tour (with this guide)

5.00We had an outstanding trip with our wonderful guide Noom - it was so much more than just a tour but a cultural experience, where we got to learn about the history, culture and heritage of the people of Northern Thailand. Noom was a fountain of knowledge and delight to chat to about so many aspects of life, plus a great insight into supers spots to eat, shop and engage with Chaing Mai!

5.00I had a great time on this tour! Noom is very friendly and knows a lot about the temples and the city. He explained everything clearly and gave good local tips. At the beginning, I choose to take the stairs instead if the elevator. I definitely recommand it for the experience, even with the heat 🙂 The driver was also very kind. Thank you !
Perfect in every way 👍🏻

Private Doi Suthep and Palad Temple tours

5.00We booked a private tour for The Doi Suthep and Palad Temples in Chiang Mai with AP Good Travel via Trip Advisor. Our private guide, Noom, was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Chiang Mai, Buddhism and the influences of other religions on the region, architecture and culture. Having a private guide was the perfect way to get a customized experience for this tour. Noom taught us how to honor the Buddha and get blessed by a monk at Doi Suthep. That was a very special experience. I highly recommend Noom as a private tour guide!

5.00Noom is an absolute gem of a guide. He made the tour both educational and hilarious, his insights are top-notch and his energy is contagious. Don't hesitate to book with him, you won't regret it!

5.00Found this great tour company through my hotel concierge. I had struggled finding private tour companies that would take a solo traveler out believe it or not. Nui was fantastic and the driver Tom was safe and careful. Because he had also been a Buddhist monk, Nui absolutely knew so much about the religion and even helped me get blessed by a monk which was a highlight of my trip. I highly recommend this tour company to anyone wishing a more tailored, personal experience. English was fantastic and we also visited a jade factory.
All questions answered. 😁

5.00Gobi was great and very knowledgeable giving us all the details of the history and meaning of temples and Chiang Mai with so much patience. Definitely worth it to do this tour while in Chiang Mai. The tour is on a very comfortable van with plenty of cold water and AC.
What fun and beauty

5.00The tours offered by all good travel are great and can be adjusted as desired. We took this half day but also added the Hmong tribe. Gobi helps you meet people because he has a natural empathy. And the minivan is nice with water on demand.
