We decided to head to the boxing ring directly ourselves - good thing we did otherwise we would have missed the match! Tickets were for basic seats on plastic chairs, but was still an enjoyable experience all things considered”

Review of Chiang Mai’s private tuk tuk tour, covering temples, gates, markets, price, guides, shopping stops, pickup, and key drawbacks.

“The tour is good for getting to know the city on a tuk-tuk. They should use modern tuk-tuk cars. I think they make too many visits to jewelry stores. Otherwise, it's good so you don't have to walk long distances.”

“Fahrer, Fahrzeug und Guide sehr gut. Kommunikation mit dem Mitarbeitern von Trip Guru katastrophal. 1. Der wir haben ursprünglich einen deutschsprachigen guide gebucht. Dieser wurde 48 Std. vorher storniert. Alternativ rückerstattung oder englischer guide. Englisch war unsere Wahl. Bei Abholung hat mir trip Guru erklärt, dass mein programmwunsch für eine private Tagesordnung nicht machbar sei. OBWOHL ich due schriftliche Bestätigung erhalten habe. Nach 15 Minuten Diskussion mit guide und Agentur ging die Tour los. Letztlich war alles ok aber diese Diskussion ist völlig überflüssig und kein guter Service”
