There was a ‘money tree’ festival at Wat Pha Lat on the day we visited. Art made sure we were provided with food available in the temple grounds and a songthiew to take us back to our transport. I very much enjoyed the morning. Art was very professional and made sure we had a great experience. Thank you.”

See three of Chiang Mai’s finest temples, from ruined Chedi Luang to peaceful Wat Pha Lat, with transport, guide, and views included.

“I would give this tour 4.5 stars, if I could. Overall it is really great - our guide Sarah was so nice, super knowledgable, and always willing to take photos of us. The temples are all very different and beautiful in their own way. If I had to give any criticism, I would say there is way too much time at the first one (wat chedi luang) and not enough time at Wat Doi Suthep. This one is huge and there is so much to see and I feel like I kind of rushed through it. Otherwise though, it's an awesome tour and you should not hesitate to book it!”

“Overall the basics for the tour were good BUT we arrived and there were swarms of moths like thousands. I wish we were notified ahead of time so we could have brought mask or perhaps keep my mother behind. This really made the tour not good for our group this evening. Sad because it’s our last evening & really wanted to spend time enjoying the temple & overlooking the city & taking professional photos. But the moths were in our eyes and it was awful. Apparently, this happens after a daytime rainstorm (tour was in the evening) so be weary of that. The guide was such a sweetheart & the…”

“The tour was very good, the timing was also excellent because we have the right time to cherish each spot. The only bad thing was a couple who didn’t respect the scheduled, which forced us to wait for them before leaving. This has nothing to do with the tour, but please be respectful of other’s time too and don’t make us waste time waiting for you”
