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!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 157 reviews

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.”
