We had a lovely tour with Jane who was the sweetest. Very educational and taught us about the history of the temple, Chiang Mai and buddhism. Very beautiful, both temple and views and I would definitely recommend it!
Our guide Jane is the sweetest person and was very kind to us. She gave us a lot of information about the history and was kind enough to took photos for us. Would definitely recommend going to tour with her!
We booked this tour with short advance but everything went absolutely fine! Nancy, our guide, was amazing! She explained us a lot of things about the Temple, Chiang Mai and Thailand as well. We suggest this tour to everyone, it really worths!
An excellent tour with everything very well organized. Our guide was JANE, who explained everything perfectly. Jane brought us closer to Buddhist culture and religion by telling us the secrets of how the temple was built and answering every single question we had. Thank you for the fantastic experience we had, JANE!
Jane was an amazing guide, and it was a beautiful temple. I definitely recommend going.
Such a marvelous experience with Jane. Explains everything with passion and transports you to the history of Thailand’s history.
Jane was a top guide! Very many information, very helpful and caring! Thank you very much!
Saman was a very good guide and I was the only one in the group, so I had all of his attention.
Our guide has been Nancy, an excellent professional and a fantastic person. All the explanations she told us have been very interesting and helpful to understand better the amazing Thailand’s culture. We are very happy, her english is really good and she has been really nice. We absolutely recommend this excursion.
Very good expérience with Saman as guide. I recommand him 100%, he is a good man.
Excellent guide ! Joyful, happy, he’s so adorable and explains very well !
It’s a good guide Saman for the visit I recommande
I had an amazing time, all thanks to Saman. He is an outstanding guide who is clearly passionate about his work. His explanations of the sights were incredibly clear, engaging, and deeply informative. He answered all my questions effortlessly and made the whole experience both educational and fun. If you want a guide who truly goes above and beyond, book with Saman!
My tour guide was Nancy she was very helpful and gave great information. She explained the culture in great detail and told beautiful stories. Loved this experience thank you Nancy 🙏
What an amazing trip! Guide Emmie was fantastic, very knowledgeable, kind and engaging. Would recommend 1000%!
Nancy was awesome! So informative and excellent with the kids. The tour was very well organised, it was a great novelty to ride in the red truck and we learnt so much. We would highly recommend this tour for families looking for a fun afternoon out.
An amazing experience that should not missed. All are welcome. Very informative and detail history. The view from the top was amazing to see. Lots of detail history.
We had a wonderful experience on this tour! Our guide was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and—perhaps most impressively—patient with our very energetic (read: absolutely feral in the most lovable way) 3-year-old. They never made us feel rushed or stressed, and instead adapted seamlessly so we could all enjoy the experience. The temple was beautiful, the pacing was perfect, and the whole afternoon felt relaxed and thoughtfully organized. Highly recommend for families, especially if your child believes they are the main character at all times.
Tu was a great guide and took real pride in showing me around Doi Suthep. The trip was very well organised and Tu personalised the experience towards my interests. Highly recommend
It gives a perfect introduction to Buddhist culture in a stunning location. Pick up from hotel could have been more flexible. Travel to pick up point not ideal. Our guide Zack was excellent - happy to answer questions and enhance the experience.
Amy our guide was fantastic! We for about an hour and spent another hour on site. The temple itself Is special and can attract large crowds. The view of the city is beautiful and there is a small market nearby to buy souvenirs and other trinkets.
Our tour guide Jane was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable and accommodating. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting the temple, specifically with Jane.
Wonderful tour with guide Jane. She is very kind and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend her (and she is really good with taking pictures!)
It was a very wonderful experience. I was able to get a tour in a short time and take lots of photos and videos ✨ He also gave a detailed explanation about Buddha. Thank you, Nancy(*˘ᗜ˘*).。.:*♡ Nancy was a very kind guide ♪
We provided a pleasant tour experience by offering ample time.
A temple absolutely worth seeing. Consider that to get to the temple it is necessary to climb about 300 (three hundred) steps. I don't know if there is another way. Our guide was super precise in explaining the whole history of the temple and some very nice anecdotes. The only not-so-positive note was the round trip to the temple, which is done with the usual red van (typical of Thailand) that, however, in our case, was emitting absurd smoke that almost intoxicated us. Aside from this, truly an excursion to do.
The temple is worth visiting
Our guide Jane was fantastic, pleasant, and very knowledgeable. She explained everything to us carefully and even took some nice photos of us!
Beautiful tour of the temple with Jane, our very kind and pleasant local guide, who taught us a lot about the Buddhist religion and the origin of the temple. Unfortunately, visit a little too short in my opinion. An extra hour would have been appreciated to make the most of the place which is magical.
Nancy was great and explained everything precisely. She accompanied us to visit the temple and was very kind to us. She is the best guide we have had in Thailand so far.
Excellent tour in the company of Nancy, a smiling, accommodating guide and a well of information Highly recommended
Super interesting tour with Mister Saman😊
Very friendly guide, gives a lot of explanation, knows a lot about Buddhism. Very involved with the kids. Offers to take pictures. Right on time. Highly recommended!
Superb visit to the Doi Suthep temple at the end of the day. Saman is a very pleasant and friendly guide who took the time to explain all the secrets of this wonderful place to me. I highly recommend it!
Beautiful site and our guide Nancy was very caring for us and told us the Thai story! Very very interesting I fully recommend
Angry old dirty car. The problem was that the guide’s accent in English meant that we didn’t understand more than a fraction of what was said. The fact that our English is far from correct (+ noise and being from elsewhere) made it just tiresome and we stopped listening. Here we probably have to take on 50/50 that it did not click. The experience at the top was still worth the small cost of the tour.
Exciting tour on the Doi Sutep. The guide (Mr. Saman Duangkham) was absolutely courteous and helped and with the two children. He told us a lot about the temple and its history. It was an exciting afternoon.
An experience that I definitely recommend if I have a time in Chiang Mai, super friendly guide, explained to me a lot about the local culture that I did not know and about the history of that temple, still gave me a toast at the end.
Beautiful visit, the guide was very experienced and cute, I really liked especially the temple part in the jungle. However, it was not possible to see the sunrise because it was cloudy, but the view was still beautiful
The excursion was very nice and interesting. The super nice and fun guide. Super recommended to everyone
It's worth it! Guide Jane is super friendly. The temple is beautiful. You travel with tuk tuk. An interesting experience. It all took 3h30 walk
