This was a great private tour experience. Bird was so kind, explaining every detail, taking a lot of pictures and answering all our questions. He always had cold water for us and the car ready.

Really good day out. Our guide Nop was brilliant and very informative. He looked after us and went through the history of the sites we went to. The palaces were amazing.
Had a great time in a private group of 10…. expect a long ride back and foward but it is worth it. Austin our guide was excelent
Austin was an absolute delight to spend the day with, he was flexible on the pick up time also which helped a lot. We had a day visiting Chiang Rai from our location in Chiang Mai and although on paper it seemed like a very long day the time flew by. We visited many temples and sights and Austin was knowledgeable in all aspects. He also took us to a lovely riverside restaurant for lunch which was delicious. All in all a very good day was had with the safe and patient Austin.
We had a great day with our guide Austin. He was very knowledgeable about the area and culture. He knew exactly which parts of the tour were most crowded at what times. The private bus was very comfortable and made the whole journey relaxing and stressfree
English if great, comfy van with wifi, very knowledgeable guide! I would book again when I'm the north of Thailand! Private tour and Austin will drive as far as Bangkok!
Austin was a fantastic guide for us. We had a long drive in both directions and he was safe and professional. We enjoyed listening to his descriptions of the various temples. We would definitely recommend him and use him in the future
It was very nice to see all the temples, and our driver Austin made it to be so pleasant and welcoming, he is a excellent driver and the main thing he is a excellent person, he helps us getting what we need it, it was really a pleasure to have Austin we feel like we were family.
Austin was a great tour guide! One of the best tour guides we’ve had in our many travels. He was very friendly, kind and easy to communicate with. We had my elderly mother with us and he was very considerate with her care and that made such a difference in our tour. He had so much knowledge of all the places and can tell he genuinely was happy to share his heritage. Thank you again Austin for being an amazing tour guide and taking such good care of us. Thank you for making this trip so memorable!!
Best agency in chiang mai! We did a private tour in a super comfy van. The van inside is modified, all seats are reclinable. We booked a trip from chiang mai to chiang rai with stops along the way to see the temples with the guide austin and he was awesome!! Gave us privacy, talked the right amount, kind, took the best photos! Kanchaya even help us wiith a booking the day after. They are great! Thank you so much!
We did a day trip from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai to visit the White Temple, Blue Temple, and Red Temple. The experience was absolutely amazing. Our guide and driver, Austin, was fantastic — he spoke good English, was very patient, and ensured our trip was smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable throughout. The temples themselves are stunning, truly unique, and definitely worth a one-time visit if you’re in Northern Thailand. Highly recommend both the place and Austin as a guide!
Amazing cant thank enough my driver. I would give 10 stars. Our trip was very fun and our guide stop every single place and took many pics. I loved
This was an amazing experience we had, but we couldn’t have done it without the help from our tour guide. He had our day planned out for myself and wife. He was very polite and courteous to us and knew how to hold a conversation and was also very knowledgeable about the history of the places we visited. We really enjoyed our time with him as our guide. I would recommend him 💯
This tour is a must. Totally worth the price for the ease of it. Our tour guide Nop was fantastic. So helpful and patient. Glad we chose the private tour instead of group because there was so much to do and see we were able to do it at our pace no rush
Incredible tour. Our guide was great. As we were driving, my wife brought up that she was looking for something. He helped find a place and took us there. The sites were Incredible but the tour guide made it even better.
Our driver, Toon Toon was a kind person but we booked a private tour in order to have a guide to explain us what we see and inform us about the history of the temples. Unfortunately our driver was not familiar with English language at all. He knew some words and specific phrases but nothing more. It was not possible to discuss something in English. In the beggining I asked him when the white temple was built he replied: " I would like to talk about this later." I thought that maybe he has prepared a small briefing before our entrance to the temple but nothing like that happened. I am afraid he was a driver and a companion to help us on where the entrance and the exit is but for sure not a guide on a private tour. I am very disappointed for the money I have paid. After our visit to the white temple I asked him which temple is the best based on his opinion and guess what! The reply was " I would like to talk about this later" OK, then I realized that I have spend a big amount of money for a private tour with no reason. I still believe he couldn't understand what I was asking. When we got back to our hotel i read some things on google regarding the temples. I don't have anything with this man, but the company which organize this needs to be more responsible to the customers they booked with them and not interesting only to receive money due to the high season. During my 3 weeks trip to Thailand I have booked many excursions but this was the worst by far. The 3 stars go to this man as he was kind, on time and generous, he took us many photos, maybe this is a must for some people not for me though.
Tong tong was the best ⭐ He took us in all the places and took a lot of pictures He even recommendes food items that were delicious
What an amazing day we had with Austin on our private tour of Chiang Rai 3 wonderful temples and Lalitta cafe. Austin was amazing right from the moment he picked us up from our hotel to the moment he dropped us back. He made the trip unforgettable and so memorable. He went at our pace and allowed us to see all the things we want to do. He went above and beyond to make our trip so special by taking photographs of us at all the temple and cafe, as well as explaining the meaning of each temple. I would highly recommend this private tour as it was value for money in our opinion and was such a great day if you have the time to spare to make the day trip from Chiang Mai as we did. Even though it was a long day it was one we will never forget from our trip to Thailand and that was all thanks to Austin. Thank you so much Austin from a very grateful Robert and Lesley 🙏🏾
We really enjoyed this temple tour, and Thippy was a wonderful guide the whole way, despite my husband battling dehydration and not feeling well. She was super understanding and patient, and even appointed herself a designated photographer in the afternoon, getting some great pictures of us at the White Temple. The Rainbow Temple was amazing and not to be missed - we had it mostly to ourselves in the morning. Overall was a great experience and so glad we went!
Our guide Uh lala was very friendly, smooth pickup and drop off. Mentioned i haven't seen certain local fruits and on our way to Chiangmai she pulled over to a stand that had the fruits, and help me purchased it from a girl.
Our guide was awesome. With his help we saw and learned so much. He even helped us take pictures… tons of pictures.
This was definitely my favorite tour, the service was great, the guide knew a lot of interesting information and the temples are beautiful! i took so many photos. The Lalitta cafe was great as well, it is a jungle inside a restaurant and it is full of flowers, waterfalls, and the food was delicious. 100% recommend!
Great tour was fabulous, the temples, the experience and the food was great. The tour guide was the best one, he was super nice and explained everything in English
It was the best tour I’ve been in a long time very nice person and easy to get along with. He gave us a very fun experience. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience
It was amazing. Beautiful Temples, the food was delicous, and Lalitta cafe was nice and had good deserts and drinks. Would recommend!
Was amazing, gave alot of information. Knew all the great photo spots and genuinely just a great person. Best trip I have had in a long time
Amazing. Very informative, knew so many facts about the temples and the scenery. So kind and patient. I would recommend him to anyone
Austin is an absolute professional who clearly knows the region. He shared useful insights and spiced up the private tour with some humor. He was timely, catered to our needs, answered questions and shared openly about life is Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai.
Austin was so incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the temples and made our whole trip so much better than I originally anticipated. I also appreciated his recommendation of the sticky rice ice cream with coconut at the blue temple stop, a delicious treat on a hot day! This trip is well worth the money, I highly recommended it.
Austin was a great guide. He was super knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining. He knew where the best ice cream was, guided us through the temples and gave deep meaning to what we saw. The experience was incredible. p.s. Austin is also a great photographer. He was happy to help our group of four at each can’t miss photo opportunity.
We had a fabulous time. Austin was very knowledgeable of all the temples and stories! Best places to eat! Austin very kind and let us take our time at each stop! Would highly recommend and would definitely take another trip with him!! Thank you so much for the wonderful day in Chiang Rai!!
Very knowledgeable and super intentive. Overall he was amazing and treated us with passion. If I had the choice for my next tour, I would choose Austin in a heart beat! Very grateful for him. The temples were jaw dropping as well and is something you can only experience in person.
Great tour! Sites were amazing!!! Our tour guide Aus was awesome!! He was punctual, friendly, knew all the stories and was a great photographer!!! Van was spotless, did the necessary stops and had our little private disco/kareoke on our way back! Austin Powers!
This was an amazing tour, not only for the sights visited but for our wonderful guide Aus! He was friendly, funny and very knowledgeable. Also, he scheduled all places so we could get the less crowded times on each. Absolutely amazing! Would recommend this tour and this guide 100%!
We had a wonderful time! We were running slightly late for our morning pickup but communication was super smooth and they were very accommodating! Our tour guide and driver Natawan brought us to Lalitta Cafe, which was absolutely magical, and helped take so many pictures and videos of us. We moved on to the visit the three temples which were all so beautiful and truly amazing to see. Nat was the best help in explaining things, making sure we didn’t miss out on special things in/around the temples and again taking all of our pictures and videos. Even though we saw it all, the tour was great and so beautiful that we would definitely book this again! Thank you!
The views were amazing! Not rushed at all, our guide was amazing. He took lots of pictures for us! Had a lot of free time. Loved it. Would highly recommend
Amazing trip to Chiang Rai with all the best attractions. Our driver Sumit was beyond and above making sure we would get the most out of it.
Loved the trip got to see all the temples in Chiang Rai and visit the Lalitta Cafe. Our photos came out amazing. Did not feel rushed. Driver was friendly and knowledgeable about history of temples. Stopped at a nice local spot for lunch and food was good. It was a long day but worth it.
The road is quite long until Chiang Rai, the visit to the white and blue temples is therefore quite quick while they are superb, I would have eliminated the visit to the 1st temple. Our guide was very smiling and attentive. Lunch very well, the vehicle really very comfortable.
Superb excursion with our driver/guide Thomas. His cultural and historical explanations are perfect for understanding Thai culture
We had a very good experience. The tour was very flexible, our guide was very professional, helpful and patient. Everything went perfect
