About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Linemoseby0 contributionsWonderful jungle adventureYou get picked up near your hotel in an air conditioned van, about an hour drive before you're at emerald pool. Your guide shows you the safe way to get to the pools and where you can swim. The hot springs (10 minutes drive away)are beautiful and you get time enough to take pictures and swim around. Time at the tiger temple is limited, so if you're not fast- don't try to make it to the top. Just enjoy the area and the cave. Abhidej was a great guide and I would recomend this trip any day of the year!Written December 12, 2024
- Rlajivry0 contributions100% recommended !!A great tour thanks to our guide Avi who told us lots of stories! The group I was with was also great! The temple Doi Suthep looks amazing by nightWritten December 11, 2024
- pamelaaS7599LM0 contributionsBe prepared to walk and learn so much about Buddha and the beautiful temples!!This all-day tour was amazing! The temples are beautiful, and the history is rich and unforgettable. The tour guide was exceptional; she was pleasant and very helpful. I will definitely return with my family and friends! I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to have a great time learning and having fun! 100% recommended.Written December 10, 2024
- pamelaaS7599LM0 contributionsThe best experience!Pattaya was wonderful!! Koh Larn Island is a sight to behold; everyone should experience it at least once in their life. Our tour guide, Jacky, was very knowledgeable of the area; he got me the best deal for jet skiing and food. He was very pleasant and took us to lovely locations where we could take very beautiful pictures. I would definitely return to do this tour again, and this time, I will return with my friends or family! 100% recommended.Written December 10, 2024
- ANA G0 contributionsChiang Rai templesComfortable van and safe driving. Our guide Ati was really nice and helpful. Explanation about the temples was given before arriving with the option of self guided visit once we were on site.Written December 9, 2024
- Dreamer517441534800 contributionsPleasant Excursion from BangkokOur tour guide Jacky is very friendly and knowledgeable about the sites that we are seeing. He also carries a great sense of humour. Good day-trip excursion from Bangkok!Written December 7, 2024

- I4528AYmiriamk0 contributionsGreat dayWell organised and comfortable, kept to the schedule and plenty of information. The meet point was a little confusing, maybe tell people it's not on ground level.Written December 5, 2024
- urbital0 contributionsAwesome trip!This was a great tour. Our guide Tan made sure we got the most out of our time on the tour. Tana was funny, took care of our belongings for us and even had water ready for us every time we got back to the minibus. Our driver coco was excellent as well on the wheel. I highly recommend bringing tennis shoes for the tigera cave temple climb. It's about 1200 steps to the top but the views from the top are well worth it. Thank you Tan and Coco for a great trip!Written December 5, 2024
- K7316YThelenc0 contributionsWould 100% recommend for 1 day visitThe Tour guide was very helpful, and provided many tips before getting into the Tour and the Island. Didn't force anything uncomfortable and lightened the mood with jokes as well!Written December 4, 2024
- Ludwig W0 contributionsPopcorn the best guideThe White Temple (Wat Rong Khun) and the Blue Temple (Wat Rong Suea Ten) are both absolutely incredible. The White Temple feels surreal with its all-white design and insane details, while the Blue Temple has this deep, vibrant vibe that’s just mesmerizing. But what really made this tour unforgettable was our guide, Pocorn. He’s the best guide ever!!! no doubt about it. He’s super knowledgeable, funny, and knows how to make the whole group feel at ease. He brought the temples to life and made the experience so much better. If I could give more than five stars, I would. If you’re going to visit these temples, make sure you get Pocorn as your guide. You’ll thank me later!Written December 4, 2024
- SueUK210 contributionsGreat way to get a flavour of the cityAvi was a great tour guide for our tuk tuk half day tour. He spoke excellent English & was very knowledgeable of his city. He was helpful & nothing was too much trouble for him. The tour gave us both a great insight into Chiang Mai. We visited several temples, passed by historic landmarks which were pointed out & chatted about. My favourite stop off was at the market where we saw an amazing array of fresh fruit & vegetables. I now wish we had also stopped at the flower market. I saw more of Chiang Mai on this half day tour than I did in 3 days last year. I would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Chiang Mai for the 1st time as it certainly gave us a flavour of the city. Thank you Avi (& the young lady driver) for an excellent informative tuk tuk experience.Written December 3, 2024
- Luuk Y0 contributionsWe had a very good time, there are a few things that can be improved.We missed our pick up, it turned out to be earlier than the 8:00 in the confirmation. The guide was already at the pick up point at 7:22!? Turns out we should have had a confirmation app for the exact time the evening before. However the service center was excellent and quick in resolving the issue so we could join a group on a later date. We did enjoy the trip very much, interesting architecture and history. The visit to the palace requires a specific dress code, it would help if this information was available through a link from the booking site. For conformation of the booking we received 7 e-mails !?? 6 of those with warnings about cyber crime and very long internet links in them that look so long and critical they could lead you to the darkweb or wherever. At least for me they make me think 'don't go there' One of them is about filling out a form for insurance for the trip that asks for your birthdate passport number and full name. The site where you are taken to does not look like an official site or has no link you can check for to make sure they are safe. I was not able to fill in this form via the TripAdvisor app and check that the form was successfully submitted. Pity it would make the whole process a lot easier and give it more confidence.Written December 3, 2024
- danielgE9152VU0 contributionsGreat tour and guide called EeeWe booked a last minute temples tour in Chiang Mai as we just arrived and had half day free and we were so lucky as we could take advantage and visited the most important temples with our guide Eee. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and funny. You can see that he is very passionate explaining everything about the places and the culture! Thanks for the tour from the Spanish couple Dani & Maria! Highly recommended!Written December 2, 2024
- timot3630 contributionsTour was delivered as promisedIt was a standard tour to see the main sights of Doi Inthanon National Park. The highlight was our guide Nana, whose infectious energy made the entire journey enjoyable!Written December 2, 2024

The tour was well organized and educating. We were very pleased with our guide May, she was so caring, before every stop to share information she made sure we were in the shade and comfortable. She also answered all our questions we had. We suggest the tour for small group, we were 6 people, it was just right - did not need to wait long time for everybody taking pictures - we could move on in good speed. We recommend the guided tour.

My flight was late in the afternoon and I was trying to find a tour I could squeeze in at the last-minute. This one by TripGuru exceeded my expectations! The Grand Palace is a must-see in my opinion and having my guide Pim there sharing the history behind it made the experience so much better!

Great tour guide, super interesting and informative, made the whole visit so much more fascinating and insightful.
Highly recommend going to the Queen SiriKit Museum of Textiles - amazing - and the Khon Performance - incredible!!!. Both are included in the Grand Palace ticket. There are free buses that take you to the Khon Performance - it is actually not that far from the Grand Palace, so easy to walk back.
