This tour wouldn’t have been so fun without him! Also our driver P’Bee was very patient and even went above his duties to drop off some members of the tour outside of drop off area for their convenience on the way home. Very kind!

Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. We were not rushed at all locations and the timing was perfect. Lunch was around 3 pm but tour guide warned about it and we had a stop to buy snacks, besides there were plenty of shops and cafes at each tour locations. Also, it was no additional charges and all entry tickets were included into the price.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 191 reviews · 7 hours · from $60

Review of Chiang Mai’s 7-hour Doi Suthep hike, with temple trails, Hmong village views, lunch, costs, difficulty, and practical tips.

“I had a fantastic time on this tour. Our guide ('A') was really friendly and knowledgable and made the whole thing fun. The views are great, the lunch spot is cute, it was just a great day. **One thing to note: this is the most intense hike they do. I am 30, do a lot of sport, hike a lot, and brought proper hiking boots. If you are not very athletic and/or don't bring proper shoes then you will find it quite difficult. For those that love hiking it is a great day out, but come prepared.**”
