Luminosity! - Two adventurous women from the united states in the british virgin islands came to chiang mai as the seventh stop before the end of a twenty eight day journey while in Chiang Mai we opted to take the night tuk tuk tour of the temples to see them in LIGHTS! Jane was a fantastic,knowledgeable, friendly tour guide.
The TukTuk drivers were very safe! We will definitely recommend your company to anyone who's coming to changmai in the future!

Great tour! - Jane and A are the best! I had a solo tour with Jane and she’s the sweetest. Shared so many new things about the history of Chiang Mai. If you get the chance definitely do this tour! Seeing the different villages and tribes were very interesting

Cruising in caves - Driver Tam and guide Jane waited for us in advance of the scheduled time, very carefully, to visit the villages of various ethnicities, but also to enter the villagers house, is a real village is not a tourist point, thanks to Jane's guidance we entered the high floor in their living room stay, very good experience. Blue Canyon is an original rock cave, thanks to the tourists with the fire lamp to explore adventure, there is a road without fire lamps is not to stretch the finger, it is an unforgettable experience.

'Off the beaten track' in Chiang Mai and surroundings - Our tour guide Leo was charming, thorough and knowledgable.
We visited a local orchid and butterfly farm outside of Chiang Mai, 5 Northern hill tribes (Karen, Akha, Meo, Lisu, Palong) and the Chiang Dao cave.
The tour was varied enough and the carride was broken down into smaller bits so that we don't sit all day for too long time. There are several good choices to eat tasty local food outside of the cave's parking area (even vegan, vegetarian and halal). The cave and its surroundings were breathtaking and it was a very soothing-refreshing experience after the hot temperatures outside.
Personal observation: After reading further on the hill tribes living in the Northern-Thailand area, we would reconsider our decision and refrain from visiting the villages, as it felt morally wrong, non-ethical and raised questions of inequality, privilege, ignorance in retrospect.
Regardless, I can only say that Leo was readily explain everything, he had a very inclusive and accommodative attitude and the half-day trip was worth the time and money.
Thank you Leo!
