Highly Recommend Tour - We had an amazing day with Tik as our guide in Chiang Mai! He was super friendly, patient, and knowledgeable, speaking excellent English. Our first stop was the peaceful Bai Orchid and Butterfly Farm, perfect for nature lovers. Then, we visited Ban Huai I-Ko to experience the rich hill tribe cultures and daily life. Finally, we explored the stunning Chiang Dao Cave with its incredible rock formations. Tik made the whole tour even more enjoyable, and I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a mix of nature, culture, and adventure!

excellent - I had them visit villages of ethnic minorities, and I couldn't go there alone. We were worried about the weather, but it was very sunny, so we enjoyed the tour. Along the way, they explained the menu and ordered it at the restaurant, which was very helpful. Thank you very much.

Thank you for this tour and nancy lt was a meaningful day - It's usually five people, but it's raining, so I and my dad have to go on a tour. Like a private tour. It was so nice. After a visit to the Nibis and the Orchid Farm, I listen to the tribal village and look around. For me, who like to walk, other places than the city were quiet and nice. Just an incredibly special memory! It wasn't this, but it was a nice day with Nancy's kind explanations and the smiles of the villagers. If you just listen to simple English, Nancy explains it well enough to understand. The captain also had a good sense of smooth driving and continuing to open the door. We went into the cave in the darkness, and then we'll see some lights like some of the Korean caves. Recommendation for non-slip sporting activities and take on a non-attractive pants. I stayed as a special memory during a long journey, but if you're on a short trip, you want to try something you haven't done elsewhere or if you like walking, please apply for this tour. Nancy was so nice and kind to explain, so I think you should ask Nancy if you do. Careful best!!!

A journey through ethnic minorities - Originally interested in ethnic minorities originating in China, I was able to actually see how the people who moved to Chiang Mai after the Thai incident lived.
