Great tour with the best guide Tic - We accidentally booked the tour for a wrong day. After contacting us by email, it was no problem to change the tour to a day later.
Our group consisted of only 3 people because 1 pair did not show up in time at the request of the driver.
So we have been traveling in a comfortable car.
Our driver Tic was extremely prudent and very safe driving, told us a lot about the attractions and country and people during the driving and also later. He is a great English speaking Thai and can explain absolutely understandably.
We found the visits all very interesting, be it the orchids and butterflies, later the 5 trunks or at the end the cave.
This tour was an absolute highlight at the end of our stay in Thailand. We can definitely recommend you and especially the guide Tic.
Everything fit perfectly and was very coherent.
THANKS to WanderSim and Tic

Our guide Tik was very warm and attentive to us, sharing his stories in English and even in French. An unforgettable experience.

Visit with the Hill People - We had a very friendly, engaged guide and driver who took extra care to make sure that we had a full experience. This tour is a real inside look at the hill people cultures and practices.

Temple tours - Saman Duangkham was an amazing guide! He carefully guides us to the temples and had a lot of knowledge about the history.
Tips for others: please be mindful of your attire (recommend gym/loose attire) if you decide to take the stairs and do the hike down. There’s a lot of rocks and some areas are slippery!

No village life at all! - We did not visit 5 but 4 “villages”. It sucks! No village life seen at all, you see no one just chickens walking around and every time you are taken to an old lady who wants to sell you everything. The people from the villages are refugees from Burma, China and Tibet....
The excursion to Chiang Dao cave was very nice. You have to be fit and flexible because you have to bend down and crawl a lot 😉
