The booking process is straightforward, whether arranged in person at the shopfront or through their website. Walk-in visitors are welcomed during opening hours, and staff take time to understand traveler interests before recommending suitable tours.

Amazing experience! Such a seamless booking process - we walked in to the shop and were immediately greeted and invited to see Nicky, who was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. She asked us attentive questions and advised us to the best tour that would suit our needs. Nicky paired us with the Chiang Mai Good Tour company - thank you to Rainy and Mr Tiger who had excellent knowledge and care to our needs. Thank you so much! I left a full review of the trip in more detail on their Google Page We did the Doi Inthanon (no trek) day tour which included beautiful waterfall visit, twin pagoda, short walk through a nature trail, visits to the local village for coffee & tea tasting, a lovely local lunch. Even though there were so many activities in one day, we had free time to roam around and take breaks. Will definitely visit again to do the full bike tour!

This was one of the best day trips l have done anywhere! We did the full day tour to Doisuthep, Hidden Temple, Orchid Farm, and Sticky Waterfall. The scenery and temples were stunning, probably the most beautiful we have seen in Thailand. We had the most amazing guide - Yosita. She was incredibly knowledgeable and caring, and she took fantastic photos of us all day, so we could enjoy our gorgeous surroundings, without having to worry about taking photos. She took us to a wonderful place for lunch, with delicious food in a beautiful setting. I honestly can’t recommend this tour and guide enough! Deborah

We watched the sunrise at the Doi Suthep temple, and it was so beautiful. Cherry, our guide, is very professional and knowledgeable, and we learned alot about the history of the temple. We also visited the Hidden Temple, where Cherry again was telling stories about the temple. I highly reccomend Cherry as guide.
