Krystal and I don’t do many “pre-planned” tours when we vacation, but this one just made sense in Chiang Rai. Mr. Nut was our driver and he is also the owner of this company. Kiki identified herself as our tour guide. There were only four “attractions”we really wanted to see during our 4 days in Chiang Rai besides the lantern festival. This tour covered all of them! The tour was with 7 other people, our tour guide and the driver/owner in a luxury 9 passenger van with extended headroom. Well air conditioned, all the cold iced water we wanted, and they even stopped at places we wanted to take photos at that weren’t on the schedule! None of us felt rushed, we were all well informed by Kiki before and during the stops. This was a marvelous experience, and some of us, I’m sure will be friends for a long time! Highly recommend, don’t know how they can afford to do this at this price, but… Hotel pick-up, transportation to 7 stops, included a huge all-you-can-eat buffet lunch, 10 hour tour- 1200 TB ($37/pp)! Do this, and ramble from the staged sites, especially around the Golden Triangle, you will thank me later.

My wife and I went on a private tour to the Golden Triangle, Karen Long Neck Village, Choui Fong, Wat Tham Phra, and the House of Opium museum with Bank. Bank is an absolute gem of a guide and the best guide we have ever had! His knowledge is very impressive and his English speaking is impeccable! We highly recommend Bank as a tour guide. He went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure we had a wonderful experience! He is a valuable asset to Black Dragon Tours 🐉

Me and my husband enjoyed a full day of exploring. We really enjoyed Mai and Mr.Tuan. Mai was very knowledgeable and friendly. They were very accommodating as well, providing me with a gluten free lunch option. It was perfect amount of time at each place , long day but we accomplished a lot. Highly recommend
