5A true gem of Northern Thailand
The tour was well-planned and delivered, our guide Galaya was so positive, communicative and spoke English really well. We saw the beauties of the jungle forest, rice fields, local village and the Doi Ithanon pagodas themselves. A great way to escape the heat of the city and explore one of the Northern Thailand’s gems!
3Too many shopping stops and a rush tour
Too many shopping stops , for attractions stop only few minutes and I updated the pickup address but the operator did NOT NOTICE the driver, we waited half an hour and communicated a lot, the operator had suggested me to change the date, finally they send another car for us…
5They were very accomodating
I booked my Doi Inthanon trip through TripAdvisor, and the overall experience was smooth and well-organized. The tour was enjoyable, and everything went as expected.
5Beautiful
Scenery was amazing, Tour guides informative and kind, fellow travelers were fun!
5Overall, an enjoyable...
Overall, an enjoyable experience. The staff was friendly and informative. There was plenty of time to enjoy each location with zero stress.
3Beautiful but no insigjts
The tour itself exceeded our expectations. Very beautiful and interesting. A total 5 stars! The communication about meeting places, etc and the vehicle were great. Unfortunately our tour guide Paula was sweet but she spoke such limited English that we received no information about what we were seeing. She actually texted photos of the sites as a way of sharing information. Thus, the low stars… I highly recommend the destination, but try a different tour group if you want any information about what you’re seeing.
