        The best zip line adventure.
        We have experienced the Zipline in Wales, UK and in the UAE both are fast but over in a flash. This one is the best. Once you start your feet don't touch the ground. We spent about 2.5 hours ziplining from Tree to tree, in two cases using short rope bridges and rope nets to get from one tree platform to the next zipline. This adds to the fun. The crew of 4 were so much fun to be with but remember you are in Thailand so H&S is a little different to Europe. The lunch they provide is excellent as well. I would do it again if we went back.

        Top Tour - Beautiful Temples
        Amazing architecture at each temple gave us stunning pictures. Most of my friends ask about the white temples or point out how beautiful the temples are. Looking back, the tour gave us the appropriate amount of time for each area. They were all very helpful and made sure not to leave anyone behind, even those that straggled back to our meeting place past the meeting time. Great experience. Would definitely recommend this tour.

        Excellent Family-friendly Tuk Tuk Tour
        It was such a great tour! Perfect way to see the old city. Comfortable Tuk Tuk, friendly English-speaking driver, and just the right amount of time and number of stops. A must do! An incredible deal!

        Try this...you will enjoy it!
        Am I scared of heights? Yes. Was I scared? No. This is easily one of my most favorite activities. The views were amazing (although a little hazy). Being "outside" vice being in an airplane was so cool. Try something different when you travel...you will enjoy it.

        A visit to the mountains and more
        We had a wonderful trip to the royal park with a local guide. We visited a local village for coffee and another for shopping locally made goods. It was great to meet and speak with the local peoole. We also visited 2 beautiful waterfalls. It was a fun day.

        pleasant overview of Old Chiang Mai
        A pleasant and easy way to get acquainted with the Old City of Chiang Mai.. Be advised this is, in no way, a guided tour.. The tuk tuk looked nothing like the one in the photo..

        Unbelievable experience at a great price
        This is definitely worth doing, yes it’s a long day but you will go everywhere! The spa and village break up the journey and the white and blue temples are fabulous, forget the images you may have seen, they need to be experienced. Our guide was very good, friendly, helpful with plenty of info, but if like me you prefer exploring on your own, he was not overly clingy so you get your own space. Highly recommended.

        Great time with a great guide
        We had a great time with the tuk tuk tour. We had a group of 8 so we rented 4. We also hired an English speaking guide which was a must do to understand the beauty and history of chiang mai

        Nice experience but a bit overrated compared to the excitement of the Instagrammers promoting this venue
        I saw the video of this location on Instagram and made me want to go there. I rented a motorbike and drove about an hour just to do the jungle coaster two times in a row. It was fun but less exciting than the rides you have in Western theme parks. Nevertheless it can be more fun when spending more money and also take the ziplining etc...

        Good experience but personal comments
        Overall a good experience, beautiful views and average price including health insurance and transfer from hotel. Main criticism would be the instructors approach to customer, very friendly but perhaps a little too personal. Me and my friend are larger and therefore had a few comments about our size which I understand slightly due to cultural differences but when paying a high rate for a great experience it does take away from the experience as a whole. Generally they were very friendly and the comments weren’t too offensive but things such as ‘big buddha’ are hard to shake off during the activity.

        Good half day tour with Wat
        Very good experience. Our driver Wat allowed us to choose and dictate the speed of the tour. He was an experienced driver and also very pleasant.

      Excellent and useful cooking class, easy to understand for those of us who are not experts in the kitchen and the chef clearly explains the various dishes.
