Sensational holiday. Olsen Tours were simply fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble. We experienced city life, country life, hilltribe life, and learnt so much about Thailand, and all in a little over a week. So much fun and can recommend Olsen Tours highly. Thank you Noi, we’ll be back.

We managed a golfing tour (3 sensational courses) and visits to city, bush and hills all within a week without rushing. Superb organisation by Noi and her team but with detailed attention to a variety of food, drink and accommodation. Will be back to experience more of Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and the hiking trails in the hills. Thoroughly recommend Olsen Tours to arrange something to fit your requirements.

We did the Mae Hong San Loop 5D4N with our superb guide Noi and experienced driver Ork. It was absolutely enjoyable and we will definitely come back for more with Olsen Tours!! Noi has such positivity and so much energy in her that there is never a dull moment during our tour.. needless to say, her professionalism is top-notch!! Driver Ork is also very humorous and his driving is exceptionally smooth!! The itinerary is well-paced and has flexibility, we appreciate Noi going the extra mile to customise some items which we requested. Thank you Olsen Tours for such a wonderful experience and see you again very soon!!

Our tour guide Ken was informative, funny, and went above and beyond to give us the best tour of Pai possible. He encouraged us to take out time, saying, “You’re on vacation! No rush!” He was very patient when we decided to spend more time at certain sights, but he kept us on schedule so that we did not miss the sunset from the White Buddha temple. He answered our questions about Thai culture, even our questions about spooky folklore. We loved that everything except our hotel and our nighttime activities were included in the price of the tour. Ken also ordered our meals for us! 10/10 would recommend booking a tour!!

Yes, we are big fans of Ken here in the the office too! We have a great team of guides and drivers - we just wish we could clone them all and take more people on tour. Pai is a fantastic destination for a short trip, thanks for letting us know we helped to make it even better for you.

I had a wonderful time in Doi Inthanon national park thanks to Olsen Tours. We decided to hire a private guide for explore the park and we wanted to customize our trip. Olsen tour's response was quick and very accommodating.
Our guide Ken created just the right trip for us, he was very knowledgeable about the area and culture.

We found Olson tours online we booked 4 days and 3 knights tour from them.
We went on a private tour and we wanted it custom made to our demands
Noi was very helpful even before the trip started, she talked with us and verified what we want and gave us some good advice.
She made a wonderful itinerary for us.
On the tour itself she was lovely and made sure everything will go well.
On the car we had water and some snakes
She is a grate guide and I will defiantly recommend her to all my friends.

Ken was our tour guide to the tea picking experience, Wat ban den and the sticky falls. We are a couple and did a private day trip.
He was right on time, super friendly, he always wanted to share more information and get the most out of the day.
He is highly recommended.
Besides Ken, the Olsen tours office was super communicative, very fast responsive, showed all different options for different budgets. We certainly recommend them.

Noi recently guided us for 3 days in Chiang Mai on various tours. Noi is an EXCEPTIONAL guide and fantastic ambassador for her region. Her perfect mix of cheeky and professional made our days with her a pleasure in every way. Her attention to detail was above and beyond what was expected.
Noi added things that were not in our tour and she organised dinner reservations, cooking schools and much more that were outside of her tour bookings.
Highlight of the 3 days was when she sat with us at a local, family owned, river restaurant, with our feet in the water, eating authentic Thai cuisine chosen by Noi for us to enjoy… and enjoy we did. Many, many other highlights along the way as well.
Noi comes with our highest recommendation for tours in the North of Thailand.

Thank you for your kind words 828dib. I certainly had fun, and am happy that it was fun for you too.
You are most welcome back any time, but perhaps in a cooler/greeener month next time. If you have a few days we can take you to explore Mae Hong Son province.

We did a three-day trip to Chiang Rai. We visited many interesting and beautiful places with our amazing tourist guide Sam! We enjoyed the delicious proposed Thai food, learned a lot about Thai culture, art and habits. Our guide Sam had lots of stories and information to share and was always answering all of our questions!
We loved the tour and we would recommend it to anyone who wants to have a great Thai experience!

Viola - so good to hear you had a great time in Chiang Rai. 3 days is certainly a good amount of time to see all the sights AND enjoy the food & culture.
We wish you safe onward travels, and look forward to seeing you again in Northern Thailand in the future.

Incredible views, stress-free transportation, and an amazingggg tour guide (we love you Noi!) I would highly recommend this tour if you are looking to hit a lot of beauties within Doi Inthanon and don't want to hassle with figuring out the details (transportation, local guides, etc). The included lunches were delicious, we think about it everyday. Noi holds a special place in our heart, she was so sweet, very knowledgable, and an excellent photographer! All throughout the trip she would take photos of my group of 7 and it is a great way to remember the experiences without being tied to our phones. We would definitely book another tour with Olsen Tours whenever we return to Chiang Mai.
