“The level of the Thailand guides is very high but Margaret's is on a different scale! Not only she offered information about the history of the temples but also gave insight about the current status of them. She had solid answers to all our questions and cared that everybody was back in time. She provided extra support for hiking on a rainy day what I can only label as "master minded" strategy to keep allowing the people enjoying the tour under adverse weather conditions. She did also the extra mile without hesitation, ensuring that all the participants would reach their target places on time. In my case she even help…”

“10/10 couldn’t fault anything. Troy was the perfect guide very knowledgeable and friendly. Picked up and dropped off right at hotel door. The trekking was brilliant, real jungle scenes and a nice circular route so was different scenery the whole way round. We had the waterfall all to ourselves no other groups there at all which felt really special, definitely take your swimming kit for a dip! lunch provided was very tasty. We just had to take water but 2 small bottles or 1 big one was enough for us. Over all Troy went above and beyond to give us a brilliant day exploring in the jungle. Worth every penny…”

“Absolutely exhilarating! DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE HIKE! We had marathon runners in our group that were struggling at times, especially after the waterfall. Also, please have some level of experience mountain biking. While categorized as beginner by the company, the trail is definitely in between beginner and intermediate and we saw several folks wipe out on the downhill portions of the trail. KNOW WHAT YOU’RE GETTING INTO! Also, to the tour company, please work with different restaurants. My fiancé and I contracted severe food poisoning from one of the meals consumed that day. But we’ve since recovered :)”

“This was a really fun activity. Our guide Tiram was clearly very skilled at hiking, but especially mountain biking, and took us on some challenging routes. I would say you have to be quite fit for this, as on the hike you encounter some quite tough terrain, and we scaled the side of a waterfall on all fours which was tough, but doable. You need to be quite proficient and confident with a bike; this was fine for me as I cycle regularly, but this is definitely not for the leisurely rider, as some of the trails were quite difficult, but I enjoyed the challenge having not really mountain biked…”

“Pick up from hotel was on time and took around 20min to destination. Meeting the Elephant's was amazing the guide provided lots of information about each elephant and also detailed of facts about the elephants and how the reserve operated. There was enough time given to watch the elephants feed, play, graze in their setting. You were able to get up close to the elephants and also feed them. It was a magical experience that I will never forget and would recommend visiting this sanctuary”

“Look no further when in search for a quality-oriented trip in Chiang Mai area! Team at TC did an AMAZING job during our Doi Inthanon trip with a short trekking. Everything from the hotel pickup, ride, guidance and overall vibe was top notch. Tui and his lovely friend (sorry, I'm terrible at remembering names!) were very informative, spoke great English and created a very unique opportunity to learn not only about places we've visited – but also about Thai society, culture and more. We were extremely satisfied and we honestly wish we stayed loner in Chiang Mai to experience more moments like that.”
