“Booked this as a solo traveler since it is a must-do from Chiang Mai. Mediocre experience. Lots of time wasted before getting to the national park (~1h picking up from hotels, ~40 min stop at gas station for food) meaning the actual 2h hike takes place during the hottest part of the day (1-3p). The tour guide provides no value (no explanation of history, doesn’t walk around the pagodas or waterfall with you).”

“Overall a nice trip. The tour has advertised visit to Karen village whereas we only stopped at Karen market by the road. The lunch was cold when served and rather bland tasting compared to other tours’ lunches we’ve been to before. Our guide should have told us more about places we visited since guides from other groups we encountered were more informative. I have infiltrated couple of other groups and listened to their guides. I am unsure if “Sightseeing only” in tour title means that guide will not be telling us things but just taking us from A to B and giving rudimentary explanations about places we visit. If that…”
