Our family had an amazing time on the Chiang Rai & Chiang Mai Explorer tour! From Chiang Rai to Chiang Mai, everything was awesome. Our guide was super nice and told us cool stories about the places we visited. Chiang Saen was really cool because we saw old temples and went on a boat on the Mae Kok River. It was like an adventure! In Chiang Mai, we learned how to cook Thai food together, and it was so much fun. The best part was that the tour was perfect for families. The hotels were comfy, and the guide was patient with our little one. We felt like the tour was made just for us! Thanks to Auasia Travel agency for making our trip so special.Less

Thank you so much for everything you did to make our honeymoon great, we had an amazing 8 days! We enjoyed all the wonderful places and were very pleased with all the accommodations and how smoothly all the transportation went. We were always picked up on time and all hand-offs were smooth. Everyone spoke very good English and everything was super reliable. Our best guide! Super friendly and helpful. We liked that he offered to take pictures of us and knew all the best spots. Only complaint is he could be too detailed and we moved very slowly at some parts. All of the hotels had great locations, good breakfasts, and awesome facilities. All of the staff were very welcoming and friendly, and they all decorated and brought us cake for our honeymoon. Thanks Auasia Travel team.Less
