About this tour

What to expect
You'll be picked up from your accommodation and have a driver entirely at your disposal for the day. Chat through what appeals to you—temples, waterfalls, hill-tribe villages, markets, countryside drives—and your driver will map a logical route and handle all navigation. You're free to spend an hour somewhere or twenty minutes; the pace is yours. The van stays cool and comfortable even in Chiang Mai's heat. Your driver can suggest lunch spots and fill you in on what you're seeing as you pass through. This isn't a guided tour with scripted commentary, but a transport service where local insight comes naturally through conversation.
