Great chance to see three...

Canceled at last minute
I was disappointed that the Tour operator canceled disappointment at the last minute. We did not get a chance to go on the tour. They did communicate well, so that’s why they get a three star rating, but I can’t give them any higher than that as they canceled on the last minute

Temples in Chiang Mai
Very nice guy, helpful and energetic. However he's English was not the greatest. We encountered many guides in Thailand prior and this young man, in spite of being very helpful, probably needs a bit more practice

Great tour of temples
Van was a great guide. Very knowledgeable and spoke English well. I felt like we hit all the key temples in the area (obviously can’t see them all!).
