Free walking tours in Chiang Mai

Pailin is a fascinating lady with wide knowledge and lots of anecdotes. You couldn't wish for a better walking tour guide. Highly recommended.

Very nice walking tour, we saw a lot of sights in Chiang Mai in only 3,5 hours.

We can recommend this tour. We got a lot of information and tasted good food thanks to the guide

Pailin is very knowledgeable, and makes every effort to connect with her participants by relating to them. She’s also very patient, taking time to share her knowledge about Thai history, culture, Buddhism and about life in general. She’s also generous, having bought cut fruits along the way for everyone to share. I thought that was a pretty nice gesture on her part!

Pailin is simply excellent! She is professional, funny and helpful

she was really friendly, knew a lot about the City and was really fun to be with. I think the Tour ist underrated. I only can recommend it.

It was amazing! Thank you for offering this amazing way to get to know Chiang Mai!

Jakkrit is a very witty and well spoken guide. If you’re Interested in Buddhist philosophy he’s you guy.

Jakkrit is a badass, we explore with him the main temples in Chiang Mai but not only that, he told us about the history of Thailand and Buddism, added his own perspective, Jakkrit will be the best guide you can have here in Chiang Mai.

Jon was friendly and brought the city to life with stories about Buddhism, local history, and even glimpses into his own life. His energy and kindness made the whole experience feel personal and unforgettable.

Pailin knows so much about history and not just limited to Chiang Mai but she could relate and compare many things in the tour to other countries for perspective. We visited two temples where she showed us things like ringing the bells which I wouldn’t have otherwise done on my own and taught us a lot about Buddhism. It took me a little while to get used to her accent because she speaks quite fast but her English is otherwise very good and later on I had no problems. We didn’t visit any markets like it says in the description, but that would probably be better in a separate tour anyway because otherwise you’d need even longer. She gave lots of recommendations at the end for food and markets in town. It was a bit long but there‘s just lots to learn about. I really enjoyed the tour.

Pailin was a wonderful guide! She kept everyone engaged with her inside tips and info as well as jokes. She also spoke in Spanish for the Spanish visitors as she is learning the language. She was a adorable and caring guide. Bought everyone fruits at one point. At the end of the tour she gave us a whole laundry list of places they could visit for specific purposes that tourists usually look for. Highly recommend.

Pailin was excellent!! She was so knowledgeable and informative. We got a real sense of the city of Chiang Mai. Even though it was a big group, she was able to keep everyone together. It was 100% worthwhile.

TJ was a great guide and showed us local food and market.... Definitely worth the time...would highly recommend.

Tui's bike tour is so much fun!

We really enjoyed the tour, it was super informative and entertaining. Getting used to her English might take you a few minutes but we highly recommend the tour. Thank you so much!

A great little tower of the old city..

I had an amazing experience exploring Chiang Mai with Pailin as my tour guide. Her knowledge of the city’s temples, history, and Buddhist culture is truly exceptional. She explained everything with so much clarity and passion, making each stop meaningful and insightful. Pailin’s warm personality, patience, and ability to share stories in a way that’s easy to understand made the entire tour enjoyable and enriching. I left with a much deeper understanding of Chiang Mai’s heritage and the principles of Buddhism. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a thoughtful, informative, and memorable temple tour in Chiang Mai

Abbiamo avuto 4 ore di passeggiata con Pailin che non si è mai fermata😃 Preparatevi ad elaborare tanta informazione nuova, siate anche pronti per l’inglese thailandese (che non è sempre facile). In generale è piaciuto molto, consiglio☀️

Nos encantó el tour. La guía simpatiquísima, encantadora y la más profesional que nos hemos encontrado en Tailandia. Nos transmitió la historia y su amor por Chiang Mai i su cultura a la perfección. Muy detallista cuando nos invitó a degustar unas delicias de coco a todo el grupo. El tour fue completo más de 3 horas. La recomendamos sin duda.

I joined tour for couple of minutes, but from the start it looked a bit messy. Guide language was a bit hard to understand, overall organisation a bit chaotic. And info she started to tell us sounded not well prepared. And worst - if tour is is english language, there is no need to show off your spanish skills only because few people in group are spanish.

What a great walking tour this was! Pailin was lively, passionate and very knowledgeable. Her love for her country and region made the whole experience genuinely wholesome and unique. Add to that her cheeky sassiness and sense of humor and you get the perfect historical tour experience… :) highly recommend

Advice to all travels. Do your Guru walk as the first thing you do when you arrive at a new city. Gives you a great sense of the city. You will find a lot of good tips for the rest of your trip. Food/restaurants and other non- tourist spots to visit.

Pailin has an excellent sense of humour and a wealth of knowledge. Her tour is excellent. Highly recommend!

Super cool tour! We learned a lot about buddhism and the temples in chiang mai! It was very interesting and deep, but also funny.
