12 Nov 2014 Our guide stepped in with very little notice to provide a genuinely mature experience for us in Chiang Mai.The highlight was that she came prepared with offerings for us to give to the monks at the ancient temple, allowing us to participate fully in the experience. In many previous UAs in different countries we have been guided rapidly around, fed with unretainable statistics and moved on to the next feature of the day. On the less happy side, not our guide's fault, the description of the day led us to believe that we would be having a meal with a local farmer / family. Instead our meal was at a commercial restaurant. The booking service repeatedly did not acknowledge our email notifications to them of change of hotel from several weeks out. We eventually got our hotel reception to phone the night before.

16 Feb 2014 We had a great day with Urban Adventures. Our guide was engaging, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. The river cruise itself was not very exciting, but we loved the other aspects of the tour.

10 Oct 2012 wonderful day, and the guide was extremely helpful and knowledgable . It was great to do the trip with someone who was a practising buddist and could tell us so much about the religion. Really recommend this as a great way to get an insight into the monks daily life. Learnt lots and was a highlight of the trip

09 Oct 2012 A wonderful trip with an excellent and obviously very much enthusiastic and committed guide. The fact that we were the only two on the trip made it even more special.

12 Mar 2012 I was the only one on the tour so it was more like a private tour and was able to spend more and less time at certain stops. We started out the morning by giving alms to the monks and learning the meaning behind it. We also made a stop for a traditional breakfast and eat with local people on their way to work. I also got to meet and get a blessing from the Abbott of one of the Wats. It was an amazing experience! Don't miss out on the opportunity to chat with the monks. I beleive they enjoyed it just as much as I did.

18 Dec 2010 Much more than a river cruise; our Thai guide took us by public pick up truck from our hotel to a temple. As a former monk for many years our guide explained at length all about the religion and traditions of Thailand, then we left alms at the temple and were blessed by a monk. The boat trip included a riverside lunch stop with local food and drink. At the flower market we saw all kinds of goods for sale, and were further informed about the supposedly edible (insects etc.) produce. Afterwards we were taken back to our hotel. We were the only participants on the trip. We liked our guide who was helpful and friendly, his English was good, but with a strong Thai accent. Telephone confirmation prior to excursion was confusing/ineffective for us, but fortunately our hotel was able to sort it out for us.
