I. Loved. This. Tour. I had zero expectations for it other than my sister saying "you have to get up at 6 so we can talk to monks," but it was easily the best day we spent in Thailand. Our guide was so knowledgeable about Buddhism and Thailand in general, and was so happy and excited to talk to us about it; we could ask her anything and she always had an answer. Honestly I'm not sure quite how to describe this tour except that it was incredible and I loved it.

Great fun. Had a breakfast experience in Chinatown we would NEVER have stumbled across without the assistance of our excellent guide. Thank you!

What a wonderful way to learn about the culture and way of life in Chiang Mai. We loved it and our guide was extremely knowledgeable.

A very special experience. Our hour with a Buddhist monk opened new windows in our lives and minds. Even a fairly cynical son was touched by the wisdom of the monk. We were very grateful for this opportunity and will never forget an hour in our lives which seemed like a minute.

A very unique experience. The visit at the market, the blessing at the temple, the boat ride and the lunch along the river made this tour so special. Our guide, Buddy, is fun, knowledgeable and very attentive. I am vegan and he provided some very good food for me too with no problem. He gave us also a lot of info to make our stay in Chiang Mai even more interesting.

Great trip! I learned a lot about the fundamentals of Buddhism and the role it plays in Thai culture. My only concern was value, as the trip was roughly priced at CAD $100. I would still recommend to anyone who would like to explore the spiritual side of Thailand however!

This was the absolute highlight of my 5 days in Chiang Mai. I was lucky enough to be the only person booked on this experience so could really talk with my guide, Thongbang, who was absolutely lovely and clearly had a passion for educating people about Buddhism. We went to markets and one particular temple where there were no tourists at all so I truly got to see and experience things I just wouldn't have without Urban Adventures. LOVED it!

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.

Our guide was fantastic and really provided a culturally rich insight into the thai people and life in Chiang Mai.
