Chiang Mai Private Tours

Chiang Mai tours, Chiang Mai private tours, personal tours, ToursByLocals
The best way to experience Chiang Mai is with your own private tour guide from ToursByLocals. Our local guides have created suggested tour itineraries that will help you see Chiang Mai's cultural and natural wonders. However, feel free to ask them if there is something special you want to see or do.

Your private tour guide is waiting to show you Chang Mai's some over 300 Buddhist temples (called "wat" in Thai), including the most famous one, Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep. And nearby are the national parks of Doi Inthanon, the highest mountain in Thailand, Doi Suthep and Opkhan.

Choose from the Chiang Mai tours offered by ToursByLocals, but feel free to suggest alternative places and activities. Your private tour can be customized by your personal guide to include exactly what you want to see and do in Chiang Mai.
Tour Guide Legal Requirements
The Tourist Authority of Thailand (TAT) requires that all tour guides attend a training course and pass a series of tests before they will issue a license. The length and breadth of the course will depend on what kind of license the guide wants to get. Some licenses cover only specific areas e.g Bangkok or Northern Thailand. Other licenses cover the whole of Thailand. For example, a pink license requires a 3 month course and covers Chiang Mai & Northern Thailand.

All official tour guides must have a license before they can work for a tour company or as a freelance guide. Guides who do not have a license are not endorsed by the TAT and are therefore working illegally. report error

All ToursByLocals guides have met our ToursByLocals Guide Requirements which includes warranting that they can legally give the tours they offer.

  THE TOURSBYLOCALS DIFFERENCE
  • You choose the ACTUAL PERSON who will give your tour. See their photo, bio, credentials and communicate with them in advance via our website. They are locals, living in the same area as the tour.
  • ONLY THE BEST GUIDES. Guides can't buy their way onto our system - each is chosen by ToursByLocals.
  • All Tours are PRIVATE, only you and people you choose.
  • Guide services are priced PER TOUR, not PER PERSON. However, there may be a 'per person' price component if the tour involves external costs such as admission tickets, etc.
  • Tours shown on website can be purchased directly - or the guide can customize them at your request.
  • Full contact information provided after booking. Plus, you'll have access to ToursByLocals 24 hour emergency contact number.
  • Looked through the site but still need advice? You can call ToursByLocals and talk to a REAL HUMAN!
