Noel Stubley, United Kingdom Aug 16/11 Very Good friendly guide, excellent english. Great assistant guide "Kin". Plenty food and unique experience. Recommended TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thanks for your feedback and glad you had a good time! Hope to see you back in Chiang Mai someday.

Todd Stonitsch, United States Aug 11/11 Wonderful guide! I did a 2day/1night tour to see the hilltribes around chiangmai. For any tour, you will always visit tribes that make part of their money with tourism there is almost no way around this unless you spend many days out of chiangmai. However, we spend the night at one tribe where yes, they did put on a show, but afterwards we all talked over beer and whiskey, we traded songs we liked, etc. It was a great time. Lowey is a lot of fun and a very good cook. TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Hi Todd! I know that these days it's hard to find a village that is untouched by tourism and I'm glad you understand that. Anyway, I'm happy you had a good time and would love to see you back in Chiang Mai some day! Lowey

Clare Tilden, Australia Mar 1/11 We had a great time. The trek up was long and tiring but was well worth the effort. The Karen village was great to see and the hospitality was second to none. Lowey was very considerate and catered to our needs. Thanks, we had fun! TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: I'm so glad you had a good time. Hope to see you again some day. Lowey

Jill Kinerson, Australia Dec 24/10 Lowie my tour guide did a fabulous job. He had good local knowledge and waited on me hand and foot. He always made sure I was feeling ok. Lowie had a fun personality and was pleasant to have around. If I could mention just one thing: it is interesting to see how primitive the hilltribe people live and its good to broaden our minds. I would recommend this tour to everyone. Thank you for all your services, Jill. TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: You are so welcome. I'm glad you had a great time and hope you come back to Chiang Mai one day. Thanks Lowey

Julia Smith, United Kingdom Oct 20/10 Lowey was a great guide who took a lot of care over our trip, eg arranged a porter to help us - we had 5 small children in our group, and he was very thorough in the planning, very responsive on email, and made the trip fun for us all. This trek shows simple village life, and was well described (it is not touristy!) and delivered. Excellent food too! Well done and thank you! TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thanks for your comments. I had such a great time with you and the kids! Hope to see you again in Chiang Mai one day...

Margaret Kinsella, United Kingdom Feb 11/10 After initial booking we had slight reservations about being able to manage the trip. We however e mailed our guide Lowey who reasured us. On first meeting we thought he was really friendly We were very lucky to have only us on the trek. Lowey was excellent with great general knowledge and forest craft. He made us feel very special the visit to the village was unforgettable and we could not have been treated better. The food situation and his friendlyness was excellent. He comes highly reccommended. TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: It was a real pleasure to take you up to the village, and I'm glad you enjoyed yourselves. I hope to be able to welcome you back to Chiang Mai someday. TOURSBYLOCALS RESPONSE: Thanks for the great review - note that all our tours are private, so there would always be only you and your party on the tour.
