Jack was really flexible, helping us put together a customised tour that suited our interests and abilities. He took us to Wat Phra That Doi Kham and the National Park, as well as Wat Pha Lat, a quieter, humbler experience but no less interesting. We enjoyed the contrast. He even patiently took us jewelly shopping!
Jack provided us with a lot of good insights. He has a great sense of humour and wonderful laugh, which really made our day.

From the moment I first contacted Jack it was a 10/10. Friendly, professional and above all: happy! We arranged our day tour to Dhoi Inthanon NP the night before and... read more Jack was at our hotel al 7am sharp the next day.
He made a nice itinerary for us but was very flexibel during the day itself. It wasn’t a problem at all if we wanted to stay longer at some spots. He also makes amazing coffee, knows a lot about the region and is more than happy to help you with giving tips about further travels in Thailand!

Jack is very warm-hearted, genuine, and sharing. His knowledge of the history of Chiang Mai is exceptional and he took us to the best of the best temples.... read more He speaks very good English. We have been to Chiang Mai many times, yet his tour of the “Old City” will be remembered forever. He also shared a “real” Thai meal with us in a restaurant that rarely sees a tourist - a new experience.
We will definitely use him again.
January 16, 2020Jack was recommended to us by friends. We booked a 2 day private tour, we visited Doi Suthep, Bua Tong Sticky waterfalls which are both amazing, climbing the waterfall... read more was a task in itself but glad we did it. Jack took us to Doi Inthanon National Park where we went trekking with Mr Charlie, we also visited a hillside tribe where my husband ground the coffee beans, one of the ladies was weaving scarfs, purchased several. Jack is so knowledgeable on the history and culture and gave us so much information on the Thai people and Buddhism. Jack has a big heart and has a wonderful sense of humour, nothing was too much trouble, we never felt rushed and would have no hesitation in booking with him again. Jack gave us recommendations where to eat, places to visit once we had finished our tour with him. During the 2 day tour Jack became our friend rather than tour guide.
March 7, 2020Jack is very accommodating and easy to talk to. I booked last minute and he responded quickly to my inquiry. He was able to make an itinerary that was kid-friendly,... read more as I was with my toddler during the tour. It was very personalized and met my specific needs.
He is also a good storyteller. Not only did he explain the history of the temples we visited, but he also told us about life in Chiang Mai in general, and his personal experiences as well.
Jack is very helpful in many ways. He helped me with carrying my kid’s stroller as some parts of the temples do not have ramps. He also helped me in suggesting what to do after the tour (which areas we can visit since our time was limited). And lastly, he helped me make our short stay in Chiang Mai very memorable.
Highly recommended!

We went on a tour with Jack to Doi Inthanon, stopping at a couple of beautiful places a long the way.
Jack is very friendly and it was... read more so much fun to converse with him about this and that while learning many things about the area and the places we would visit.
His car is super comfortable and he is a considerate driver, making us feel safe throughout the whole trip.
Overall we had a fantastic day - thank you Jack!
April 15, 2022We had the most amazing experience on this tour. It is hands down the best tour I have ever been on while on vacation! The tour guide Jack was phenomenal.... read more He was very insightful, informative, professional, and most importantly, he was fun! He made our tour so great. We felt so welcome and comfortable. I cannot recommend this tour enough. He took us to Doi Suthep which was a beautiful temple! Definitely a must see. He took amazing photos for us and showered us around while providing lots of info about the Buddhist religion. We then went to the long neck village. Jack helped us speak to a few of the women of the tribe which was amazing. We even got some great photos. This really made us feel immersed in the culture. The Tiger Kingdom was nearby and we wanted to see it as well. Jack was very accommodating and brought us there. Lastly, the sticky waterfall was to die for. Jack brought us down to a special spot at the falls to take great photos. He then let us explore on our own. We had lunch in between at an amazing authentic thai restaurant. This was the best food we have had in Thailand so far. The chef was amazing and the location was also beautiful. This tour really opened us up to the beauty of Chiang Mai. We will definitely be back for another tour.
November 21, 202210 star if it was an option. Jack was very hospitable and we became buddies right away!
I’ve been on many tours and have to say, Jack had... read more the most comfortable and clean vehicle for us it was really enjoyable to go around in all day.
The excursions that Jack took me and my girlfriend on will leave a memorable and valuable impression for the rest of my life.
I wondered a lot about the culture and without asking Jack went into details about everything I was wondering regarding their culture.
I know I will be back to Chiang Mai to meet Jack again and go on his phenomenal tour again.
The whole experience was exceptional from start to finish.
Thank you very much for the memories Jack, until next time!

We (me and my wife) definitely enjoyed our half day tour with our tour guide Jack.
The arrangement in advance was smooth, Jack suggested some key locations by email, which... read more we finally agreed on.
Jack speaks english quite well (which I cannot say about some other Thai guides).
On a tour he showed us very nice places, and also flexibly recommended some other ones, which he thought would be suitable for us. We liked them very much.
We started at 5:30 going to Doi Suthep to experience beautiful sunrise. Our tour lasted totally cca 6 hours. There was no rush on time and we felt that Jack is fully present with us. It was great that we got some background information about the temples, Thailand and it's people, buddhism, we also talked about our personal lives. I feel I would have enjoyed talking to Jack for few more days :).
Jack is an open, warm-hearted man who smiles a lot and is apparently loving his work, which he does with passion. For us, it was a refreshment after dissapointment with our guide from our tour previous day.
It was great that Jack took his own camera for photographs, and he also used our mobiles, so we have a lot of nice photos from the tour.
If I had to mention some downside, it would be that on the tour there wasn't much time just to be and enjoy the atmosphere of the places without speaking (what me and my wife enjoy doing). But to be honest, that most likely isn't our guide's fault, as we told Jack at the beginning that we would like to know a lot of interesting information, and we wanted only a half-day tour and had a lot of places to see. Nevertheless, after the first half of the tour Jack probably felt this and gave us time alone at a nice place, which was a great highlight for us.
Overall, we recommend Jack as a tour guide, and if we happen to come to Chiang Mai again in the future, we will gladly use his services.

February 14, 2020The tour was amazing and all the temples we visited were beautiful, with so much history. Jack’s exuberant personality, his advanced English, and the khao soi lunch also made this... read more tour great. I highly recommend!
January 7, 2020We spent two fabulous days with Jack during our visit to Chiang Mai. If you are looking for a guide or driver, look no further...hire Jack. He is... read more an absolute gem.
For our first day, we drove the couple of hours to Doi Inthanon in Jack's super-comfortable and spacious van. We hiked in the beautiful park with a local guide for a couple of hours, and visited the King and Queen pagodas. We also went to a beautiful waterfall. Perhaps the highlight of the day, though, was the lunch we had with Jack's friend Mr Charlie and his wife. They graciously welcomed us into their beautiful bamboo home in a small hill village, and made us lunch from delicious fresh vegetables picked that morning from the farm where they grow crops for The Royal Project. They were such lovely people and it was an incredible experience...do not miss this if you have the opportunity.
The second day Jack picked us up early to drive to Doi Suthep before sunrise. I highly recommend this. The temple is beautiful in daylight, but simply breathtaking before dawn. It is still pretty quiet there at that time of day, and watching the sun come up over the city was lovely. We then visited two other lovely temples (Wat Phalat and Wat Umong) before wrapping up with delicious Khao Soi at a local restaurant. Try not to eat anything for breakfast and hold out for this delicious (and filling) meal.
Jack is patient, relaxedand flexible. He has a great smile and an infectious laugh. When we return to Chiang Mai we won't hesitate to book more time with him. Sabai sabai Jack...until next time!
