Jack is very professional and experienced. What made him excellent is his ability to gather information on what you want and provide you with the best options. His understanding of... read more traffic patterns, and other variables gave him the insight to provide great suggestions, which I'm glad we followed because he was right about the best food, coffee, and views and historical sites that had the least amount of crowded tourists. We also got to see the only elephant hospital! So cool!
Jack also has an exclusive relationship with a specific hill tribe that only allows his guests to visit as if they are family. We stayed in a very clean and bamboo home, picked fresh vegetables and cooked them with our hosts and enjoyed a hot shower in the jungle. Wow. What a way to unplug and enjoy the peaceful nature!515adav
January 30, 2023We (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, 2020Jack is the kindest and warmest person we could have ever asked for as a guide. After experiencing other private tours, his was by far the one I liked the... read more most. He created a tour based on our needs. For two days we visited Sukhotai, had some wonderful temple tops on the way and even managed to visit Sanchanalai before heading to the airport the day after.
If you are looking for an adaptable and understanding your guide, this is your place. We went to see the sites we were interested in, and got to eat amazing food based on his recommendations (local Thai food, not westernised versions). On top of that, he was kind enough to take pictures of us with our phones and his camera.
Overall, these two days were a memorable experience making a new friend who I would wholeheartedly recommend for anyone looking for a knowledgeable guide, with great humour and very kind human nature.

It was a memorable exprience playing with the elephants and Jack was knowledgeable as... read more a guide but what makes him different from other guides is the little touches he throws in according to my gf wishes for instagram spots and food to eat. Even after the tour he advices on bazaar to go and restaurants we should try. His person touches is what makes the difference.
Strongly recommended for a memorable trip in chiang mai !

He is a lovely guy, good guide, safe driver, great vehicle and ammenities.
We at the last minute added on elephant (living green elephant sanctuary) tour which he was able to accommodate and combine our preferences at short notice, customising other details to suit us along the way.
We discussed our plans via email first and he was able to recommend and essentially play-it-by-ear on the day.katehE3535TK

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!

From Chang Mai, Doi Suthep, Sticky waterfall, to Doi Inthanon Hill tribe homestay and Sukhothai ancient ruin bike tour. Jack took great care of us. My favorite part was when... read more he took us to his friends house in the mountains of Doi Inthanon where we picked our vegetables for our dinner, cooked dinner with our village tribe homestay family, walked on the farm and met local hill tribe farmers, and even got to roast coffee while we were there from the local arabica plants in the backyard. After staying with the hill tribe village Chief Jack knew we wanted to see ancient ruins and recommended we bike around in Sukhothai. This was amazing since many tourists do not come here since it's farther away from Bangkok. We wanted to see Northern Thailand and we didn't really have much of a plan and good thing since Jack consulted with us about what we like and he gave us suggestions which we were super interested in and super grateful for.
Jack... What to say. Jack is super fun, very flexible, and incredibly kind. His English is very good and he showed us an amazing time around Northern Thailand in just 4 Days. I would recommend talking with Jack first before planning a super Rigid plan. Being flexible and talking with a local who has 20 years of experience in tourism in Thailand is what you get when you talk with Jack. If I could give 6 stars I would. Highly highly recommend staying overnight in Hill tribe village!!!!
Much Love Jack ️Kelandin10

From the outset he offered advice on what to wear, where to meet and places to visit.
Even suggested places to visit ourselves after the tour. Great value for money. Forget the companies that advertise on internet and contact Jack.

I am not one to write reviews, however I wanted to write this in gratitude for the wonderful tour we had this morning with Jack. I learned so much about... read more the temples that we visited and really about Thailand and Thai culture. Jack is a terrific guide and clearly a kind and generous person. The tour itself was exactly as advertised and we were able to see these temples, a tremendous sun rise, and ate amazing food. You are in very good hands with Jack. He has my highest recommendation! Thank you Jack for a wonderful and memorable day.
January 5, 2020We loved this man and his tour!! - Jack enriched our experience by being super friendly, flexible and knowledgeable. His English is impeccable, and he added a great deal of detail to our tour. I can’t recommend enough!... read more Such a lovely find for us. He took us to the temple, and knew a great deal about it. He was great with our sons, aged 7 and 14, made them laugh and feel involved. We went to eat at a local Thai restaurant that he recommended, it had a Michelin Star for the dish we were served. All 4 of us ate for 350 baht and it was divine! He then took us to the sticky rice falls, which was a ton of fun. We were with him from 7am-5pm, and he was on for the duration. If you want a private driver, you will not find a better experience. Thanks Jack!!!
