Prior to booking this tour, I read most of the reviews. The majority rated this tour well and I can't agree more. It is definitely worthwhile. Our tour guide, Don, picked us up in Chiang Mai and we made the safe drive to Doi Inthanon (~1½hrs). We met our trekking guide, Roti. Waterfalls, a nice educational trek which included fresh brewed coffee at the end, a delicious lunch, drive to the twin pagodas and then a quick visit to the market made this a wonderful, fun-filled day.
