This was a wonderful tour. The pick up and drop off was seamless. Great tour guide for the long trip. Very informative and I never felt rushed. Highly recommend!
I really enjoyed visiting the White Temple, Blue Temple, and Black House in one trip. Each place had its own unique style. The guide explained the history in an easy-to-understand way.
It was a long day but never felt boring. Every stop was different, and I especially enjoyed the White Temple. The guide kept everything organized and shared interesting local stories along the way.
Very good food but it took too long; we had to ask at least 4 times.

This was just nonsense, limited to fraud. We paid for visiting salespeople, with sellers having some rings around their necks. (illusion)

Your comments are important to us, and we hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future. Best Regards, Oh-hoo Team
The guides were kind and responded appropriately, showing pictures of tourist attractions in the car. He was very fond of everyone, even in sightseeing spots, for his kindness. On the other hand, the car is not a rough ride, but it is like a Mario Kart live action version.

Good overall tour that was well paced. Enjoyed seeing the temples, taking part in Buddhist temple practice, and seeing the Karen's make the best out of their circumstances. Some members of our tour seemed to have an issue with the Karen village. Not sure why, they are a canny tribe who are doing well with business and maintaining their tribal traditions.
Thank you for your thoughtful review. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the tour, the temples, and the experience with the Karen community. We value all perspectives and hope to welcome you on another tour soon. Best Regards, Tawan Oh-Hoo Team
Great experience. You’ve probably only seeing the long neck tribe on National Geographic or some television show. They have a village right here you can go and visit ad Watch them make crafts that they sell to get money for the tribe and village. Costs roughly $8 dollars USA. While you’re there, be sure and buy some beautiful hand crafted souvenirs.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful feedback. We’re thrilled to hear that you had a great experience visiting the long neck tribe village. It’s truly special to see and learn about their culture firsthand. We appreciate you highlighting the opportunity to support the tribe by purchasing their beautiful handcrafted souvenirs. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you back for another unique experience soon. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team
Absolutely loved hill tribes and White House!!!!!!!. Didn’t care for black house or blue temple much. Too long of driving and had a 13 hour day. If you just took people to Tribes and White House it would be perfect. Loved the tour guide so much. A heart of gold! Driver was great!
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a great time with the tour guide and driver, and we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words. Your suggestion about focusing more on the Hill Tribes and White House is very valuable, and we’ll keep it in mind as we look to improve future itineraries. Thank you again for your thoughtful review, and we hope to welcome you back for an even better experience next time. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team
