It is not worth the high price q costs. The tribes we've seen were 4 Akha ladies who sold us trinkets harassing us. At the next stop two stalls with clothes and two ladies who changed their clothes as we arrived.Best of the day the temple with the bamboo buddha and food on top of the mountain. We didn't even go to the fish cave to see the monkeys xq being aggressive did not recommend it our guide, and step to get along although we paid x it. Summarizing a tour scam. I don't recommend it at all.
Thank you for your comment. We would like to clarify that the Fish Cave and the monkey area have not been part of this tour since October 2025, following our partner’s safety recommendations. This change was implemented immediately on Viator and Tripadvisor, and the updated tour description was officially communicated by Viator. Following an investigation with the Viator team, it was confirmed that the reseller website through which the excursion you purchased did not update the content accordingly, which unfortunately led to confusion. This discrepancy was therefore the responsibility of the reseller platform. Regarding the hill tribe visits, these take place in real villages, and there is no obligation whatsoever to purchase any items. As with many cultural visits of this nature worldwide, local residents may offer handicrafts to visitors, which is a long-established and voluntary practice and part of the experience. All other elements of the itinerary were delivered as described, including the private guide, private vehicle, meals, and scheduled visits. While we understand that expectations can differ, describing this excursion as a “scam” does not accurately reflect the service provided. Asian Trails Team
