It is a tremendous temple complex with a visual delight every time you turn your head. It is popular with the tour buses, but wait for the tour to move on and enjoy it. Give yourself plenty of time and you will not be disappointed.
This temple is the ancient precursor (lower on the mountain) than Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. While a little less grand than it's younger sibling, it is steep with history, reverence, and peace. Boasting beautiful views of the city of Chang Mai, it is built on a stream with a seried of waterfalls. A terrific place for meditation or simple reflection. Go!!
Wat Chedi Luang, this temple is the site of an enormous pagoda, originally 280 feet high, and was partially destroyed by an earthquake in 1545. At one time, Wat Chedi Luang housed the revered Emerald Buddha image now enshrined in Bangkok’s Wat Phra Kaew. One of Wat Chedi Luang’s most striking architectural features is a magnificent Naga staircase adorns the chapel’s front porch.

Knowledgeable guide with understandable English. It was very interesting to see the different types of temples - very elaborate and the other simple in nature. The mountain road is very twisted so if you get motion sickness be sure to take Dramamine before you go.
This tour of 3 temples was an excellent time thanks to Ooh's guidance, very interesting, attentive, and very pleasant during this beautiful afternoon. An essential tour.

C’est un plaisir de savoir que la gentillesse, l’attention et les explications de Ooh ont rendu votre après-midi si agréable et enrichissant. Merci beaucoup pour votre recommandation !
The tour operator contacted me via whatsapp a day before we were supposed to do the tour saying they didn't have sufficient numbers to go ahead and that they would give me a full refund. I replied saying that was fine, however after numerous requests for the refund on whatsapp I have received no further correspondence. I have sent 3 messages requesting the refund so far and have received no explanation for the delay, no acknowledgement of receiving my messages (2 blue ticks on whatsapp). I was notified 3 days ago about the tour being cancelled. What is going on I wonder? These experiences make me question the anonymity of platforms like viator and whether they lead to better services and experiences.

Very educational and fun and great for everyone. They were super helpful in showing us the history and the temples in a way that everyone could enjoy. There was some independent time for exploring as well.

The tour was well organised, interesting and very informative. Our guide, Jane arrived early for the meeting point and so got off to a good start. She was very knowledgable and was able to explain all the pertinent points for each wat visited. She kept the group on schedule and offered to take any photos of members of the group as required. The drive to Doi Suthep was comfortable and Jane gave us all the relevant facts of a boy undergoing the initiation ceremony of joining the monks. Doi Suthep is in a beautiful setting amongst the forest and river. Jane even arranged for us to receive a personal greeting from a monk. The trip was well worth-it and thank you to Jane for being a great guide.
