**⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chiang Mai Old City & Temples Tour with Nana – A Must-Do Experience!**
I highly recommend the **Chiang Mai Old City and Temples Guided Walking Tour** on Klook! Our guide, **Nana**, made the experience truly exceptional. She was a **wealth of knowledge**, sharing fascinating insights about the history, culture, and significance of each temple we visited.
Nana’s **positive energy and enthusiasm** kept the tour engaging from start to finish. She **patiently answered all our questions** and went out of her way to ensure everyone had a great time. Her passion for Chiang Mai’s heritage was contagious!
The tour itself was well-paced, covering stunning temples like **Wat Chedi Luang and Wat Phra Singh**, while also allowing time for photos and quiet reflection. Walking through the ancient streets with such an expert guide made the history come alive.
If you’re visiting Chiang Mai, **don’t miss this tour**—especially if you’re lucky enough to have Nana as your guide. **5/5 stars!** 🌟

Fun night out. Very touristy location but the fights very mostly entertaining. You can see different levels of expertise from pretty amateur to expert fighters in one night. They open every night except Sundays. Doors open 1 hour before. I highly suggest doing VIP or Grandstand seats but come early to get best of the fights.
