A first experience with temples in Thailand
The tour was very interesting and a great experience. You can join without any worries. Our guide James gave helpful and clear explanations at every place we visited. My family and I are very thankful to him.
The tour is 100% recommended, could not have been better. From pick up to drop off, our guide was very helpful and funny. A great tour.
Super convenient hotel pickup in a very comfortable van. Ploy (our guide) provided us with very relevant information about the places we visited (Chinatown, Wat Pho and Grand Palace). She even had us sample some food from the market in Chinatown. At the end of the tour we went to a nice restaurant for some Pad Thai and Mango sticky rice. Super! I would recommend this tour. It was just the right length in August because it was warm and you're outside quite a bit.
Great tour with our great guide James. We could see all the major sights while James told us exciting background and details. He knew exactly where to take the best photos, and we could easily avoid queues. It was nice to hear from a local guide with excellent English not only about the history but also about life in Bangkok. Clear recommendation for the tour - and especially for James.
Thank you for your feedback! We’re delighted James’s knowledge, guidance, and local insights made your tour smooth, informative, and enjoyable. It’s wonderful to hear you had a great experience with him.
