I highly recommend this tour. You are visiting smaller local Buddhist temples…very different experience than seeing the Grand Palace. The first felt very spiritual! Our guide provided a lot of history. The van was comfortable and had A/C.
Guide (Pat) was very nice and provided a lot of information about Bangkok and the temples we visited. He also accommodated our need for more time in some of the places we visited. Also gave suggestions for other activities for us to consider for the rest of our stay in Bangkok. Highly recommend Pat and this tour.
We chose this tour as it had three less common temples that were on our list but not on any other singular tour. Our guide Pat was friendly and knowledgeable. The private van travel was very pleasant. I will note this tour was a bit pricey conpared to other full day tours, but based on the sites on this list and the ease of visiting them I found this worth the cost.
