Fantastic Tour and Guide - The tour was well worth it. Kudos to our guide, Pasith kasuya, who was very lively, knowledgeable and entertaining. Given the heat and humidity of Bangkok in May, the half-day tour was just right for a little cultural immersion. Bangkok is a beautiful and culturally rich city and I would definitely want to visit Thailand again.

Grand tour with Ting - Our guide Ting was prompt, attentive and friendly. It was packed, hot and busy but he was able to cover a lot and tried to accommodate everyone. Covered a lot of temples and provided helpful information. The gem factory was not necessary but we truly had a good time.

Impressive size of Buddha statue - The different Buddhas and the size sof the reclining Buddha. The sites were very impressive , but the government should regulate the people, there were to many tourists and some were not very respectful with clothing, photos and to others

Wonderful tour guide!! - Chanin was the absolute best tour guide. He arrived at our hotel ahead of time. Clearly he’s an experienced guide as evidenced by his pre-planning and his historical knowledge of the temple's. The love he has for his country and religion shone for all to see. We really enjoyed ourselves!!

Wonderful tour of many temples! 😄 - Get ready because you are going to see a lot in a short period of time and it will be awesome! Jackie, our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and resourceful. There is much to see and we were lucky that when we visited, certain sites were only open that day and closed the rest of the year. We were able to visit different sites in a small group setting that allowed us to wonder as desired and move from templete to temple as a group. Be mindful of wearing appropriate clothing because you may not be let in otherwise. Overall, grateful to Jackie for making this an awesome experience for us!

Nasty surprise at end of tour - The tour itself was very good and our tour guide Reno was excellent! Full of information about not only the temples, but Bangkok/Thailand in general - and he was very engaging and funny. However, the tour ended at a gemstone factory which was completely unexpected and definitely not included in the advertised itinerary. Free shuttle bus service was offered from there back to our hotel. The temples/palace were about 20 min. from our hotel, but the ride back from the gemstone factory took 65 min. What a waste of our vacation time - very disappointing!

Bad guide - Places we went to were as expected but the guide was terrible. Did not know what he was talking about, only mumbled a few things at each place, lost people all the time as he did not get instructions on where and when to meet. Also we were supposed to be an English speaking tour but we were joined with a Romanian group and their interpreter talked over our guide all the time. Just a horrible day.
