Great historical context - Our tour guide Sun was great in telling us about the temples in detail - down to the age of the tiles. Way better than attempting to see the Wats solo given all the layers of meaning and history Sun was able to tell us about with professor-level knowledge. Also super funny and gave us really good tips on where to go in Bangkok.

Good tour plus an excellent tour guide - Our tour guide Nida was very professional, pleasant and very knowledgeable. She went out of her way to assist us with our requests and made sure to check that we are getting a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend her as a tour guide.

Absolutely Loved This Temple Tour - Sun is a sweet and well informed guide. Her joyful spirit and love of her home country made this must visit Thai temples experience a fabulous adventure into Thailand culture. Highly recommend this tour because we were led to just the right spots and highlights and taught the significance of important aspects of each site. Would follow Sun anywhere she gives tours she’s just that great!

Special tour - Was special to go to Wat Pho during Thai new years celebrations. Guide showed us things we wouldn't have known had we gone alone.

It was a very nice tour... - It was a very nice tour with a great guide, we enjoyed it a lot.. We would recommend, if you can, go at sunset time

Great Tour - Great tour of the temples! Our tour guide gave a great tour and taught us about the history of the temples.

Great walk around impressive temples. - We went on the 4pm tour and met at the Gellato shop. That is worth a visit if you get there early for the air con and a refreshing drink. You can also buy cheap cover up trousers nearby if you are wearing shorts. Met by our guide Noy (make sure you have some id with you). A nice man who had had plenty to tell us about the temples as we went around. His English was very good and a he had a fun sense of humour. Both temples are impressive but built in very different styles. The 2nd temple at sunset was beautiful but is popular with the locals in traditional dress taking photos. They are trying to replicate a popular film set there. Finished about 6.30pm, Noy got us on a boat to take us back to the train station. Well worth a visit, thanks Noy!

Good choice for first time visitors - Tour guide, Nancy, was engaging and fun. Just the right amount of info and walking around. Started on time and ended promptly.

Beautiful sights with a very lovely tour guide - Our guide was so friendly, and taught us a lot! He was also happy to help us take some great photos.

“Mr. Thai” guide was the absolute worst. - Tour name: Wat Pho & Wat Arun Walking Tour - 3 Hrs(Small Group Tour) Tour Company: TripGuru Tour Guide Name: Kul Shupadungsak (although he wanted us to call him “Mr. Thai”). The tour was supposed to cover the highlights of wat pho and wat arun. The overall experience was really horrible. We started the tour with wat pho temple, and the guide had no idea what he was talking about (he literally said wrong things, that I was checking and correcting using a book guide I had with me). He took us to the most important monument of wat pho, the reclining Buddha, and he just said “it’s 15x70 meters, now you can take pictures. You have 20’.” Literally no information on what the Buddha represents, why it was build, the decorations of the feet, nothing. After this we go to another main attraction, the phra Ubosoft of wat pho, and he lets us know that it’s closed “although it shouldn’t be”. I get angry and tell him that it’s his responsibility to know when monuments are open. He then gets cranky and tells me it’s not his fault and if I want to go I can go. Very aggressively. We decide to stay, finish the tour and start heading out. At the door I found an employee of wat pho, and I decided to ask her how come the phra temple was closed. She said it’s actually open. Confused, I ask the guide if by any chance he made a mistake, because the staff claims that it’s open. He gets cranky again and says that the tour of wat pho is finished and he has no more time. We asked if we can go back and check it out, but instead he decided to proceed with the tour and leave us there. The end of the story is that he didn’t even know WHERE THE DOOR OF THE PHRA UBOSOFT WAS, and the door that was “closed” was actually a side window. The entrance was in the back. I’m guessing he never in his life went to wat pho, as this temple is literally one of the two main attractions?? Nonetheless we were left there without even being able to finish the tour, and with the first half done by someone who had no idea what he was saying. I do have to say that TripAdvisor luckily took full responsibility for the troubles, and the entire price of the tour was reimbursed in less than 48hours. Still I wanted to let everyone know that if by any chance you decide to take this tour, and you end up with “Mr. Thai” as a guide, you should try to change days because we completely lost all of our afternoon.
