Wowed by sleeping Buddha - Great experience and wowed by the sleeping Bhuda temple. Guide superb in his running commentary in-between sights. He took to all the sights and knowledgeable about each sight. Also gave us enough time at places we wanted.

Fascinating insight into the temples of Bangkok - A really informative and enjoyable trip led by our knowledgable and very patient tour guide, Luck. This lady has so much detail to share and it was a fascinating morning learning about the Thai culture and the seeing the beautiful temples through the eyes of someone to whom they mean so much. Thank goodness for the 'heaven' of the air conditioned transport as it was extremely hot, but we wouldn't have missed it - what an experience. Thank you, Luck, and our driver, too.

Good and informative compact tour through main temples - Very good and compact tour through 3 main temples… guide was very engaged and we got great and interesting details of what we saw! If you don’t want to tour a whole day through temples this is a really good tour! Really recommended as a private tour! Only downside was that we didn’t see the gems…
