Great Cultural Experience - My wife and I were visiting Bangkok and wanted to explore some of the cultural centers. We visited three of the most iconic temples and had a tour guide provide historical and cultural context. Our tour guide was kind and patient and even offered to take pictures of us. We appreciate him, his knowledge, and the time we spent with him. Transportation was included, so we were picked up at our hotel (picked up another couple as well), but we did not feel rushed. We were offered bottled water, which I would highly recommend. Just remember to wear conservative clothing.

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…
