The tour was amazingly enjoyable. We were well informed about the history of the temples and well guided. Ms Wonghong was excellent. She took care of my family and make sure we had water and suggested great places to eat. We are seniors so she made sure we were safe in places we went. Had a great time with her.

I wanted to love this tour, but it lacked so badly. First, the tour guide barely knew any English, so she wasn’t really a tour guide at all. More of a taxi driver. She simply drove us to each location, had us walk around (pretty much self guided), & that was about it. She did take our picture for us at a few of the locations, with her phone, said she would email the pictures, then never did. So, now we don’t even have photos because she insisted on taking pictures with her phone. This tour was not worth what we paid at all. You’d be better off getting a tuktuk or taxi to each of the locations by yourself.

We had an amazing tour with Ms A in March. The temples were very quiet which we liked and it meant we could see and listen to things more. The tour should normally take around 5 hours but due to no queues or traffic it took half the time. Which was ideal to minimise contact due to Corona Virus. They were well organised and had masks plus water for us. The driver was always ready for pick-up once we’d finished each of the sites.

I went to see 3 temples in Bangkok. It was a small tour. There was 3 other people with me on the tour. I saw the golden Buda the Reclining Buda and the reclining Buda. I had to take off my shoes I went into the temple. A peaceful place to come and pray. Pretty flowers in the temples. A new experience as I have not seen many temples. The tour guide gave us a lot of information about the temples. And a bottle of water

Our tour guide Miss Supatsara Wonghong was spectacular! She was extremely knowledgable and open about the Thailand culture and religion. We enjoyed the intimate experience of having our own tour guide and driver in visiting the temples. Learned so much and we would strongly recommend this tour experience to All!
