5.00We went to 3 temples which were amazing. The tour operator kept in touch with us through out the booking. When the palace tour was cancelled due to the Queen Mother’s sad passing they rearranged the tour and kept us informed. Nook our guide who was very passionate and dedicated to Buddhism was a fantastic lady who has great knowledge and experience and explained the history of Thailand, its kings and Buddhist beliefs gave a very informative tour. I highly recommend this tour and a massive thank you to Nook for sharing your knowledge with us.
This tour is a must on your list of things to do

5.00We highly recommend this tour. Our guide, Betty was lovely! She was so knowledgeable and explained much of the history of the palace and monuments. We learned a lot----and she's a great photographer! This tour was a great way to see a lot in a short period of time and learn important history.

5.00This tour is a great way to see these 3 major monuments and there is also a short boat ride included. Our tour included a guide and she did a very good job of showing us around and arranging tickets. The tour finished a 1pm and we asked our guide to drop us off at Shanghai Mansion instead of taking us to our hotel which they were happy to do. Many Thanks Graham
Private tour worth every penny!

5.00We took a private tour with Oddi, our local guide, which is the only way to go. She gave us undivided attention and shared valuable information. We were picked up at our hotel in a nice, air-conditioned car, plus cold water offered. We were not able to see the Grand Palace due to the passing of the Queen Mother but the Wat Traimit was substituted which houses the Golden Budda--truly a sight to see. Then on to Wat Arun, where the temples featured a mix of Chinese and Buddhist architecture and decoration. This temple requires a lot of walking around the grounds, plus we climbed one of the spires, which has very steep stairs with no handrail, so be careful if you attempt this. The final stop was Wat Pho, home to the Reclining Budda. For this tour, be prepared for a lot of walking on fairly level ground. We recommend wearing slip-on shoes and socks.
Nice tour! Efficient and only 3 hours.
