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.

Great experience - A great way to see the temples. Our guide, Napat, was great! His command of English was impressive. He was so knowledgeable about the history of the temples and the royal family. We learned and had fun. His style of storytelling was compelling. Travelling between the temples in an air conditioned van was a must given the heat. We really didn’t have to worry about anything, it was all taken care of!
