Wonderful Tour! - Nancy from Trip Guru was wonderful, full of knowledge and wicked sense of humour! I enjoyed myself very much. She takes care of her group, ensuring they follow the rules of the temples, take pictures of the important Buddhas and stay hydrated with delicious coconut water!

Highly recommend! - What a wonderful tour of Wat Pho & Wat Arun. I took the 3pm tour, and the weather was around 35c (95f) and sunny, with a wonderful tour guide named Sun. What to expect on the tour: First, you will meet at a very easy to find location, nearby Wat Pho, and you will begin the tour. You provide the tour guide with cash for the entrance fees for both areas (500baht total) and they will go and buy the ticket for you. After you enter Wat Pho, you begin the guided tour. At Wat Pho, the tour guide will stop at important locations throughout the palace, giving history and pointing out significant architectural motifs. We spent about an hour and a half walking around Wat Pho, with about half of that time being free time to roam around ourself. To get to Wat Arun, you must cross the river, the tour guide makes this a seamless experience by buying the boat ticket (included in trip cost), and guiding you onto the boat, for a quick 2 minute ride across the Chao Praya. At Wat Arun, the tour guide will give a brief history lesson about the palace, and then allow you to explore it and to take as many photos as you'd like. The steps are quite steep at this palace, with no handrails to help you up. Our tour guide, Sun, was very knowledgeable, funny, and overall made it a very good experience for our whole tour group. She's open to answering any questions, and you can tell she does the job because she likes sharing the history and culture of Thailand. Important to note: the heat & sun of Bangkok is unavoidable, so bring water with you. Also, there is a dress code for the temples (women must have their knees and shoulders covered, men can wear shorts). Also, to enter some of the temples you must take off your shoes and walk around either barefoot or in socks. I recommend taking the 3pm tour, as this allows you to miss the midday sun, and also get to see the sunset. I'd highly recommend this tour!

Great history knowledge - Our guide, Suntaree ( Sun) was fantastic. Her knowledge of the history of the temples made it much more interesting. I would definitely recommend Sun as a guide and happy that I chose a guided tour.

Tour guide Nancy shared lots of interesting history as we talked through the two temples. - Small group tour that stayed on time. Guide was very knowledgeable, sharing lots of history as we walked. Good combination of walking with the group and independent time in the temples.
