Great experience - I had a fantastic walking tour thanks to our guide Jack, who was very precise and detailed in explanations but friendly and joking at the same time. Besides explaining the wonders inside the temples, he told us very interesting facts about Thai history and culture and was more than happy to answer questions. After the tour me and few other people from the group asked him for advice on restaurants in the area. He not only gave us suggestions but also accompanied us in person to find the restaurant! Truly recommended

Amazing temple tour thanks to Nancy. - Amazing and informative tour thanks to our guide Nancy. She knew everything, her enthusiasm was contagious and she was more than happy to anwser all our questions. Nancy took the time to have us blessed by monks and really understand more about Thai Buddhism. Her good humour really made the tour memorable. Important info: The tour is only Wat Pho, Wat Arun and the ferry between the two temples. No other points of interest are visited. Still very much worth it since Nancy will take the time to teach you everything about the Temples and their significance. I took the 3:00PM tour.

Visit to two the most popular temples - What a great tour we had thanks to our tour guide. We had a nice group with several nationalities. The tour was on one of the public holidays and therefor very busy, but our guide managed to give us the best experience and a lot of information. Happy that we decided to have this tour.

Awesome day touring Temples - Great tour of temples and hearing great history of how it all started. Tank was our tour guide and he was awesome in ensuring we were safe but also made sure we saw all the great views of the temples. Thank you very much my family and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Roland

Just about average - Nancy was a super funny and charismatic guide. Her colleague kindly took a few pictures of us as well. However the explanations were minimal (Wat Arun had less than 5 minutes of explanation and we were told to walk around on our own for 30 mins), the tour only lasted 2 hours and we were forcefully asked to leave a review at the end. I suspect this is the reason for the many 5stars. This tour could easily have been done on our own with a little help from wikipedia.

Good tour itinerary, just need the right guide - The tour itinerary is very nice as you have enough time to see both temples and not feel rushed. Our guide (I think it was Thadi), while very nice and caring, was not good at giving useful information. Her English was not very good and she didn't seem to know basic facts about the temples. The tour was very lean on details. With a different guide, it would be a fine tour to take.
