Excellent Experience - Piya was an excellent guide. He knew so much about the history of the sites visited and the cultural context. The monkey city/temple was something that might not be up everyone's alley but it's an experience worthy having.

Just do it already - Piya was our tour guide and he was so friendly and kind and knowledgeable! I was afraid of the monkeys but he prepared us very well and had us remove jewelry and I even had a monkey on my back which ended up being so cute! He’s a master of the photos as well. They could rename this the “instagram photo tour” because he takes the BEST most memorable photos! I highly recommend this tour. So many beautiful temples too

Beautiful excursion - A great excursion, Piya our guide was extraordinary. I felt the passion and love of his country and the pleasure of transmitting it in his words. The temples are beautiful and the monkeys very "friendly". I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to spend a wonderful day.

Wow! Highly recommend - What a completely fantastic experience for a first time visitor to Bangkok who wants to get out of the city. I thought that the tour was perfectly sized (small passenger van not tour bus) well planned and well run. Our tour guide Piya was enthusiastic and knowledgeable throughout the entire 10 hour trip. I was especially glad that we had him at “the monkey” temple as he was exceptionally experienced on how to prepare and interact with the monkeys. There was another group of tourists there with no guide and one woman’s earring was actually pulled out by a monkey and hurt her on her ear while we were there. I think she didn’t know that she was supposed to remove her earrings before entering the area. I definitely recommend only going here with a guide who knows how to interact with the monkeys! (He had my wife remove her earrings before going)

Great tour overall and would highly recommend. The monkeys and the temples were amazing! - Piya (our guide) was fantastic and super outgoing/knowledgeable. Lunch was excellent and also takes Visa/Mastercard. That helped because the temple tours required cash to participate. Side note; do bring long pants as the monkey's do grab you.
