Amazing - I am not the best writing reviews but i will tell you this. Chaem was a very cool and fun guy. His tour was very well organized. Aside from the tour to the temples he showed us so much and told us about the history of every temple and had even extra material to show us. I would definitely recommend this tour to others visiting bangkok.

Loved the cruise lunch – so much good food - This was honestly one of my favorite parts of the day! The river cruise was super relaxing, and the buffet lunch was amazing. There were so many different dishes to try, and I especially loved the fresh Thai noodles and the coconut dessert – both were absolutely delicious. I’ve always wanted to try more local Thai food, This buffet was perfect! It was easy, stress-free, and everything was clearly labeled. The staff on the boat were also really kind and helpful, which made the whole experience even better.If you’re into food or just want to enjoy a chill cruise with great views, I totally recommend this tour.

If you love culture and history, don’t miss - This tour was one of the highlights of my trip!We visited the Grand Palace, Wat Arun (the Temple of Dawn), and the impressive Buddha statue at Wat Paknam. Every stop was full of cultural and historical value. The English-speaking guide was professional and very passionate—he explained the meaning behind the buildings, murals, and temple stories in detail. I could really feel how rich Bangkok’s cultural heritage is.The driver and guide were also very friendly and welcoming throughout the day. If you're interested in history, architecture, and meaningful travel, I highly recommend this experience. Bangkok is more than just shopping—it's a city with depth and stories waiting to be discovered.

Not Your Average Tour! - This was such an amazing experience, full of rich culture and history. I really appreciated the guide’s hospitality, professionalism, and friendliness—even his deep knowledge of local markets, temples, and palaces blew me away. Honestly, words just can’t do it justice! The cruise was exceptional—super cool with great food—and my guide mentioned it’s an exclusive deal only his company offers. I feel so lucky I chose this tour. It was a fantastic experience, and I totally recommend it!

This is a Must-Try! - I recently visited Bangkok and had a wonderful experience. Unsure of whom to trust, I booked through TripAdvisor. It was absolutely worth it. I was pleasantly surprised by the five-star service—I had a great driver and an incredible guide who was highly knowledgeable and provided clear insights about the three temples we visited. Since I informed the sales team that I am a vegetarian in advance, I was especially grateful that they arranged a special veg lunch for me when I arrived at the cruise. The cruise itself was spacious, and the views on both sides of the river were stunning. I love Bangkok, and I truly loved this experience!

Temples tour - Good sights to see just felt really rushed with our tour guide, who constantly would said say hurry up let’s go! Also for vegetarians the food on the boat was very limited, as must things had fish sauce. Would be nice to taste Thai food without it.
