Highlights

The Golden Mount (Wat Saket) - One of the most important religious pilgrimage sights in Thailand is Wat Saket, translating as the Golden Mountain. This hillside temple features a gleaming gold chedi that is thought to contain a relic from the Buddha himself. It can be traced back to the Ayutthaya period meaning it could be up to 800 years old!

Great tour! - I had a great day on this tour, I was very lucky to have "Coconut" as my tour guide. She speaks good English, is very kind and was knowledgeable about the temples we went to and helped translate everything. She took pictures of me in all the spots too. The driver will take you close to each location and we were able to take our time to explore and take pictures.

private tour of the temples - there was no one else on this tour so it was like a private tour for us, worth every dollar and more. Pim was so knowledgeable on all the sites and was eager to share with us. we got a really deep understanding of the sites and came away from this tour completely satisfied. Thank you Pim!!!!

Great, informative but relaxed tour. - Bond was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide that was open about her own experiences as an everyday citizen of Thailand. Very helpful and personable - informative without feeling like a lecture, and happy to answer any question I could ask. 10/10.

Temple Tour including merit and Thai language help/tips - Jojo took time with me, teaching me the history of the temples, but also spoke Thai and English with me when she found out that I was learning Thai. She helped me make merit at each temple which was something I’d dreamed of doing. Fantastic trip!!!!

The Guide makes the Difference!! - Our tour of the temples was a private tour, not a small group. Our guide was Kanchana Thongbai, nicknamed “Tar”. My wife and I have traveled to more than 60 countries, and have used guides in many of them. Most of them know their country facts and most know how to show you around. So our expectation was we would have a nice tour. But Tar is not just any guide. Tar was as much the experience as the temples themselves were. Her energy, knowledge and guiding skills were super great, but what set her aside from almost every other tour we have been on was her deep seated interest in finding out what her clients were interested in. Trip Guru is just another tour company, one among many. But the reason to go with this company is for this guide: so if you want the experience we had, you have to ask for her.

Beautiful temple - Wat Arun is almost directly opposite Wat Pho, so it’s very easy to get to. From Saphan Taksin boat pier you can take a riverboat that stops at Pier 8. From here, a small shuttle boat takes you from one side of the river to the other.

Great Sites, Very Poor Guide - My son and I arranged for a three temple tour. While the temple experience was really enjoyable, the tour guide was not. I felt that we were unnecessarily rushed through the temple grounds; constantly asked if we were interested in other touring options ( boat tour, shopping, tailor tour, food tour, etc); and given the impression that the tour guide had something better to do. At the end of the “tour” I mentioned that we were hungry and wanted to pick up something for lunch. The tour guide dropped us off at a restaurant and then informed us that we would have to take a taxi back to our hotel (we had paid for hotel pick up and drop off). The real insult to the experience was the tour guide asking me to tip her as she was leaving us at the restaurant. Extremely unprofessional and disappointing.
