Great Tour - This tour was very informative. My tour guide X was the absolute best. My husband and I learned so much about the temples and all that comes with it. It was truly something to see. I would definitely book this tour again and it would be a must that X be my tour guide. He is the best, hands down.

An afternoon with golden Buddhas and more0 - This private tour featured both an excellent driver (as the streets of Bangkok are extremely busy) and a very knowledgeable guide who explained the history and significance of these beautiful and important religious sites.

We learned a lot - We had a private tour and our tour guide and driver were excellent. The driver got us to our sites safely, and the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. Some people that weren't on our tour started eavesdropping. We were allowed to get some great shots in and the pace of the tour was great. I would recommend having Napat as your tour guide for an enjoyable, knowledgeable experience

Great Cultural Experience - My wife and I were visiting Bangkok and wanted to explore some of the cultural centers. We visited three of the most iconic temples and had a tour guide provide historical and cultural context. Our tour guide was kind and patient and even offered to take pictures of us. We appreciate him, his knowledge, and the time we spent with him. Transportation was included, so we were picked up at our hotel (picked up another couple as well), but we did not feel rushed. We were offered bottled water, which I would highly recommend. Just remember to wear conservative clothing.
