Great way to see temples! - We took the river tour to see Wat Arun and Wat Paknam on our first day in Bangkok, and it did not disappoint! Our guide Coco was excellent, and we were especially grateful to her for waiting for us as our car got us to the dock late. We learned so much from her about the temples and about Thailand. She was helpful, informative and took some great pictures for us! Experiencing the city by longboat on the river and canals was such a cool way to see the city and explore Bangkok from a unique and special POV. Would definitely recommend!

Awesome trip - Tank was an amazing tour guide! We loved the river boat and the temples. He was very informative and it felt like a true adventure. We even saw a crocodile. He also takes a great photo

Fantastic Experience along the canal - Saw a lot of canal tours and decided to go with this as it is operated by tripguru.
I went 10 minutes early to the meeting point and the tour guide was already there. The tour guide is very friendly and knowledgeable. His English is excellent and he shared a lot of history to our tour group and also how he became a tour guide.
The weather was good which makes the longtail boat ride lovely. Overall, it is well worth the price we paid.
The only thing that I didn’t realise is the fee to wat arun is not included. It was written on the page but I guess I didn’t read it properly when I booked it. It is 200 baht so it’s fine lol

Good trip - This was an enjoyable outing. I had a good time, got some good photos. Since I had the privilege of sitting next to our guide, I was able to hear & understand the points of interest she was announcing. If I were in the front of the boat, I don’t think I would have been able to hear her over the boat engine. All in all, good trip. Thank you Coco

Disappointed - The Worst experience! No safety. No life jackets for kids. Unprofessional staff. Went on the wrong boat. Had to get out and wait for an other boat. Stuff unfriendly and not helpful. Don’t recommend
