Great fun and well worth it - Very easy to book and was a great walking introduction to Bangkok, nice small group and Kiwi our guide was knowledgeable and really great fun, the tour at nearly 4 hours was not at all difficult considering the heat and humidity, and Kiwi gave us the choice of how to get from one attraction to the next if a bit of a distance, such as by boat for the longer parts or, as our group chose a tuc tuc ride which was wonderful, well worth it and great fun

Great fun and worth it - This was a walking tour, we checked in at River City Bangkok and was met by our guide Kiwi, she was excellent and gave us just enough info about the temples and palace to ignite our curiosity. Easy to book and although the early start of 7.30am (half an hour before the tour start) the four hours flew past, Kiwi made sure we chose which mode of transport we took first each leg of the tour which in our group included the river boats and tuk tuks, great fun.

Perfect tour and great experience - Phillip was my tour guide and he was great (even found me when I lost the group oops). Really for first day in Bangkok, this tour was perfect. Saw 3 most famous things in half a day and it was timed perfectly. We took water cruises, a public bus, and a tuk tuk so we got to experience the transit without stress and also walk around a lot. The guide explained everything super well and took great pics too.

Good - Just had the chance to visit 3 temples in one day, and I have to say, I’m feeling so blessed and peaceful! 💖🙏 Starting with Wat Phra Kaew – it’s absolutely stunning from every angle. Walking around the Grand Palace made the whole experience even more sacred ✨ Next up, Wat Arun – the towering spire by the Chao Phraya River was breathtaking, and the breeze made it so refreshing. Perfect spot for photos 📸 Finally, Wat Paknam – I was amazed by the crystal-clear glass pagoda. It felt like being in another world, and the peaceful atmosphere was so calming 💎 If you haven’t tried a One Day Trip to these 3 temples yet, I highly recommend it! You’ll leave feeling spiritually fulfilled and with lots of beautiful photos to remember it by 🥰"
