Highly recommend this tour as you get to expeience local travel as well as visiting the landmarks. Our tour guide Penny was fantastic, very knowledgeable and gave enough time to enjoy the 3 areas.
I really liked the guide. The other participants had requests and she obliged, while keeping to the activity and we visited 3 temples! She showed us the diff buddhas and explained more details. I had a great time
Very good & insightful experience with this guided tour. Our guide Yui (hope i remember her name correctly) is very accommodating. She knows her craft and she is able to share the story behind the different sites we get to visit. Definitely good to explore this temple with a guided tour as we are able to appreciate the temple and the history behind it.
We opted for the 4-temple tour starting at 1 PM. Our guide, Jum, was full of energy and provided insightful information about each location we visited. She was attentive to the needs of our group of 11, accommodating all requests. If you choose the afternoon option, be sure to have lunch beforehand; otherwise, you'll be captivated by the stunning sights of the temples—you won’t be disappointed!
The tour was spectacular. All the temples were a sight to behold. Our tour guide To took good care of us. The ride with bus number one of thailand is also a great experience.
The Tour guide ,Ms Mina was very knowledgable about the history of Thailand. Very friendly and jolly all the way.
