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!
Otherwise known as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, this is one of the largest and most impressive temple sights in Bangkok. We’ll marvel at the 46-metre Buddha statue made entirely of gold leaf before exploring the attractive grounds. An endless sea of mosaic stupas make Wat Pho quite unlike other temples in the capital – little wonder it’s a UNESCO-protected site.
Named the number 1 landmark in Thailand on TripAdvisor, there’s no excuse for missing Wat Arun. This religious complex, also called the Temple of Dawn, is known for its dreamy white spires that can be seen for miles around. The best way to reach it is by hopping on a riverboat from Wat Pho, giving you the chance to soak up the scenery as we travel between the two.
Ohm was a great guide, super informed on Thai history and culture, and answered all (my one million) questions with ease. The pick up/drop off was also well planned. Really enjoyed it, 5/5 experience.
Nancy was our guide and she was amazing and explained everything so well. Thank you
Highly recommend this tour!! We ended up being the only two in our group so we had the best private tour experience. Our guide, Nancy was fun, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make sure we got the most out of our time!
I loved my guide Michael !!! He was so funny, sweet, and knowledgeable :) Also, he makes sure you get all the great angles and pictures (ADDED BONUS)
Aoi was great! She took really great photos and made sure that others were out of the way. Would definitely recommend! Driver Vienni was also fantastic.
Excelente, our guide (Atii) was very nice and kind with us the whole trip. She take Great photos also and helps you with everything you need.
I did not have a lot of time in Bangkok and this tour allowed me to see and learn a lot more than I ever would have on my own. Fern was a great guide and introduced me to the local history and culture.
Super Tour, friendly and competent tour guide and driver, good service ,very professional. Absolutely recommendable
Nancy was very friendly and told us a lot about culture, history and explained wonderfully about the temples. It’s a very good tour, very informative.
We just did the Bangkok: Wat Pho and Wat Arun Guided Walking Tour (booking No. 41HFOBDSF6LY) with Pranee aka Nina and it was spectacular. The temples were absolutely beautiful and Pranee explain and show us the beauty of these temples and she e palin the history and art behind them! She was also extremely funny and make the experience amazing!
Great experience with Nina, very kind and attentive guide. The tour was slow paced and very enjoyable, enough time to thoroughly see everything. Booking: SU4RSRURPTTM
Nina was a great tour guide. Lots of history. Enjoyed all the information and history she gave. Althought it was hot we tried to make the best of it. Make sure to be ready for the heat lol
Boon was great and very informative and took us to a variety of temples in half a day and showed us the city of Chang Mai very well
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.
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.
Three important temples of Bangkok in half a day - well organized, knowledeable tour guide - my recommendation.
Great option for a half day tour… our guide Belle was great, very knowledgeable and accommodating … the reclining Buddha is impressive!
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!!!!
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.
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!!!!
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.
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.
Nicki was so nice and has sooo much knowledge, it was just me and her on this tour. Saw some lovely sights, a short trip that fit in perfectly with my day. Once again nicki was brill
Thanks to Jacky for doing this trip for us he was over incredible with knowledge and information about sights. He also took incredible pictures just like you will see on Instagram
Excellent trip for my family and friends🤗. No hassle at all, Thank you Trip Guru for this wonderful trip of us. Also the best tour guide ever Ms. Thar 👑👏 she was nice and very approchable, 10 star for you and the team from trip guru. Will definitely recommended them. We had the best day on our entire tour. Thank you very very much. Well satisfied❤️❤️😍
We are very lucky for having a nice and humble tour guide. Really love you Nuch😘 She really nice and give so much effort to take beautiful picture for us. Very recommended.
The guide Tar was very friendly and spontaneous. She told me about the history of the each temple. It was perfect!
The tour was perfect and our Guide Jacky was amazing he was so friendly, professional and told us the important things. Thank you for the great tour!!
Had a great day with Tar as our guide. She is very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Tar made myself and another couple (who were great fun) so welcome and was always on hand to take photos and videos of us. The temples were really beautiful and worth seeing. An early start meant it wasn't too busy at each which was fantastic for taking great photos. Well recommended. Thanks again Tar for your hospitality! Jackie
A lovely tour that I highly recommend. Rose, the tour guide was excellent. I was the only one in the tour that day and Rose provided ample information and shared a lovely conversation about topics that interested me. I highly recommend this tour!
Jacky is the best! He was very knowledgeable and tour is very informative. He was also very patient taking our pictures. This is a highly recommended tour for those who are restricted with their time in Bangkok. Two thumbs up!!!
Our small group tour turned into a private tour as my husband & I were the only people booked on the tour, so we were very happy! Due to this the tour company was able to customise our start time to our schedule. Our tour guide Nancy was great! She had good local knowledge, was easy going & had a good sense of humour. Overall great option for a layover in Bangkok.
Great tour and the tour guide was knowledge. The tour guide was accomdating and try his best to make everyone feel comfortable.
Great Trip comunication about pickup was good, the guide was very informative about the temples and also about Thai history. Guide also took Great photos as well
"The Best" were the words uttered by our tour guide whenever he likes to commend our poses when we were taking photos. Just like the accomodation, it was the best! Everything seems to be so easy for us as 1st timers here in thailand.histprical views and landmarks were explained very well and the your guide were so nice! All the best for the team!
The 3 temples we visited were beautiful and the tour guide (Mr Dusit) knows a lot of things about Thailand and gives very good hints about Bangkok, I really liked this half day tour. We were just 3 guests, everything was very good, it was not difficult to find out the meeting point near Mo Chit BTS and the tour was with an air conditioned car.I really recomend Mr Dusit guide ! Marco from Italy
Had an amazing time goimg around the temples in Bangkok. My tour guide Sammy and tour driver Boy were very accommodating and polite all throughout the trip. Sammy provided all the information i needed to know so i can go around Bangkok with more confidence. Also, I truly appreciate him offering to take photos/videos for me. Wonderful experience with Trip Guru!!!
We had a really nice day! Bonnie is the best guide ever. She is relaxed and very helpful. This is a tour you can’t miss when you are in bangkok!!!
It was a great experience. Our guide Iddy was one of the best we had here in Thailand. He explained everything to us in detail, answering all our questions.
Was fun and educational, with fine guide Nancy. Seen and heard a lot. Beautiful buildings and style. Highly recommended, as an excursion.
The tour was very nice. These temples should definitely be seen. Jacky, our tour guide was very nice and explained a lot to us. Since I traveled alone I was very pleased that he was so nice and took a lot of photos of me. Can definitely recommend this tour.
