    It was good to use the 'public transport' option as got to go on sky train, boat, tuk tuk etc. VERY hot on day of visit so take enough water! We didn't stop for lunch as we had a flight deadline The title of the tour is an indicator but personally we felt we saw a few too many Buddhas. Flower market was amazing and boat trip to venues gave a different perspective

    Our very nice, English speaking driver Kong picked us up punctually in the morning with a very comfortable, air-conditioned car. The trip to the sights outside of Bangkok was smooth and pleasant. He always dropped us off in front of the entrance, explained the most important things to us and was waiting for us again in the same place at a time of our choice. After visiting the most interesting temples, we had the opportunity to enjoy a very good Thai meal at our request. Then it was just as easy and pleasant to return to the hotel in an air-conditioned car. Many thanks to the driver Kong, who gave us an unforgettable day out.

    This was a great way to spend a day in Bangkok. My guide was extremely informative, and was willing to tailor the tour to meet my interests and comfort level. He also took a TON of photos, which I was not expecting but very much appreciated. I would do this again in a heartbeat!
