Stephanie – GermanyJuly 2, 2023 – Verified booking
The tour is ideal for seeing the highlights of Bangkok in one day. The organization was very good, we were picked up at the hotel and brought to a meeting point. From there we went with our German-speaking guide Chai by boat to the temples along the river. He was very nice and explained a lot to us about the history of Bangkok and Buddhism. After lunch we continued with a longtail boat through the canals of Bangkok. The tour is highly recommended!

Went around for the day with Mina. She was wonderful. Gave plenty of information, answered questions, gave time to take pictures, and helped with directions on how to get home when we were finished. The place for lunch she took us was delicious as well.

8 hours Bangkok, the large temple complexes, the royal palace and other sights as well as a longtail boat trip at the end. Can, our guide (German-speaking) imparted a lot of knowledge, he immediately responded to questions and requests and even small program changes at our request were fulfilled. Was a great day and yes, the price is high but worth every euro!
