    Not value for money
    I was rushed around I think more to facilitate the same guide doing the same tour in the afternoon. Just not value for money, wouldn't do this again. We met all the criteria but just not satisfied compared to the experience I had the night before on the tuk tuk tour...

    Nice tour but pricey compared to other tours
    Pat was our guide for the day. We received an email informing us that we would be picked up at 09:00 but Pat arrived at 08:00 to our hotel. Luckily we were ready, but clearly a communication problem as we both had emails with the different times. Lovely whistle stop tour of 3 temples. Pat was very knowledgeable.

    Private tour
    My husband was on the fence on doing a private tour, but it was worth every penny!! It was extremely hot in Bangkok when we did this, and doing the tour kept us cool between the temples. Our guide Wan was so sweet and informative, and gave us the best recommendation for lunch in Chinatown afterwards. Definitely recommend doing this!

    Bangkok Temples tour with Pat was really good fun
    The Three Temples half day tour was great-and made super special by our guide, Pat, who was funny, charming and informative in equal measure. He made us feel very comfortable, he is a very fluent English speaker. We would highly recommend him as a guide for the Three Temples Tour.

    Bridge Over River Kwai Day Tour
    It was a long day commencing with a hotel pickup at 6.30am and return around 4pm as the Bridge Over River Kwai is nearly 2 hours by road from Bangkok. We toured the war cemetry, Jeath war museum, the Bridge Over River Kwai and spent nearly an hour travelling on a train on the famous railroad. The tour also included a long boat ride on the River Kwai which was a bit of a thrill as the long boat reached speeds over over 20knots. A nice buffet lunch was also provided. If you are interested in history and you like to see a pictureque part of Thailand then this tour could be for you.

    Great day out and would highly recommend
    Absolutely stunning and worth a visit, even if you are not religious. I dont understand the comments from negative people about "tourist trap" etc.... did they actually think they would get the temple to themselves? We booked a private trip and guide and got there early and minimal wait time, less than 10 mins to get in. The architecture and effort that has gone into building this is amazing. Most people very respectful when you are taking images for insta or whatever and plenty of opportunities. On site store was very reasonably priced too. For us, it was a great day out and would highly recommend.

    There are better ways to spend a day in Bangkok
    There was nothing wrong with the tour guide. Good English, compassionate, happy to take photos for you and accomodate requests, however the day itself is just far too long. Unless you are bored senseless and have spent weeks in Bangkok, don't do this: seriously just stay by the pool, have some drinks or get some massages, this day will take everything out of you. You will reach the bridge after a 2 hour car ride and 10 minute boat ride down the Kwai. The tour should end there IMO. Afterwards you ride a train for an hour eat some lunch and see a cave which takes another 4 hours. This was a 14 hour long experience just to see a bridge. We had to wait 30 minutes for the train which is a 1.2 hour train ride OUT, not a loop. Our train brokedown halfway there and we had to wait 40 minutes for a new engine to come get us. This was out of the guides control but it just added to an already really long day that started at 6am. The lunch buffet and view was pretty good, however the ride back is THREE hours long to bangkok. The thing I will say is that the tour guides should have dropped me at my hotel first because I was the cloest one coming back from the bush. You can't imagine the cruelty I felt as after 12 hours on this trip I saw on google maps my hotel was only 2 minutes away, only for the driver to drop the people on the other side of town first meaning i had to spend another one hour and ten minutes in the van until they dropped me off last at SEVEN pm at night. This made absoloutely no sense to me. Unless this bridge means a lot to you, the experience itself is not worth the commitment of this huge trip.

    Lovely place
    This was the first time I ever visited a 3D art centre. The experience was awesome. I really enjoyed every corner and every painting. The pictures were so realistic and the app made it even more interesting by making it live. All those visiting will be asked to download the app before you enter to see the 3D art live. Take your time and enjoy the place. You will love it.

    Amazing view of Bangkok
    We couldn't get to the glass tray because of storms but the indoor observation floor was still worth the admission. There were interactive computer stations that really helped understand the development of the area. We arrived late and the deck was pretty crowded with few seats available but despite the storms, the views were still amazing. The architecture of the building is amazing on it's own and a must see if only from the outside. And the elevator was a special treat. It showed you how fast you were going (VERY fast) with the smoothest ride ever.

    This tour is worth doing if you have a day to spare in Bangkok and are interested in history. There were also some great views from the boat and the train. Our tourguide Rach was very knowledgable and extremely friendly. Would highly recommend him! Additional boat tour and train-seat upgrade were worth the money as well.

    Dissapointing
    Very poor excursion. Food was not good and there were long queues at the buffet. Service for drinks was very poor and we waited for ages. Did not get to see many historic sites, the cruise only passes two. Would not recommend as expensive for what you get.

The transport was on time. The driver is an experienced and professional, thanks Mr. Dee!!! The trip plan is very convenient and brings you to a different points with amazing views, where you can take advantage of great memory pictures and videos. Our tour guide Desi provided a lot of information on Thailand and Phuket Ireland. Good knowledge of different cultures, residing on the island. All our questions were fully covered. Thank you, Desi. The Tour wasn’t tiring at all. Time passed by quickly and with joy!

We got picked up at the hotel lobby. They were a few mins early. It was a van with AC. Kim, the guide tour was very nice and funny. We stopped at Karin view point, big buddha, wat chalong, cashew factory and Phuket old town. There was a night market at the Phuket old town on that day (not sure if weekend only). There were lots of yummy street food and merchandises at the night market. We got dropped off at the hotel. It took around 5hrs total. One thing to recommend to the tour operators. It would have been nicer if bottled water was provided. Highly recommended the tour.

Daisy was an excellent tour guide. She communicates well from beginning to end. I liked that she kept me updated on pick up in the morning and clothes for the temples. She told us what to expect at the beginning of pick up, knowledgeable about the places. Also very friendly. We had rain, but still had a good time.

Easy booking, friendly tour guide and driver.
Got picked up from our hotel lobby on time. Car was clean and airconditioned.
The tour guide made sure everyone was safe and present at each stop.
Don't expect an in-depth tour of the whole city, but it is a nice way to do a bit of sight seeing if you're looking for a break from the markets and beaches.
None of the locations pressured us to buy anything so it is definitely a relaxing day out.
During April it was really hot, so hat and water bottle highly recommended. Maybe pack a snack to keep you going until lunch time, and of course don't forget something for ladies to cover shoulders at the temples.
