Bangkok: Grand Palace, Wat Pho, and Wat Arun Guided Tour - Starting at the Grand Palace and Na Phra Lan Gate 2

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 3,632 reviews · 5 hours · from $24Our pick

Review of Bangkok’s Grand Palace, Wat Pho, and Wat Arun tour, with practical advice on guides, fees, dress code, crowds, and value.

“We had such a great experience touring the three big temples in Bangkok. It was incredibly hot (definitely bring water and sunscreen!), but the entire tour was absolutely worth it. Our guide, Sunday, was fantastic - so friendly, knowledgeable, and full of interesting history and cultural context that we never would have learned on our own. He kept the tour engaging the whole time and made sure we were comfortable despite the heat. The temples themselves were breathtaking. The architecture, detail, and beauty are truly something you have to see in person. This tour ended up being one of the highlights of our time in Bangkok. Highly recommend!”

“I will not give any stars for this tour. I absolutely hated this tour. The guide had heavy accent and were not answering our question, probably was not able to understand. They were changing cars at every location we were stopped and were very annoying. We had to wait for driver in the car, after I asked many times what's taking so long, i am here to sit in the car and paid so much money...they were just not nice and chit chatting outside without communicating to us that whats taking long. Tour guide will disappear here and there. She will tell us I will see you in the lobby…”
