Choose from a morning or afternoon tour, and enjoy pickup from your central Bangkok hotel by air-conditioned vehicle. The first stop will be in Chinatown, at the Temple of the Golden Buddha (Wat Traimit), known for its massive seated golden Buddha.

Next, visit the Temple of the Reclining Buddha (Wat Pho), one of the largest temple complexes in the city, which houses a giant reclining Buddha.

The last temple will be the Temple of Dawn (Wat Arun), a stunning temple on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River.

Save money on a group tour, or opt for a private tour for a personalized experience. You can also add on the Grand Palace to your tour.

Efficient, effective and empathetic
Rosie_C, May 2024
This is the tour for you if you procrastinated to see the major temples in Bangkok and ran out of time after all your shopping and eating. My driver and guide were extremely attentive and helpful in what appeared to be the hottest week of the year.
Must book tour
Andre_N, Apr 2024
The tour was simply amazing. The guide was fantastic and spoke great English. She really showed off Bangkok with great pride and I learned a lot. Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone coming to Bangkok.
Overpriced.
Melanie_K, Apr 2024
Overpriced. The guide was lovely but even though English speaking still quite hard to understand. Communication emails weren’t responded to. No water was provided. Given the price I thought surely in the hottest part of the year in Thailand a bottle of water per person would not break the bank.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Good morning thanks that you liked our tours, however our guide is good in English, we have alerted our Operation Manager for English test for guide again. For water I am not very sure, however from now onward we will keep water at our Van and will make sure we give to everyone. Thanks for your kind comment we will do our best to ensure the best quality of service, with all regards
Temples Visit With Hubby & Nina!
Zenaida_T, Apr 2024
We really enjoy our tour. It was an amazing & incredible experience. Nina, our tour guide was an experienced lady in Thai’s history, but not only that she was a sweet & funny person. She made us fell welcome and comfortable during our every temple’s visit. She took pictures for us, she was talking care of us all the time and answering all the questions we had. Nina made our tour to be unforgettable. Thank you Nina! ♥️
Great experiebce with a very knowledgeable guide
Gina_V, Apr 2024
The boat ride was incredible and Wat Arun was a perfect way to end the day around sunset when the light is the most beautiful. Our guide, Mr. Panu, thought I'd everything and provided us with water and umbrellas 🙏🏽
Amazing temple experience
Tracy_C, Apr 2024
We had a great morning exploring the temples with Panu. We did not feel rushed and Panu had been very knowledgeable about the temples and the history of Thailand. I would recommend this tour 5stars
A must try tour! Great experience
Alynda_H, Apr 2024
We had a great and memorable time! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the temples and history of Buddhism. We came away learning more than we expected! Additionally, our guide was caring and hospitable - always making sure that we were hydrated, providing an umbrella for shade from the sun, and making sure that we had enough time take rests. I highly recpmmend!
Half Day Tour Full of Fascinating and Historic Temples
Richard_D, Apr 2024
We had a wonderful tour of the must visit temples in Bangkok which allowed us to view the beautiful gold, jade and reclining Buddhas. Our local guide, Cindy, met us at our hotel on-time and really made the tour an enjoyable one. Cindy also did an outstanding job throughout the day providing interesting, educational insights about both Thai culture and Buddhism. Highly Recommended...also be sure to dress appropriately and wear comfortable, easy to remove shoes for entry into the temples. Would do this tour again if given the opportunity.
Great Temple Tour

Great Temples Tour
John_H, Apr 2024
Tour guide was knowledgeable, nice and professional. She also treated us to water and a snack👍🏾. Our cruise bus was late getting into Bangkok, however, the tour guide was kind enough to wait on us.
País a fortune for a private tour that never happened! Is Viator a scam?
Bianca_V, Mar 2024
What tour? I paid a fortune for a private tour! Nobody came! Didn’t do any tour! Just paid a fortune for a tour that never happened! That’s unreal! I’m from Brasil! So far! Ruined my day! Ruined my trip! Should I come back again, to Thailand, from Brasil? Brasil is very far, it’s not in the corner! I paid a fortune for you and had no tour! Just kept waiting at the hotel lobby and nobody came! Zero stars!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Good morning, this looks too sad, however this seems impossible with us, may i please request you to contact us with booking id and full refund would be given with an apology but we never have anything like this anytime as par our information, regards
Quick and beautiful
Jeff_M, Mar 2024
This is a three hour trip in the morning. The palaces are beautiful and the Buddha statues are fascinating.
Buddhas, Temples and the River
Stephen_S, Mar 2024
We enjoyed all the temples and Buddhas. The Grand Palace was closed due to a visit from the king but Sonny improvised and took us on a long tail boat ride down the original river. It was great! Sonny was very knowledgeable about history and answered all our questions.
Amazing
Marina_Z, Mar 2024

Lacey_M, Mar 2024
Mr Panu was very kind and thoughtful. We had a great time and this is a wonderful way to efficiently see the main temple sites in Bangkok
Worst experience with Viator, never ever opt this, they will loot you
DJReddy_P, Mar 2024
Terrible decision is opting Viator, be careful with them, they will loot you by charging 5-10 times higher than other vendors
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Good morning we respect all our client and we do our best to everyone, however we have never found anyone who told us to write bad review if we do not give them whatever you want, your tours was without transfer and royal grand palace, and you wanted to have it or else you will do a bad review in viator, thanks for traveling with us, I also know your review will matter to people, but our response is truth and we always do our best to satisfy our traveller, regards
