We booked a tour for the old town and Wat experience but were bunched in with others doung experiences that we had to just sit around and wait for them to finish. I purposely selected a tour with no animal experiences because I disagree with them but had to sit in the waiting area anyway. Big waste of our time. I have used Viator many many times and this was my first bad experience. I put it in the tour company but beware this one combines groups with different tour selections
This tour felt a bit disorganized. While the guide was friendly and helpful, the explanations of the sites seemed somewhat limited. If you prefer a more laid-back, hands-off experience, this tour might suit you. However, it’s worth noting that you could likely visit all the locations on your own without much trouble—so the tour may not be essential.

great tour! no frills, pretty basic but if you’re looking for an affordable ride to multiple tourist destinations, you get your money’s worth. mickey was an awesome guide.
Not a great experience. 20 min late pick up, was only informed on the day Big Buddha had been closed for months but still charged full price for tour. Tour was not as advertised, stopped at places not on itinerary. Warm water provided, no refresher towel as advertised, no commentary throughout the trip about the stops or places on the way to stops and only approx 20min stop at each point. Overall please do your homework when considering this type of tour.
Great family day out. Friendly and funny guide who gave us great tips and knowledgeable about the areas we went to. Only downside was the coffee stop which was at a pearl sales show room.
Response from Host, Apr 2024

Kind regards,
Thailand Tours team.
