Nancy was a great guide full of knowledge about Thai history, royalty and religion. Her sense of humour and enthusiasm for her subject matter really brought the Buddhist stories around the temples to life. Would highly recommend booking this 2 and a half hour tour.

The grounds are stunning to look at as is the architecture. Our guide was very knowledgeable and funny too. Only thing I would change. The joining instructions say nothing above the knee, this is not correct it should say no shorts at all. Like 100’s of other tourists on the day, I ended up in a pair of elephant print trousers, not the end of the world as they are very cheap the equivalent of £3.75, but that’s. Not the point.
