Went around for the day with Mina. She was wonderful. Gave plenty of information, answered questions, gave time to take pictures, and helped with directions on how to get home when we were finished. The place for lunch she took us was delicious as well.

Our tour was amazing. The tour guide kept us hydrated in the heat, helped us understand the culture and showed us the best parts of Bangkok. The tour was excellent. Be prepared with suncream and dint overload your back pack as it is a walking tour mainly. Mina our guide was efficient, informative, funny and caring. A truly great experience from station to finish.

The tour is a bit overrated and stretched, could be done in 3 hrs, it is good for those interested in buddism history of Thailand. Was a bit tiring walking in hot weather, jumping into and from boats, not many places to hide from the sun, limited toilets location, so it's not for everyone. The guide Pat was very helpful though, she also helped us to plan other activities.
