Private Tour to Grand Palace, Pho Temple and Arun Temple

I had an incredible private tour of the Grand Palace, Wat Pho (Temple of the Reclining Buddha), and Wat Arun, and I cannot recommend it enough. My guide, Poppy, was absolutely amazing and truly made the experience unforgettable. Poppy was knowledgeable, warm, and engaging, sharing rich historical context, cultural insights, and thoughtful details that brought each site to life. She navigated the crowds with ease, paced the tour perfectly, and was incredibly attentive—making sure we were comfortable, hydrated, and had time to fully take in each location. The Grand Palace was stunning, Wat Pho was awe-inspiring, and Wat Arun was breathtaking, especially learning about the symbolism and history behind the architecture. Poppy answered every question with depth and clarity and made the tour feel personal rather than scripted. She also is amazing photographer… major plus. If you’re visiting Bangkok and want a meaningful, well-organized, and enriching experience of these iconic temples, book this private tour—and ask for Poppy if you can. She is truly exceptional.

Our guide was fantastic. She knew the history. The dynasties, the religious differences and the architecture. She made sure we got the best photos and her English was easy to understand. I highly recommend this private tour. We saw many large group tours plus people aimlessly doing their own tour. The 1:3 attention from our guide was perfect. She was able to answer all of our questions. We booked this through Viator. Our tour guide was Oddi. The spelling is likely wrong.

This tour was one of the highlights of our two-week trip to Thailand! Angie, our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and took the BEST pictures! Our favorite photos from the entire trip are ones she took on this tour. The tour itself goes through dazzling temples and significant historical events. We also learned about Queen Sirikit’s recent passing and saw mourners in line to pay their respects. I would recommend this trip to anyone who is interested in learning more about Thailand and the royal family (historically and today), anyone interested in the beautiful blending of Buddhist and Hindu tradition in Thailand, and anyone who wants to be amazed by absolutely splendid architecture and beautiful plant life. My husband and I loved this tour! Thank you, Angie, for making this a highlight of our trip to Thailand!

Nina and the driver are both great, professional, knowledgeable and pay attention to details. They are very flexible and frequently asked our preference. The tour gives good coverage of these main historical attractions in the city, and accommodated everyone well with everyone having different interest on things. The van is comfortable and super clean. The lunch place Nina booked for us is super. Highly recommend tje tour, Nina and the driver.

The Grand Palace is absolutely stunning every detail is incredible. Our guide, Bee, was fantastic! She made the tour fun, informative, and super comfortable. She patiently helped with photos, shared interesting stories behind the architecture, Her knowledge and friendliness really made the day unforgettable.

Fantastic day. Tony our driver was nice and Tip is professional and very kind. We defenitely recommend the trip to anyone! We were impressed by the attractions and Tip made it more menorable.

this tour was the highlight of the trip and it was Poppy out tour guide that really brought life to Bangkok with her amazing wealth of knowledge about all the landmarks we went to!

It’s called the “Three Must-See Temples” for a reason they truly live up to the name. The Grand Palace was absolutely stunning, beyond anything you could imagine. The other two temples were just as beautiful in their own way. What made the day even better was our guide, Jenny. She was patient, cheerful, and explained everything clearly and with such a good vibe. We really enjoyed this tour and would totally recommend Jenny if you get the chance to visit!

WOW! Such an amazing excursion visiting all these temples in the capital. And understanding how integrated in society the Buddhist and monk culture really is in Thailand, it left me in awe, and I will cherish this memory forever. We got so many amazing pictures, and our super guide Patrick helped us with this, so a big shout-out to you Patrick for making this memory with us. Please be sure to use appropriate attire, if you are planning to go inside the temples. Thank you.

When we covered some of the sights on different tours on previous days, Poppy was very flexible and came up with different sights for us to see. She was very sweet and seems to love telling people about her country. Thanks for a great day!
