We saw a lot of temples in Thailand, but these were by far the coolest. absolutely breathtaking architecture in a beautiful setting. the long trip is well worth it, ESPECIALLY of you go with our guide, Sukhtep. he was so knowledgeable, had everything we needed (masks, water, etc.), and was just the sweetest guy! you can always tell when someone loves their work, and Sukhtep definitely loves his. I wish we could have taken him with us on the rest of our tours!

This was a great tour, which we were able to do at our pace. Our tour guide Wit gave us the autonomy to spend as much or little time at each location, which we really appreciated. Not only that, but he was able to provide great background on the history of all the places we visited. He also took us to some great food spots, which we really appreciated. 10/10 experience.

All three temples were very impressive an we would recommend the tour. Vasit gave us a lot of background informations and was very helpful in answering our questions and taking pictures. The lunch option was very good. We would recommend the beef curry (unfortunately I forgot the name of the dish).

Our guide Banana was very nice, he shared a lot about culture and history, he also gaves us explanations about what is inside the temples and how it was built and so on … he also booked a very good lunch. Great experience thank you !

We spent a good day, the temples are wonderful. The driver was good and the guide Pim very kind.
