What people are saying about Wat Pho

It was a really great trip, the e-scooters are well maintained and the guides are super funny and gave us a really cool evening. Momo and Judy were awesome, spoke good English and really enjoyed their work, and they also gave us a lot of exciting information about the individual sights. We would book a tour again at any time without hesitation and can only recommend it. Thanks for the great trip.

Superb activity to do for our first night in Bangkok. Tour guides were excellent and very friendly. Covered loads of sites in the 3 hours and seen many things I would not have if we didn’t do tour. Highly recommend this trip.

I highly recommend this tour! It's fun, safe and you'll see a lot of nice spots in Bangkok. Temples, street food, different neighborhoods. And a shootout to Bong and Mohsen: You guys were great! :)

The guided night e scooter Bangkok tour was nothing short of amazing. If you have an evening in Bangkok to spare and are up to explore the landmarks - highly recommend booking this tour.

It was a fun way to see Bangkok at night and to get a glimpse of the back streets and allies most tourists never see. Also a gòd way to sample food.
