By Tore V 20 August 2025 It's not a sloganWhile it first sounded like just a slogan, “Like No One Else,” the tour truly lived up to it. From start to finish, it was a wonderful experience. We enjoyed the beautiful waterfalls and a relaxing boat ride. We were provided with plenty of water and a tasty lunch. Since it’s an all-day trip, bringing along some of your favorite snacks is a good idea. So, coming back to my opening line, “Like No One Else,” the tour really felt that way, thanks to Guide Angie and her lively personality.Date of Experience: August 20, 2025

Erawan Waterfall was stunning we hiked up to a few tiers, took way too many photos, and cooled off in the water. The golden stupa stop was surprisingly calming. The war cemetery gave us a quiet moment to reflect, and then the River Kwai Bridge brought it all back to life with its history.

My mom was obsessed with the waterfall and didn’t want to leave, while my dad kept talking about the history parts.The cemetery was moving, and the boat ride gave us a chance to just sit back and soak it all in. Our guide was really kind and explained everything without it feeling like a history lecture.

By Joshua White 17 July 2025 Highly recommend!I came to Thailand alone, kinda last minute. I didn’t plan much and honestly had no idea where to start. Bangkok is exciting, but it’s also a little overwhelming when you’re by yourself in a new country. So I booked this Private Temples and Canal Tour, best decision ever. Angie, my guide, picked me up from my hotel right on time and made me feel comfortable straight away. She was friendly, funny, and super easy to talk to it felt more like exploring the city with a cool local friend than a formal tour. We started at Wat Arun, which was absolutely beautiful. The details on the temple are insane I kept stopping to take pictures every few steps. Then we visited Wat Pho, home of the giant reclining Buddha, and Angie explained some of the history in a way that was actually fun (not like a boring museum). The canal boat ride was my favorite part peaceful, breezy, and such a different view of the city. We saw locals feeding fish, little houses along the water, and even passed a few floating vendors. It felt authentic, like a peek into real Bangkok life. We ended the day at Pak Khlong Flower Market, which smelled amazing and looked like a rainbow exploded. I bought a little flower bracelet because... why not? For someone who had no clue where to go, this tour made my day stress-free, fun, and safe. Angie was amazing I’m so glad I didn’t try to do it all on my own.Date of Experience: July 17, 2025

By Luke K 17 July 2025 Amazing tour!We booked the Erawan tour with Ploy and had an amazing time from start to finish. Our group isn’t exactly the “hiking” type one of us wore flip-flops and another brought an iced latte to the trail 😅 but somehow, we survived the hike and loved every second. Ploy didn’t judge us once. In fact, Ploy made the day even more fun with jokes, patience, and lots of snack stops. The waterfalls were like a dream clear, cool, and so refreshing after the climb. We swam, took goofy pictures, and tried (badly) to do group jumps. After we dried off, Ploy brought us to a lovely spot for lunch. We sat outside, shared dishes, and just relaxed. Then we visited the big chedi on the hill amazing views, a bit windy, and honestly kind of peaceful. At the cemetery, we got quiet for a while. It was emotional, especially with the stories Ploy shared. Then the boat ride came right on time calm water, beautiful banks, and such a great way to see the area. Finally, we ended the day at the famous bridge. We took a ton of pictures and even bought little souvenirs. It was one of those days where everything felt just right. Ploy made it feel like we were just hanging out with a friend who happened to know everything.Date of Experience: July 17, 2025

By Sienna Marwood 15 July 2025 We all loved itI booked this tour because I wanted to do something meaningful and scenic with my parents while we were in Thailand. I was a little worried it might be too tiring, especially the hike at the waterfall, but it turned out perfect. The day started with a quiet visit to the cemetery. It was peaceful and respectful my dad really appreciated the history. Then we went to the River Kwai Bridge, which was more impressive in person than I expected. But the highlight for all of us was Erawan Waterfall. We didn’t rush the hike took it slow, stopped for photos, and even got our feet wet at one of the lower levels. The water was super clear and refreshing. mint was so patient and helpful the whole day. She gave my mom a walking stick and carried extra water for us. It felt like we were being taken care of by a friend. Such a great day. Nature, history, and good company can’t ask for more.Date of Experience: July 15, 2025

By Pascal B 13 July 2025 Waterfalls, history, and a few slippery moments 😂😂I did this tour with two friends, and it was one of those days we kept laughing about even after it ended. Angie, our guide, was super sweet and handled our chaotic energy like a pro 😂 The best part? Erawan Waterfall. The hike was surprisingly fun not too hard, just enough to feel like an “adventure.” One of us definitely slipped on a rock (not naming names), but we were all fine and couldn’t stop laughing. The water was cold but refreshing, and the higher levels were absolutely gorgeous. After we dried off, Angie took us to the WWII cemetery. That part really shifted the mood quiet, respectful, and honestly a little emotional. We didn’t expect to be so moved. The River Kwai Bridge was our last stop. We walked across slowly, took a million photos, and just stood there taking it all in. It was the kind of day that had a bit of everything fun, reflection, nature, and great company. So glad we did it together.Date of Experience: July 13, 2025
