GenX likes this tour. - The tour was wonderful and so was our guide Karl. It was organized and well laid out. We arrived at the check in location (River City Bangkok) at 8:20am and we were given Karl stickers to identify ourselves to our guide. We left a little later than the 9am time because of a tardy solo traveler they waited for.
Once under way, Karl explained how the day was laid out and we settled on for the 70-90 min ride. The only reason I didn't give this tour a 5 was because the mini bus was tight. Anyone over 5'8" or over 200lbs is going to be tight.
The schedule was temple, lunch, temple, temple, temple. Karl was very informative and tried to keep everyone engaged.
The stop for lunch was a delicious buffet lunch in an air conditioned hall. The food was hot and fresh. Water was free, but anything else was an additional charge.
Take a free umbrella to use at the temples. I can't emphasize enough how hot it is and there is little to no shade. We we're offered a bottle of cold water, but I strongly suggest you bring a couple of bottles yourself.
BE RESPECTFUL! I found myself very irritated by western self entitlement when at the temples. Some people were not following rules. Mostly sitting, standing or climbing somewhere they were not supposed to.
Women must cover their shoulders and knees and Karl quickly led one of the ladies on the tour directly to a vendor to purchase a scarf once we arrived.
After the last stop, the reclining Buddha, we started the 90min ride back. The drop off is at the MBK mall. Which if you haven't been, is a nice spot to be dropped off. MBK is like the biggest mall you can imagine combined with a flea market.
Big Country Tours is highly recommended.

A historical but tough&hot day - The temples are great andt Henry was really knowlegable and willing to help. A lot of relics and beheaded statues, because of wars. Or colonism? Maybe.
Making this visit in Feb might be a bit too tough due to The weather. Better do it in a cooler dag. Still, an enjoyable experience with great memories.

Educational but large group - Very friendly and knowledgeable guide, beautiful and impressive places. More than 30 people is not a small group for me.
