Temple, shrine & monastery tours
Good 3-Hour experiences fill up weeks ahead and the sunrise slots go first. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Review of Chiang Mai’s three-hour temple walk, with Wat Chedi Luang, Wat Phan Tao, Wat Phra Singh, costs, tips, and honest advice.
“Our tour guide Gnana was amazing, she gave us so much information and history about chiang mai. Lovely lady with a great sense of humour”
Review of a private Ephesus tour from Kusadasi, including Terrace Houses, Temple of Artemis, lunch, transport, costs, and cruise timing tips.
“It was chaotic finding our guide. Thousands of people exiting the ship into a small area of guides waiting for their group. Once our group of 6 was together it still took quite a while for the guide to get our van. Ephesus was overwhelmed with tourists. Thousands of people in groups of various sizes were all trying to see the site. Very unpleasant. Our guide had to herd us to places where we could hear him. Following the tour of Ephesus we were forced to endure a visit to a carpet store and lunch at an unmemorable restaurant. Drop off at the port was easy. I was at Ephesus…”
Escape Kyoto’s Fushimi Inari crowds on a 3-hour forest hike with bamboo groves, quiet shrines, torii gates, local insight, and photos.
“Very informative and I am pleased with our experience.”
Ride through the Andes to Cusco’s Temple of the Moon with calm horses, local guides, city views, and a small six-person group.
“I was so happy to experience such surreal beauty riding through Peru’s stunning and refreshing nature trails! Our tour guide, Bennei , was incredible! We arrived at The Temple Of The Moon with Spirit lead timing! I was able to have a ceremony in the temple and when we came out there was a rainbow shining. I’m very grateful for this experience that provided healing, presentness, connection to nature and the ranch animals! I highly recommend signing up for this tour!!”
