We had a great tour, by starting early we got to see many of the sights before the crowds arrived later in the day. Our guide spoke good English and at the end of the tour helped us navigate our way to the ferry port.
A wonderful excursion with Julie!! Julie went above and beyond as a guide supporting guests on the tour who were struggling with the heat. She was friendly, knowledgable and made me feel very comfortable! Thank you Julie 😊
Great tour to see much of Bangkok
Fantastic tour with so much included. Our tour guide was wonderful and very informative.
Amazing. Flexible and personalised tour. Would strongly recommend.
Pam was great! Everything was taken care of and I had a great experience
Excellent tour of the temples and places with Pam. I like how I was given instructions beforehand to make sure I had what I needed such as my long pants and what to expect. Highly recommended tour!
It was a great one-day trip exploring some of the beautiful temples in Bangkok, and the boat ride was such a wonderful experience too! Our tour guide, Pam, was absolutely fantastic and made the trip even more enjoyable. Highly recommended! 🌸🛕🚤
We absolutely adored our tour and our guide, Pam was fabulous! We had a fantastic day, Pam was warm and engaging and her knowledge of the history of Thailand really added to the histic sites we visited. The boat ride through the canals was a highlight . Got to see a side of Bangkok I had no idea about. Do yourself a favour and book this tour!
Pam was great our tour included a great Khlong tour of the canals the grand palace and eat pho. Pam was lots of fun and we had a great time
This was a fantastic tour! It was really comprehensive, covering a lot of really key Bangkok sights and history. Our guide, Kanut, was wonderful - so friendly and knowledgeable. We had such a fabulous time on this tour - highly recommend!!
We only did the Grand Palace and Temples. These were both very good. We hired a tour guide which was worth while. The grounds and amenities were very good. I suggest taking an umbrella for both the sun and if it rains. Take water if it’s hot and don’t rush the tour. Wear comfortable shoes and observe the dress code. The staff are always happy to assist.
This was an amazing trip, it was a lot of fun. The tour guide was amazing. She was very knowledgeable, and very helpful. The boat ride was amazing, and we got to see a lot of cool stuff. Loved it! Highly recommend!
Tour guide was great. She could have explained attractions better but i understand that with language barrier it can be hard. Overall great experience
Fantastic tour - very knowledgable guides who made it fun and enjoyable. We have come away understanding a lot more about Thai culture.
Really good tour and very informative.
Pam was incredible. She did a great job explaining the history. Also was an incredible photographer
Wonderful day with Pam! She was very knowledgeable, fun, and helpful! Treated us to an amazing tour of some temples and the river!
My expectations were far surpassed. The magnitude of the royal and spiritual sites were unprecedented and it was incredible to learn of the history. Paul was an exceptional guide for us and we took away so much knowledge and appreciation from our time with him. If you want to get a well rounded tour of the cities canals as well as its most cherished heritage. Go on this tour.
The tour was exceptional met all our expectations. The guide was informative and outstanding.
Fabulous tour! This allowed us to see two very different sides of Bangkok, from the opulence of the Grand Palace and Wat Pho, to the homes and businesses along the canals. The canal cruise let us enjoy a traditional longboat, and we got to see giant monitor lizards sunning themselves on stones and piers. The Grand Palace Was absolutely stunning, with its intricate stone work, statues, and Emerald Buddha. Wat Pho, Thailand's first university and home of the massive reclining Buddha, was truly a sight to behold. PK was a great guide. Thank you!
Had a great time learning more about Thai culture. PK was great and was super knowledgeable about everything. Also, the tour ran smoothly and seamlessly.
P.K (or T.K) was a great guide. She kindly waited for me (I was 10 minutes late) and was very knowledgeable. Unfortunately the Grand Palace was closed, but we visited other temples that were beautiful and very very interesting. She also took great pictures of me.
A great way to experience some of the key cultural monuments of Bangkok. A guide is helpful as there are historical and cultural facts you won’t get if you walk around by yourself and our guide, Ton, was also so friendly and easy to get along with. A really fulsome morning although I will note our tour only lasted three hours, instead of the advertised 4–5, so it was a bit expensive.
Lots of history and beautiful temples. Our tour guide Paul was helpful and knowledgeable. I especially enjoyed the relaxing boat ride in the beginning.
PK was very informative, very pleasant and welcoming. Enjoyed our trip enormously. Was very interesting and would recommend.
Pam is an AWESOME and sweet and LOVELY and KIND and HUMBLE and KNOWLEDGEABLE GUIDE. She was very aware of the best details about the Temples, Canal Ride, and Grand Palace. I had an accident falling down a step that resulted in a broken foot right at the end of the tour, and she got me medical help from the Grand Palace, got me to the hospital, and stayed with me until I got to my hotel. I feel so fortunate to have had her for our guide. Wonderful doesn't explain it.
Our guide, Pam, was incredibly informative and clearly passionate about her city, which made the experience even more memorable. She went above and beyond by surprising us with a visit to a UNESCO listed theatre show with Thai music/ dancing a wonderful and unexpected highlight of the day!
Pam was our tour guide and was very passionate, helpful and informative. The meeting location was easy to find and the tour was very well organised from start to finish. The longboat tour was really fun and we fed the fish and Pam also took us to a theatre to see a 30 min UNESCO show which was a nice surprise. Tips - Take an umbrella, not just for potential rain but also for the sun - Take plenty of water (you can also buy en-route - The tour finishes as a cafe where you can get a toasties or Thai food (this is not included in price)
This was a great tour with guide Pam who had so much knowledge about everything, we learnt so much and she was a lot of fun. We booked the tour for four of us. The meeting point was easy to find and the tour started with a longboat ride where we saw basking lizards and fed catfish. We then disembarked and walked a short walk to The Grand Palace which was incredible in its opulence and history. The Emerald Buddha was in its winter coverings. We then jumped on an air con bus to Wat Pho to see the incredible Reclining Buddha. It is hard to find words to describe these places, they have to be seen. We finished with a cafe stop. I am glad we did this tour early in the morning before it gets too hot and too crowded. Pam took care of all the entry tickets. Perhaps the only thing that could have made it better would be to do the longboat ride in between the two venues to have a breather. But the tour is only 4 hours!
Pam was a very knowledgeable tour guide. She showed lots of great sites with awesome picture opportunities.
A boat cruise down the River of Kings to see the most exquisite temples and the Grand Palace. Had a wonderful guide whose nickname was Pat, who shared the history of the periods and kings, and told the most amazing stories. An experience that will be forever memorable!
We completed this tour yesterday with our teenage family. We had a great day, very enjoyable and informative. Our guide ‘Ole’ was excellent; very knowledgeable, personable, professional and fun. Highly recommended!
We had a great day seeing some of Bangkok’s most beautiful sites. The Grand Palace and Temple were amazing and we enjoyed learning about the history and meaning of different things. We loved the boat and tuk tuk rides and had the best guide, Pam. We would highly recommend!!
I loved the longtail boat ride and the Queen’s textile exhibit. Everything was amazing and Apple was a great guide!
Absolutely fantastic tour! I was the only person signed up so I got a totally private and customized tour :) my guide shared so much interesting information, and even got me snack and water along the way. It was extremely hot on the day of the tour (42C) but well worth it!!
Recommend this tour, covers a good amount of places. Carry water and wear appropriate clothes. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Apple. She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable.
Great introduction to some of Bangkok’s main attractions. Our guide Pam was friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. It was great to see the city from the river during the longboat ride. The Grand Palace is a big area with a lot of significant places, so you do a lot of walking. (Be prepared.) The air conditioned bus ride to Wat Pho, although short, was a welcome relief from the heat. Overall, a great tour for anyone who can handle a lot of walking in hot weather.
One of the best tour I have joined in my years of travelling. The tour has little bit of everything. Walking, tuktuk, longtail boat and live traditional dance show. It covers temples, palace, river and a royal theatre. I was lucky that no other people joined so it became like a private tour. Tour guide Pamela is such an angel! She is knowledgeable, very attentive and caring. And she takes great photos! She knows where are the great angles and where I should be positioned to get great snapshots. I never felt rushed and in the end she helped me at the metro station to go back to my accommodation.
Wonderful tour with a very knowledgeable guide who spoke perfect English. We had a great time looking at the temples and the boat tour was a good time to recover from walking.
The tour guide Nine was excellent- knowledgeable and friendly. The tour progressed smoothly despite the on and off drizzle. The Grand Palace was large and required a bit of a walk, but Nine was able to tell us stories about the history and buildings. The river cruise on the Chao Praya was an eye opener, the river locks were fascinating. Wat Pho was awe inspiring. We had a good time and felt we covered a lot of ground despite the rain.
Wonderful guide and tour! Incredibly knowledgeable about Thai culture and history. Helped me see the context and the beauty — plus great fun!
I came across this tour after a recommendation from a fellow traveller and I was thoroughly surprised on an area of the city I haven't yet come across in the time I have been in Bangkok. A much more relaxing way to explore the city on a traditional longtail boat, which is owned by a local, and with the help of the guide, they shared their own stories which helped to provide a real local experience. After the boat, we were taken to the enchanting Grand Palace and learnt more about the Buddhism. As a solo traveler, I really enjoyed seeing an alternative area of the city, away from all the crowds, with real local people.
Our guide A was very informative and interacted with us the whole time. Very helpful as i have a bad knee and was most concerned with our safety at all times. Lots of fun. An excellent guide we would recommend him as a guide for anyone
We had a great time on this city tour with our super-informative and enthusiastic guide, Pam. We walked around the beautiful Wat Pho, took a ride on a city bus, had a boat ride in the river, and walked around the stunning Grand Palace. Our guide Pam was a wealth of knowledge, and she had boundless energy. Lots of fun.
We had a tour with A, amazing and well educated guide. He was giving lots of information in very easy way and made to fall in love with Bangkok .
Started with a peaceful wander around Wat Pho, taking in the culture. Then the canal cruise which was nice too, especially stopping to feed the fish in the river. We then went to the amazing Grand Palace which was pretty mesmerising however, be warned, it is extremely crowded. We chose not to see the emerald Buddha due to the length of the queue and the heat. The entrance ticket includes a traditional Thai show at the theatre not far from the Grand Palace. There are free shuttle buses to the theatre outside. Amin was a good guide, seemed a bit rushed but probably due to the short 4 hour time frame. Very knowledgeable and funny. Overall it was a great tour, would recommend.
Our guide, Pokémon, did a wonderful job navigating us quickly through the most popular (and busy) tourist attractions in Bangkok. He has extensive knowledge of the history and communicated very clearly in English. The tour was exactly as described and he was humorous as well.
Pam was our guide for a fun filled day. Man she did not disappoint! Her enthusiasm throughout the tour was evident at the beginning til the end. She explained culture, history, food, safety, and most of all interacted with each and every person. Laughing the entire time. Great tour and ask for Pam!
