Informative, fun, convenient. - Our guide Chai was excellent. He gave us incredible insights into Thai culture and the history of the temples on our tour. They picked us up and dropped us off at the hotel right on time. I would highly recommend the tour.

Perfect tour of Bangkok's most popular sites - We ended up with a private tour as nobody else had signed up that day.. The tour guide was great and full of energy on a very hot and humid day. She made sure we got to the sites early before the crowds and helped us get some amazing photos. She also followed our cues on pace, especially once the heat really picked up. Great way to visit the grand palace and two biggest temples within Bangkok. The agency was also very good at communicating, helping to coordinate hotel pick up and sending reminder message to our hotel room.

Recommend - They picked us up at the hotel and we were the only ones in our group. We had a super nice experience and got to see and learn a lot. Our guide had a little difficulty with the English which meant that we did not always understand but we had a nice time anyway. Recommend then you get to see three incredibly nice temples, go boating across the canal and go into a souvenir shop.

Lots of walking - This tour was great. We learned so much about the culture here in Bangkok and the history behind all the beautiful temples and palaces they have. Please note that this is a walking tour along with an air conditioning van. The walking around the large temples is a lot so please come prepared to walk. Our guide Betsy or Bettty was amazing she answered all our questions and gave us great insight on her culture. Please wear comfortable shoes and bring a fan. Glad that me and my friends did this tour and now we can leave here knowing a little more about Bangkok.

Our tour should have been... - Our tour should have been 7:30-12:30pm but the tour guide arrived at 8:40am. We got back to our hotel at 3 PM… We were so hungry… She should have taken us at least to a food place so we could have lunch… Also, she’s a bit rude.
