Recommend!!! - We had a wonderful tour in Bangkok with our guide Tina. She showed us many beautiful places in the city - from stunning temples to hidden corners full of history and charm. Tina was very knowledgeable, friendly, and always made sure we felt comfortable and enjoyed every moment.
Thanks to her, we discovered the beauty of Bangkok in a very special way. I highly recommend Tina as a guide - she makes the experience unforgettable and truly memorable!

Unmissable attractions - If you visit Bangkok, first visit the Royal Palace, where the Emerald Buddha is and then The Reclining Buddha, which is located 800 meters from the place. Dress long and with covered shoulders. Men also cover their legs and T-shirts with sleeves. Beautiful

Fantastic and Convenient Tour with Great Tour Guide - We booked the Bangkok Temple Tour: Grand Palace, Emerald Buddha Wat Arun – Half Day Tour through Klook.
Registration: We arrived at Hug Thai in Central World, which was our meeting point at 9:40 am. We showed our Klook voucher to Dylan our tour guide and he found my name on the registration list. We had to bring our passports. With the passports we had to fill in a sheet.
Number of People: There were 8 people in the tour.
Tour: It was quite convenient as we were driven to the Temple of Emerald Buddha by a van. Our tour guide Dylan was very knowledgeable. His knowledge of the 10 kings of Thailand, what each person in the wall painting meant, history of the palace, etc. was very interesting to hear. He also gave us enough time to take photos. The temple of the Emerald Buddha and The Grand Palace was great to see. We took a boat at Chao Phraya River to get to Wat Arun. You can climb up the stairs at Wat Arun. But the stairs are steep and you must be careful when you come down. At Wat Arun, you can buy snacks and also there is an area where you can buy souvenirs. At 1:45 pm we took a boat back to Temple of Emerald Buddha to get back on the van, which will take us back to Hug Thai in Central World. Our targeted arrival time was 2:00 pm. But due to traffic in Bangkok we arrived at 2:50 pm at Hug Thai in Central World. As a result, we had a late lunch at Central World.
Weather: The weather was quite cool as there were light rain. That’s why it made it easier to go around and see the Grand Palace, Emerald Buddha Wat Arun.
Conclusion: Overall, I recommend this tour. It was a perfect time to visit due to the cool weather. The only disappointment was that it took about an hour to get back to Hug Thai in Central World.

Guide with poor English, poor info about the place and difficult to communicate with him - The guide spoke poor English and gave us very little information about the place. The little he told us we knew from before, some he said we did not understand. He was very nice and kind

Super expensive tour - Extremely expensive !!!
Doesn’t worth it!!!
Very little to see & lots of $$$$
You can easily take a taxi or public transport!!
I expected more for the value of the tour.
The tour guide was knowledgeable though!

Bad guide for Bangkok tour. - The guide, Miss Cindy was very arrogant, unhelpful and very uncooperative. In fact this has happened to me in Malaysia as well when we hired a conducted tour for Murugan temple. At least that guide was very kind, cooperative and courteous but only lacked knowledge. This lady was terrible and a bad experience overall. The cost was high and the experience was forgettable
