About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- arnyv0 contributionsFun day in AyutthayaWe enjoyed our Ayutthaya tour with our private guide, Supatsara or A in short. A was friendly, polite, and punctual. She took us to all the important sites in Ayutthaya and even included a stop at the floating market as a bonus. A was attentive to my group’s needs. We were provided with a good lunch at a local well known restaurant in Ayutthaya. A stark contrast to the “included lunch” provided by other tours we’ve been on. A’s English was decent. For the most part we understood her just fine, but it was difficult to follow at times due to her accent. What she lacks in her English speaking skills is made up by her enthusiasm, positive attitude, and the willingness to go above and beyond to ensure your experience is a memorable one. And for that, I would recommend her to anyone.Written 8 January 2025
- rutht3620200 contributionsThis tour agency will cancel your tour at the last minute. Do not book!!This tour company canceled my tour the night before my actual tour. I booked my tour MONTHS in advance and kept checking on it to ensure that it was booked. To cancel the night before is UNPROFESSIONAL. As this was my only day in Bangkok it completely ruined my experience as I could not find another tour company at such a late notice. Absolutely would not recommend.Written 30 December 2024
- Z9143YOalexandrub0 contributionsTemplesVisit the temples before lunch. Even if it might be tiring, do not miss any temple. Do not lose time on any location, better to visit all the temples.Written 29 December 2024
- StuartL12630 contributionsCancelled out tourCanceled our tour less than 24hrs prior! Took my money, waiting on refund! Booked through tripadvisor which is not good ! Stay away!Written 29 December 2024
- 584shreyasij0 contributionsSmall car, not a good guideOverall, this was not a good experience. I would rate this as 3/5. The guide was not very good. Her English was very poor and she didn't explain anything much. She took us from one place to the next without really giving any explanation. There were 5 adults + 1 guide and they sent an SUV not a van so it was quite squeezed.Written 28 December 2024
- anthonycR7880VN0 contributionsMain sites tourSo much to see, I’m happy we were able to see the main sites! I very much appreciated their flexibility to also add the grand palace to our itinerary (since it was a private tour and I was alone, we were able to be more flexible with what we saw). Highly recommendWritten 22 December 2024
- 880shabinab0 contributionsUnforgettable Experience with an Exceptional Guide – Highly Recommended!I had an incredible experience on the Private Half-Day Bangkok City Tour with The Grand Palace. The highlight of the tour was undoubtedly the Grand Palace, which was absolutely stunning and rich in history. Our guide, Miss Supatsara, was exceptional—her knowledge of the history and culture of Bangkok was impressive, and she made the experience both informative and engaging. She took the time to answer all our questions and provided fascinating insights about the landmarks we visited. The tour was well-organized, and the personal attention made it feel special. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore the beauty and history of Bangkok with a knowledgeable and friendly guide!Written 3 December 2024
- MFJHES0 contributionsBeautiful sampling of Thai royal architecture but lacking in substanceThe guide was listed as English speaking but it was definitely a language barrier. It was difficult many times to understand each other . While we were touring beautiful temples, the tour never explained the true importance of the temple and what Buddha truly means to Thai people. There was severely a lack of background information and historyWritten 30 November 2024
- 351nadj0 contributionsAmazing Private Tour with the Best Guide!We had an amazing private tour of Wat Arun and the canals in Bangkok. Puk was the best guide we could have asked for – incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing her culture with us. She provided so many fascinating insights that truly enriched our experience. The driver was also fantastic, ensuring a smooth and comfortable journey throughout. This tour is highly recommended for anyone looking for a personalized and authentic Bangkok experience. Thank you, Puk, for making our day so special!Written 26 November 2024

Our guide Benjamat was top shelf. She has forgotten more about the history and region than most will know. Highly recommended.

Our guide was excellent. We learned a great deal of history on this tour which covered comprehensively the story of the abused prisoners of WWII who were worked to death building the rail lines and the bridge over the river Kwai. The two museums and the cemetery are well-worth the price of admission.
An added attraction was the sound and light show at night. Our guide seemed to enjoy it as much as we did.

Are all listed activities and entrance fees (e.g. Death Railway museum, JEATH museum) included in the price ?

We will be in Kanchanaburi from the 23 April 2019 to the 26 April 2019. Is there any tour we can do from Kanchanaburi to Hellfire Pass and to see Weary Dunlop Museum. We will also be going up to Hellfire Pass for Anzac Day. I would like to see as much as I can as my Dad was a POW there.
Written 27 October 2018
We are sorry, for Hellfire Pass we do not have any tour.
Written 28 October 2018
The day that we would like to go is Dec. 2, 2018. Will we be able to stay at Kanchanaburi to enjoy the special sound and light show in the evening, as part to the River Kwai Bridge Festival 2018 before returning to Bangkok that evening?

We are 4 travelers who want to book this tour for Dec. 2, 2018. Will the private tour consist only of the 4 of us? Is that why the price went up to $137 per person? Will you be adding more people to this tour and if you do will our price go down?
Written 27 August 2018
Our all tours are private. If you book any tour, we will continue only for you and your group, guide and driver. We do not handle sharing tour.
