About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 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

- Passport7766340 contributionsBest tuk tuk tourOur tour guide took us to the hottest spots to see the temples and the highlights of Bangkok. She made sure that we had a great dinner on the tour which was in China Town. The Cantonese restaurant was amazing and we were glad that we chose this company to go with.Written 23 August 2024
- E7905TBstevec0 contributionsWould request call with Guide prior to tour to gauge English levelOur guide did try hard during the day but her level of proficiency in spoken english was low. Also seemed that at times she was visiting some places for the first time given her comments. Instructions for provided restaurant lunch weren't clear, hostess wanted us to pay for drinks separately (was sorted finally). Best to tell your guide upfront if you don't want your photo taken on their phone (not sure exact reason), found this happened before we realised it and didn't want that to occur.Written 15 August 2024
- U5420UFfatmaa0 contributionsFantasticThe views were amazing ,, the water was perfect 🤩 and the most important thing was that the guides were helpful especially tomato 🍅 also the driver were there on time , but what I didn’t like was the foodWritten 7 August 2024
- 851zoew0 contributionsThe Golden TrianglePeter was a wonderful thoughtful guide. It was wonderful to see the white temple, and I enjoyed the village where the Myanmar people were living which was really interesting. I managed to buy some lovely keep sakes which the women of the village were making. We had an interesting moment getting into the Long boat on the Mekong river due to my mobility issues and restricted range of motion. That was quite something and I'm sure will entertain somebody in Laos since the locals were filming me on the return. Not much happening on the Laos side abit edgy and felt like authorities were keeping an eye on us. There was a last stop to a town on the Myramar border it was a long drive adding a few hours onto the trip and I don't think this stop was very beneficial. I wouldn't bother with that stop on this trip as it makes the day much longer than necessary all in all we were out 15 hrs which is a very long day. I'd say 8 to 10 is better. Peter and the driver though looked after us well completing comfort breaks and manged to find disable toilets on route. We very much enjoyed it and got some great pics.Written 6 August 2024

My friend and I took this tour. We got to see all the sites advertised however our guide did not speak English very well. There was minimal information given about the sites we visited. The guide would point and tell us what the building was but nothing more. I would avoid this tour.

Thank you for your feedback. As per our sense, you should feel lucky that we provided you our famous guide who got more than 3 hundred 5 star reviews. She can speak English like a native English speaker though she couldn't make you happy, so I think no guide available in this world who can make you happy. Thank you once again.

It was great having a personal driver take us around to view the Grand Palace and Temples. We had a guide as well, but her English was difficult to understand. Also she was speaking from behind her face mask which made it difficult to hear what she was saying. The tour was not very well organized either. We had to wait for the driver every time we were finished at a site. We had to wait also for the tickets while the guide was standing in line. Not sure why all this logistics couldn't be organized in advance regarding tickets and melting points. We tried to make the best out of the tour, but I would not recommend it. Not worth the money.

Our tour of the Grand Palace and select temples was worth every penny! Our tour guide, Ms Kularb Bureerat, was very informative and friendly and made the experience very enjoyable. We learned about the history of some of the temples, along with knowledge of what different past kings built and why. Transportation to and from our hotel was very relaxing and comfortable as well. Definitely a tour that I would 100% recommend to anyone looking to experience some of Bangkok's rich history!

I am happy to recommend this private tour to anyone wanting to visit the Grand Palace and major Temples in Bangkok. My female guide met me promptly in my hotel lobby and arranged for our male driver to collect us. The vehicle was well maintained with great air-conditioning. My guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable, having been a guide for thirteen years. I had ample opportunity to explore each of the tour sites, with the guide offering to take photographs at significant locations and providing me with a cold drink. I never felt rushed and when we left each site, the driver arrived promptly to take us to the next site.

Thank you, Miss Chutima Nawsoon! You are amazing! The tour was very well organised, our guide knew and told us exactly what we expected. Some of the best temples, but exactly what you need to see to be representative for the history and tradition of the Bangkok. The car was comfortable, the driver very good and the cherry on the cake was our guide! She spoke a very good and clear English, knows everything (and not only about the tour, but everything what you may need to know), so if you ask her to be your guide, the tour will be perfect! And you'll see exactly what you need and expect for best pictures and memories from Thailand!

This is a perfect tour of Bangkok’s “musts”… Our guide “A” was timely, knowledgeable, sweet and went out of her way to accommodate our interests. She was also a great driver in this crazy traffic. She made everything come alive and beautiful with her explanations. Great intro to Bangkok with a reasonable time covering all the “musts”. Thanks “A”!!!

Aye was a great guide! She was helpful with our other plans as well for the day even after our tour ended. We battled the heat but it was a great tour seeing the main sites in town.
