Not bad for first timers

Me and my mom have enjoyed the tour. We chose Thailand to have a meaningful retreat from the past, and reminisce the wonderful memories in Bangkok of my dad,who just passed away few months ago.

We didn’t have any single regret in choosing the package. Rather, we were astounded of how we experienced the vibrant culture of Siam in a short period of time. After the tour, we were ushered to the Gems Factory, where we managed to purchase precious souvenirs to bring home.

Perth, our tour guide was very accommodating. Although its raining, she maintained her grace-under-pressure.(no pun intended).We were glad that we had the chance to visit the Grand Palace less crowded than usual.We were dropped-off to the nearest and famous mall within the area of our hotel, which made our shopping experience in BKK hassle-free.

X was a great guide and willing to explain anytime questions were asked. Great tour if a bit short. You would be amazed how quick the time goes by.

Visitng the 3 main temples was a wonderfull experience. However we were not able to visit the Grand Palace because it was a holiday and it was closed. The Agency shouldn't have accepted a booking knowing that the Palace was closed - this was a huge disappointment and we felt it was not correct on behakf of the Agency.
The tour guide was was very nice and knowlegeable.

This tour was excellent as was our guide. His English was perfect making everything very easy to understand as there was much to take in. The tour was full from beginning to end and all undertaken with the utmost professionalism. My wife and I were really impressed and would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bangkok.

We had a knowledgeable guide who had a good sense of humour. He was also very good at manoeuvring us through crowds to obtain better vantage points.

We booked this tour as we only had one day in Bangkok and wanted to see as much as possible. We were not disappointed. The minibus arrived on time and there was 5 of us all together so a small friendly group. The tour guide was lovely and full of amusing stories. There was a lot to see in the time and if you wanted a more in-depth information this may not be for you but was ideal for us.

An enjoyable day with a very nice guide who gave a lot of useful detail. The tour ran smoothly. The Gem factory at the end was a surprise as it wasn't advertised in the tour, but I guess that is to be expected in Bangkok. It did not detract from the tour and I would recommend this tour.

What the most I like from this half day tour is that the tour leader was a very kind person. He told us the historical information regarding the places we have visited. I think all temples and palace would be just an ordinary place if we do not know the story behind. And Mr. Pasith Kasuya, with his pleasant personality, as our tour leader can provide this information and made this tour is a memorable one for me and my husband.

The tour was nice and showed a number of temples in the city.Overall it was nice though a bit long for a half day (7am until 2pm). The guide was excellent though there was no explanation of why there were so many temples in the city.

good quick run thru temples n palace, but too fast paced, full day would've been better, more time to shop n take it all in that way

A good tour to see both temples and city in a short time and we had a very knowledgeable guide but you aren't warned of the high pressure selling in the jewellery factory at the end - be prepared!
