Must do Bangkok day tour - Our guide Karti made the whole day an absolutely fantastic experience. If you are up for all the main Bangkok sites in one day then this must be the best tour going.

Excellent and interesting tour of many highlights of Bangkok. - Our guide and driver provided a very comfortable, educational and interesting tour of Bangkok. We saw a number of highlights, cruised a fascinating canal and saw many sites, while learning how people in Bangkok and Thailand live. I highly recommend this tour.

Good way to see the highlights of Bangkok - Great day. Had been looking forward to seeing all the cultural sites. Wasn’t disappointed. Guide was very good.
The only thing I would add is that the boarding on the long boat was very hazardous and then the canal boat ride that followed was a little too long. I do not think you should be trying to get people on a boat that is almost 6 ft below them

A bit chaotic but a good intro to the sites - Tour was a good way to see the city and key sites quickly. Our guide seemed very knowledgeable and was very concerned about our condition (especially given the hot weather. We did visit all the sites. The air conditioned van was a lifesaver on a hot day. The tour did feel chaotic though. From the moment of meeting, our guide spent a lot of time on the phone (setting up next tour sites I assume) so it seemed likely there had been little pre-work (likely the fault of the agency not the guide?). The guides English was only ok - likely this was why we got less background and other information than I would have liked, and likely why she often just left us at the door of some temples and told us to self tour and meet up in 15 minutes. We did agree that shortening the tour was a good idea given the extreme temps.

Not worth the price - Not worth the price we paid. Also if you start in the afternoon you will only see a few spots. They will not go later. And our driver got lost both ways.

Waste of money - Terrible waste of money!
We paid for the private tour as we wanted to see and hear the history. Our guide didn’t provide any information! We asked questions to try and get something from him. He couldn’t understand our questions even simple ones.
The guide was nice and the pace was fine however we paid to get history and we didn’t get any. We have used viator before and we throughly enjoyed the experiences that is why we used the company again. Unfortunately this experience was so bad we won’t be using viator again.
