Save your money, just go to museums yourself! - Save your money! This is glorified car service. Admission to Suan Pakkard palace has museum guide included that gives the tour and only costs 100 bhat per person. Admission to Jim Thompson house also has museum guide included that gives the tour and only costs 200 bhat per person. Only thing you get from this tour is to be driven to the two museums. On top of that, they start the experience too early, so we got to the museum to wait for it to open. Get a taxi instead! You’ll have the exact same experience for a fraction of the price. The Viator experience provided guide did nothing. Worst Viator experience I have ever had and feel very cheated from the whole experience. That said, Suan Pakkard palace and Jim Thompson house both give great tours, but you’ll be way over paying if you do it with this experience because the museum is what actually gives the tour and it’s included in your ticket to the museum.
