Perfect private tour of the Grand Palace and Emerald Buddha - Our tour guide, Marie was very pleasant and knowledgeable and shared her extensive knowledge. She made the tour interesting. It was also nice to be picked up at our hotel in an air-conditioned van.

A Wonderful Way to Tour the Place and Budhha - What a wonderful way to tour the Palace and Buddha. Our guide was quite friendly and knowledgable. She provided hotel pick up which was most welcome. The crowds were large and there were many structures to see so it was nice to have private narrative and someone to help make the most of our visit. We were glad we booked this tour and would recommend.

Amazing tour of grand palace and emerald buddha in Bangkok - The whole family really enjoyed this tour. Our tour guide Nok was very informative and funny. The place and its grounds are beautiful. She also took some beautiful photos for us at the palace. We were considering doing these attractions on our own but so glad we booked through iAsia Thailand.

Amazing morning out at the palace. - Great value for money! What I like about this agency they are very customer driven. Booked the Grand Palace and received my vouchers almost immediately. Ms May emailed me to reconfirm and the driver and guide was on time and the tour around the palace was fantastic. This is the only travel agent I have ever known to have several direct lines without extension numbers or recordings with emails and an emergency number. That’s great service when you are travelling alone in another country. Big thanks to the manager Nick who also helped me find my glasses on the bus which I left.

Excellent Tour - We had a very intetesting tour.
Our guide, Eddie, was very knowledgeable.
He not only had extensive knowledge of the temples themselves but also pointed out places of interest during our trip to and from the temples.
Even our transport was first class.

Not worth it to go for... - Not worth it to go for this with guide. Because it is not worth it. Unnecessary talk and less seeing.
