Great - The tour was well organized and educating. We were very pleased with our guide May, she was so caring, before every stop to share information she made sure we were in the shade and comfortable. She also answered all our questions we had. We suggest the tour for small group, we were 6 people, it was just right - did not need to wait long time for everybody taking pictures - we could move on in good speed. We recommend the guided tour.

Have to go!!! - Great tour guide, super interesting and informative, made the whole visit so much more fascinating and insightful. Highly recommend going to the Queen SiriKit Museum of Textiles - amazing - and the Khon Performance - incredible!!!. Both are included in the Grand Palace ticket. There are free buses that take you to the Khon Performance - it is actually not that far from the Grand Palace, so easy to walk back.

Good experience - The tour guide was kind and knowledgeable. The pickup location was nearby. This is a must-do for being in Bangkok.

Must Visit in Bangkok! - My flight was late in the afternoon and I was trying to find a tour I could squeeze in at the last-minute. This one by TripGuru exceeded my expectations! The Grand Palace is a must-see in my opinion and having my guide Pim there sharing the history behind it made the experience so much better!

The place is amazing, but not much "guiding" done by the guide - Let's start with the positives: - The temple and the palace are spectacular - The people that joined in on the tour were nice - The guide has gave us each a bottle of water towards the end of the tour which I don't remember was included. - The tour was fairly cheap compared to other tours. That's it for the positives. The general issue of this "guided" tour is that there wasn't much guidance made. We kept losing the tour guide, at some points it was hard to find him afterwards as he was almost hiding from the line of sight, and at a large distance. Additionally very little information was voluntarily provided during the tour. Most of the information I got was from actively asking him questions, but most of of his answers were short. Also, shortly after the start of the tour, he told us we need to stop less to take pictures, otherwise we wouldn't have enough time to see everything on the tour. While the group still kept stopping to take pictures at basically every turn (because the place is indeed spectacular), he ended the tour after 1.5 hours, saying he has another group soon. So I recommend either go with a different tour if you want to learn about what you see.
