Perfect Introduction to Bangkok - This was a great tour that packed a lot into a relatively short period of time. Mina was a great guide and took fantastic care of all of us. I enjoyed myself and would highly recommend.

Great Experience to see Highlights of the City. - Our tour was very enjoyable. We felt like we got to see most of the “must see” sights of Bangkok all on this trip. Our guide, Mina, was amazing and full of knowledge. Her English was better than mine and she had a great sense of humor! Mina made the tour a highlight of our trip!

Great tour of main temples - Great tour covered a lot of the main sights and temples with informative insight from the guide. Travel was walking ferry and tuk tuk and we did cover a few miles but mainly flat and with the crowds. Recommended !

Perfect Quick Tour of Bangkok Highlights - Our guide, Mina, was fabulous. Her English, knowledge, and organization made the tour easy and informative. The group was small (9), and she made sure we knew what was going on.

World class sight seeing with amazing venues with a helpful English speaking guide to explain. - Totally world class venues to explore!! All round amazing Emerald Buddha, Reclining Buddha, Palace and Wat buildings. Mina was an enthusiastic and helpful guide. During the tour we travelled by boat, took a tuk tuk and walked a lot. Don't underestimate the walking required to enjoy all the sights and sites in the high heat and humidity!

Well organized tour - My group recently joined the Royal Palace and Temple Tour in Bangkok, and overall, it was a good experience. The tour creatively combined buses, tuk-tuks, water taxis, and boats, adding excitement with the diverse modes of transport. However, because it was marketed as a walking tour, we were hoping to spend more time walking the streets of Bangkok and experiencing and learning about local culture, rather than being shuttled from sight to sight. Our guide was efficient with logistics but lacked some engaging historical anecdotes. The language barrier made it hard to have our questions answered and learn insights beyond the “tour script”. We explored iconic temples like the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, and Wat Arun, whose beauty and history were captivating, though very crowded. The unexpected inclusion of lunch was a pleasant touch. Overall, it was a well-organized tour with some areas for improvement.

Should've Just Gone without a Guide - I wish there was a way to pick who was in your tour group. The other tourists with us were quite obsessed with taking photos and nothing else. They ate up a majority of the time taking and re-taking hundreds of photos. They were also quite inconsiderate of temple/palace rules and would yell, take off cover-ups, etc. Our tour guide kept reprimanding them which really ruined the mood. Barely learned anything and would've been better just going alone and we could've seen a lot more too beyond just the photo op places. Tour also took much longer because of all the photos, too.
