1.00Horrible = NO experience at all! If late, you will leave and let customers down, considering we are talking about a Friday in BKK, it’s an ugly gesture from your side.

4.00I enjoyed having a guide to help give me historical and present context of the Grand Palace and the Emerald Buddha! If we went by ourselves I feel like we would have had a poorer experience. My only feedback is for the guide to slow down a little bit
