A little pricey but very good experience

5.00Good experience. Cost is a bit on the higher side. Our guide 'Chai' was very informed and enthusiastic. The sites are all worth visiting.

1.00The tour we took was the most expensive tour of the 3 and I felt it was not worth the money. Even though there were only the 4 of us we felt rushed and that we were being hurried along. The tour was originally listed as 5 hours and we were finished in 3???? We were picked up at 9 instead of the 8:30a.m. We definitely would not recommend this tour to any of our friends I actually feel like it was a rip-off.

5.00Jaimmy was excellent. We had some traffic issues during the tour and she was able to pivot and change the plan to get to all the spots on time. She also had great suggestions for the rest of our stay.

5.00Our guide, Nui, is very well informed on the history of the sites as well as the new and old developments along the road from our hotel to the Royal palace. She also knew the best places to take photos! One of our group needed extra care and Nui was right there.

4.00Apart from the delayed start time by 1.5hrs and the altered pick up point going from across the street to 15 mins drive away the day was flawless. Guide was informative, transport was clean and comfortable, there was almost no queuing due to preorganised tickets and we were excited to discover what we thought was a group tour turned out to be private! Overall a great day.

A once in a lifetime experience

5.00Napat was an excellent & knowledgeable guide. Everything we saw was awesome. We were in a group of 4 which was ideal. All admission fees were included in the tour price, Napat would pay then gave us our tickets. A bottle of chilled water was in the mini bus at the start of our drive. When entering any of the temples you need to remove your shoes, wear slip on shoes and socks to make it easier. Toilets are available. It was a once in a lifetime experience to be visiting the sites during the Queen mother lying in state. Overall all the places we visited it wasn't overcrowded, this may be due to the circumstances. A must see trip when in Thailand. Although the tour said 5 hours, ours took 6 hours.
10 out of 10 for Nine (our guide)

5.00Had a great guide Nine to take us on our tour. Fortunately, we did our research and were not caught out by the dress requirements. Tourists should be mindful and read up on dress requirements for the Royal Palace & Temples. Sadly and understandably, we couldn’t see as much of the Royal Palace out of respect for the Queen’s passing. It was still worth visiting even in this time of mourning for the country. The temples were terrific, highlights the Reclining Buddha and Arun Wat, temple of dawn.
