Meet your English-speaking guide at Laem Chabang Port and depart for Rattanakosin Island, the original area of Bangkok when it was first established as the capital over 200 years ago
The Grand Palace
The dazzling, spectacular Grand Palace is undoubtedly the most famous landmark in Bangkok. It’s one must-see sight that no visit to the city would be complete without. It was built in 1782 and for 150 years the home of the Thai King, the Royal court and the administrative seat of government. The Grand Palace of Bangkok is a grand old dame indeed, that continues to have visitors in awe with its beautiful architecture and intricate detail, all of which is a proud salute to the creativity and craftsmanship of the Thai people. Within its walls were also the Thai war ministry, state departments, and even the mint. Today, the complex remains the spiritual heart of the Thai Kingdom.

Anne was a great guide. She was waiting at the port for us and we were taken to Bangkok in an air conditioned car. All of the attractions we went to Anne was very knowledgeable on the Thai history. We had a lovely lunch, A very enjoyable day. However we did not get to the Grand Palace or the Emerald Buddha due to closures and the company did not offer any alternatives this was disappointing.

We had the absolute pleasure of touring Bangkok with Vivi, and she truly made our trip unforgettable. Vivi was incredibly knowledgeable about the city's history, culture, and hidden gems, sharing fascinating insights at every stop. She went above and beyond to help us with the little things that made a big difference—like finding the perfect souvenirs and navigating lunch with ease. Her skills as a translator were invaluable and made every interaction smooth and enjoyable. Vivi’s warm personality, professionalism, and attention to detail made us feel completely at ease. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommend booking a tour with Vivi if you're visiting Bangkok—you’ll be in the best hands!

Our guide (Jhon, not sure on spelling) and the driver were early to meet us at the port. We were in the car over 4hr to Bangkok and the AC was very appreciated! Our ship changed the port to Laem Chabang from Bangkok and we knew we had to get there! We spend over 5hrs visiting temples, Grand palace, enjoying a long tailed boat ride and local lunch. It was very hot.. and you must cover your knees and shoulders… yikes. They did have cold water but recommend extra SPF, hats, umbrella etc. I also had another request to stop by 7Eleven and guide made it happen, would recommend! lol overall great day!!! Thank you!!

Alex and his driver are terrific. Great communication before the tour, we were picked up at our ship, and provided water in the large air-conditioned van for the 2.5 hour drive to Bangkok. Alex gave us fantastic guided tours of The Grand Palace and all the amazing Wats we saw. The ride on the long trail boat gave us many views of Bangkok. The included lunch was tasty. The day was very hot, but Alex provided us with cold towels and water for the drive home and took good care of us throughout the trip.

Vi-Vi was an exceptional tour guide for our private full-day tour of the highlights of Bangkok. She provided personal service with great attention to our needs. Our ship docked later than expected and Vi-Vi, with the help of the driver "Uncle Sam" made sure that we saw all of the sights listed for our tour. She accompanied us on the canal ride and every minute throughout the very long day. She took wonderful pictures of the two of us at each temple and provided thorough.information at each site. She even assisted us with getting our shoes off and back on at each temple. Vi-Vi even found a "Grandma's Kitchen" restaurant and helped us order a fine Thai meal. We highly recommend Vi-Vi and Uncle Sam for a terrific tour of Bangkok.

We saw many temples and were moved by the beautiful artistry in them. The Buddhas were so impressive. The work to create them and keep them in such amazing condition was amazing. Our guide ( Addy) was attentive, friendly and very knowledgeable.

The tour is great. About two and a half hours to Bangkok but seeing the palace is worth it. Amazing. John was our guide and he was very informative and knowledgeable. The ride was in a huge luxury van. Just keep track of time for getting back. There’s a lot of traffic in Bangkok because of subway construction.

You get an overview of Bangkok. You see lots of temples, amazing structures and get a cruise on the river which was the high point for me.

Our guide Vivi was very engaging and really loved her job. She gave us a lot of history while at the same time giving us time to go on our own. She took a lot of group and couple pictures for us with our own cameras and her camera and sent us the pictures she took from her camera on the drive back to the ship. Very well planned and organized tour from this company! I definitely recommend this tour especially our guide Vivi.
