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
Wonderful experience

5.00We had a wonderful experience with Kiki as our tour guide. She was very informative and shared interesting details throughout the tour. Kiki answered all of our questions, happily took our photos, and even suggested what we could do next to make the most of our visit. She was professional, spoke excellent English, and made sure we stayed on time without ever feeling rushed. Highly recommend her as a guide!

5.00Mr. Tee gave us an amazing tour and taught us so much about the culture. He has the best jokes to make it an extra memorable time while still teaching us about the history and story of the temple. He also took some great photos of our family and overall was a wonderful guide.

5.00Visiting the Grand Palace & Wat Phra Kaew was such a special part of my trip to Bangkok. The moment I walked in, I was amazed by the details, every wall, roof, and statue had something unique to admire. I felt both overwhelmed and amazed at how beautiful everything was. The Emerald Buddha was the highlight for me; even though it’s small, the energy and respect around it gave me goosebumps. Walking through the grounds, I realized how much history and culture are preserved here, and it made me appreciate Thailand even more. It’s one of those places that makes you pause, look around, and just be grateful to experience it in person.
Awesome trip!

5.00My visit to the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew was truly special. From the moment I walked through the gates, I was in awe, the gold-covered temples, the detailed murals, and the peaceful presence of the Emerald Buddha left a deep impression on me. It felt like every corner told a story, blending spirituality with stunning craftsmanship. Despite the heat and crowds, the beauty and energy of the place made it all worth it. A memory I’ll carry with me for a long time.
Interesting!
