4.00The guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the palace, Kings, and history. His English was difficult to understand. He was caring and had a pleasant personality, we enjoyed what we could understand:)

4.00It is very hot between the walls of the Palace etc. Best to wear open shoes and sleeved tops. Our guide was good enough.

5.00Can be very hot! Be prepared. No water is provided by your company. You can but it though but no credit card and no big bills accepted. Tour guide “Sun” was excellent- very knowledgeable and organized
The place is amazing, but not much "guiding" done by the guide

2.00Let's start with the positives: - The temple and the palace are spectacular - The people that joined in on the tour were nice - The guide has gave us each a bottle of water towards the end of the tour which I don't remember was included. - The tour was fairly cheap compared to other tours. That's it for the positives. The general issue of this "guided" tour is that there wasn't much guidance made. We kept losing the tour guide, at some points it was hard to find him afterwards as he was almost hiding from the line of sight, and at a large distance. Additionally very little information was voluntarily provided during the tour. Most of the information I got was from actively asking him questions, but most of of his answers were short. Also, shortly after the start of the tour, he told us we need to stop less to take pictures, otherwise we wouldn't have enough time to see everything on the tour. While the group still kept stopping to take pictures at basically every turn (because the place is indeed spectacular), he ended the tour after 1.5 hours, saying he has another group soon. So I recommend either go with a different tour if you want to learn about what you see.
Good experience

5.00The tour guide was kind and knowledgeable. The pickup location was nearby. This is a must-do for being in Bangkok.
