Superb half day Bangkok tour

Our half day private Bangkok tour, including the Palace, long boat trip & temple, was just perfect in time & fulfilled our needs for these locations. If affordable, it is definitely worth the extra money for the private tour, as we could choose the amount of time at each location and spend time seeing what we wanted to see. Our tour guide Army was brilliant, with excellent English, very knowledgeable & gave us all of the relevant information. He is one of the best guides that we have had in all our worldwide travel. He is a credit to your company & and you are lucky to employ him! Our driver Vee was courteous, safe, and punctual. Definitely a worthwhile tour!
Awesome and detailed

Pom our tour guide was superb!! She was organized and prepared. She knew all of her history at the temples. When we were in the canal she showed us the fish and gave us some bread which really showed me her attention to detail in regards to everything on the excursion. Made sure we had enough water because it was very hot and humid. And she took loads of pictures to document our fabulous excursion.
Great overview of the Grand Palace and more.

Army was a great tour guide and very thorough. Answered all our questions and helped me buy something without bargaining stress. The Grand Palace and reclining Buddha were very interesting and he took pictures which he air dropped to us so we could all be in them! The boat ride was hilarious due to the engines and main canal waves, then the small canal showed us the richer and poorer sides of life. Vee, the driver, had to drop and pick us up whenever Army called, and he was always there!
A good day out.

A fun day; the canal boat was so interesting with their huge engines and we loved the ride in the main canal. The smaller canals were interesting to see the poorer and richer sides of lives. The lunch was fabulous; great choice. The tour of the grand palace and the reclining Buddha was very thorough. Our guide helped my buy things also without having to stress about bargaining.

Great way to see the canals of Bangkok. The long-tail boats travel on canals of the Chao Phraya river. It can be warm if on a sunny day

Ms Lek did a fantastic job!! She shared with us all the relevant history of the City and Thailand. The tour of the Royal Palace was probably the highlight of the trip. Very knowledgeable, very kind and well worth doing. We would definitely recommend the tour.
Best guide in Bangkok!!

It was great introduction to a culture rich country. We were with Lucky and she took care of all the little details and it was very convenient and she helped us with a lot of recommendations for the reminder of our stay in Thailand.

Today’s tour of Bangkok with Gwen and Mr. Bong is truly a day that we will never forget. We started the day at 8:00am with a huge smile, meeting Gwen in our hotel lobby. The tour got underway at the flower market where we spent time watching these floral artisans create beautiful garlands, wreaths and flower art. We bought 3 lotuses and headed for the temples. Gwen later showed us how to create our own beautiful flower art which was given to honor Buddha at the temple. I cannot begin to capture all the history, culture, art, beauty, food and wisdom that was shared with our during today’s tour with Gwen. It was a full day but Gwen scheduled the day to give us breaks from the heat with things like a relaxing and cool boat ride-even getting to see the artist district on the river. It was so good to be able to see and better understand the old city versus the new and some of the foundational history, particularly on our first day. Mr. Bong amazed us throughout the day with iced wipes and frozen bottles of water!! He kept us chill when temps hit 100 degrees Fahrenheit. We had lunch with the locals in a lovely family owned restaurant! We ended the day on the top of the Golden Mount with an extraordinary view of the city. If you are planning to go to Bangkok, Quality Thai Tours are fantastic- Ask For Gwen and Mr. Bong. If you aren’t planning a trip to Bangkok….well, you should be!!
