We had an amazing time at the Grand Palace! Our guide Tuy (Toi) explained every story beautifully and made the tour very interesting. He is knowledgeable, friendly, and very passionate. Highly recommended!

I've been to Thailand several times before with my sons, and this year, I had the opportunity to visit again. My husband and I enjoyed a private, independent trip to Bangkok. I've done the Grand Palace tour a few times, but I never really got to hear the explanations in detail. So this time, I decided to book a guided Grand Palace tour! Even though we started with a morning tour, the Bangkok weather was hot. Our guide, who was waiting for us 10 minutes early, was fantastic. Since it was just the two of us, we had a lovely, intimate experience. We learned about the history from King Rama I to King Rama X, and he also shared stories about the folklore depicted on the walls, which was very entertaining. Our guide also took some beautiful photos of us! In Korean, he's a 'Sportage'! 😜 Is his Thai name 'Jat'?! 😅 Thai names are so difficult! Thanks to him, I feel like I learned a lot about Thai history, which was wonderful. I think it's worth doing a historical tour with a local guide at least once when you visit Thailand. Thank you for explaining the Grand Palace in such hot weather. Please stay healthy, and if we visit again, I'd love to request your guidance for other places. 🙏

Our amazing guide was the best! They'd say, "Stand here!" at each spot and helped us get hundreds of Instagram-worthy, filter-free photos at all the hot spots. Even with the hot weather, heavy rain, and sweat, they never stopped smiling and took such good care of us, which made me love Bangkok even more. I would have really regretted it if I hadn't taken this tour.

It was a great experience for us. Our guide Chopin made the day easier with her grace and guidance in explaining each and every nook and corner of Grand palace and Emerald Budhha. Even though we were stuck in traffic and got delayed by 15 minutes in meeting Chopin, she via phone call told me not to worry and take a ticket to Emerald budha and once we entered she refunded the money and took us with the team and explained me all the things that we had missed. Thank you Chopin for your kindness and support. She even helped us in taking our pics. 🥰🥰

Our tour guide Lili was truly excellent! Her Chinese was fantastic, allowing for seamless communication, and she was incredibly warm-hearted. We went on our tour on Monday, and afterward, she even recommended we see the free Thai Royal Mask Dance. Her explanations were wonderful! 😊 Very good, you can definitely trust Lili as your guide! 👍 Next time my mom visits, we'll book with Lili again.

Tour Guide: Very responsible. Emotionally stable. Also tried their best to tell us what we needed to know and things to pay attention to. Also accompanied us to the Grand Hall of the Great Hero to pray. Very good. Group Size: There were seven of us. This is a suitable group size. Not too many to handle, etc., creating difficulties. Itinerary: Going to Daiyokuji Temple first, then to the Imperial Palace, is a suitable choice. Rest: They all let us choose whether to take pictures, move forward, or rest. Acceptable. Attractions Along the Way: The attractions are very beautiful and worth a visit.
