We toured with the amazing Ying today, she took care of everyone and gave us options along the way. We were well informed about what we were seeing and Ying showed genuine interest in the group. Ying readily offeeed to take photos of us as we went along in key areas and she knew the right angles. We also had time to take our own as well as time to immerse into the atmosphere

I arrived on time for appointment time. Staff were ready. Spoke a little bit of English. I headed upstairs to change and the ladies were very quick. I just couldn't go into the Grand Palace, had no long sleeves. So just a tip for the Grand Palace

We took the Bangkok Wat Pho and Wat Arunhalf day walking tour with Mr. Tee today and it was the absolute highlight of our trip! we love him. Mr. Tee was incredibly knowledgeable about temples and monks and made the history come alive with great storytelling. We especially loved how he brought us to hidden corners of the locations. He went above and beyond by helping us taking great photos and recommending restaurants and mode of transport. he is also very Jolly person and hard not to love him. Highly recommended!"

A great Bangkok experience! Highly recommended! Tour Guide: At first, I thought the guide only spoke English and Thai, but it turns out she knows a little Chinese! Very impressive! Food: I experienced the lunch tour this time. Since I can't eat very spicy food, I noted that I couldn't eat spicy dishes from the beginning. The team thoughtfully replaced one of the main courses, green curry, with a non-spicy stew for me. Other dishes, like the first main course, the soup noodles, were delicious. The broth was incredibly flavorful and had both vegetables and meat; I truly drank every last drop. The Pad Thai was also very well-coated with sauce, and the shrimp were fresh and tasty! The mango sticky rice at the end is also a must-try; the mango was incredibly sweet! Drinks: There are no alcoholic beverages on the bus. They provide complimentary water throughout the trip, as well as a welcome drink at the beginning. At first, I thought it was some kind of medicinal drink, but it was a very refreshing lime juice. Finally, there's a hot coffee or hot tea. I chose the hot tea because they mentioned it had a caramel aroma, and it really did have a hint of caramel flavor, which was very unique. I even wanted another cup! As for other drinks, like Coke, you have to pay extra, starting from around 50 Thai Baht. Itinerary: Basically, you'll visit nearby tourist attractions such as the Grand Palace, Chinatown, etc. Since the guide provides commentary while you're eating, you'll need to listen to them during meals. However, they also provide about 10 minutes of break time (after the second main course) to allow you to digest and finish your meal at your own pace. Value for Money: Overall, I think it's very worthwhile. Mainly, if you're unsure where to go sightseeing, this tour bus allows you to eat and learn about Bangkok's attractions at the same time, which is a very comfortable experience. I hope to try the dinner tour sometime; I heard that dinner offers a view of Bangkok transitioning from day to night, which should also be great.

Royal Princess Cruise was wonderful! ✨ The vibes, the staff, and the food were all amazing! 🥰 You can also make a request if you’d like to transfer to another seat with a better view. The staff were so accommodating and made the experience even more special. The service was 100/10! ❤️ Definitely a wonderful experience!

Nancy was amazing and went out of her way to help my nephew who wasn’t feeling well. This was a fantastic tour and the evening perspective made it even better. I’ve done similar tours over the years but this was more professional and interactive thank all of them.
