Reviews
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!
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. 🥰🥰
this is a must! having a tour guide will let you appreciate the beauty and richness of thailand even more. The name of our tour guide is KEN. He's very welcoming, easy to communicate with, very knowledgeable and engaging, we really had fun during our tour with him
If you would like to know about the history of the Grand Palace please take the tour. Our guide went above and beyond to give us all the details and make us understand the Thai culture. He even waited for the latecomers and he was funny but super knowledgeable about everything. Thank you Ken, we will see you soon 🌺
Nice tour in the Grand Palace. Our guide was very friendly and happily walked us through and explained the history behind some important buildings. He met us on time in the designated area and he also proposed additional activities after this one was completed (i.e. private long boat tour). He took us plenty of photos! Would highly recommend this for those who want to get a glimpse of the history and the details behind the buildings!
Our guide was very helpful and considerate. Even waited extra spare time for the latecomers twice during the tour! And he helped with lifting wheelchairs for the elderly/people who need physical assistances.
absolutely recommended. our tour guide was absolutely knowledgeable and gave further insight behind the story of the murals and why the certain designs of the buildings in the palace are the way that they are. just be prepared with adequate sun protection as it can get really hot in some areas
The trip was very nice. Our Guide Suphot is very hardworking. He give us alot of information and he was very thoughtful and kind to take a picture of us with all the wonderful spots. it was totally worth it that i get to capture the nice memories i had inside Grand Palace and the Temple. He even made sure to bring us in the Pier going to our next schedules. Thank you so much Suphot
Inexpensive since the tour includes the entrance ticket. Meeting place is not difficult to find by following the instructions closely. There was only one big group and myself. The big group was more interested in taking photos. So I had the guide to myself on the history and culture of the sights. Guide is knowledgeable and kind. Purchased cold drinks and loan umbrella for us as it was a super sunny day.
The tour is absolutely amazing and definitely worth it. Our tour , Sam, is very friendly and very knowledgeable. The monuments in the compound are majestic! You will wonder how the architects and builders managed to finish all these masterpiece from 2-3 centuries ago! Definitely recommend if this is your first trip to Bangkok, get ready to embrace the magnificent Thai history and the greatness of the kingdom!
