Kate and the driver were both fantastic.
Kate my guide was lovely. After the heat & humidity of an hour or so at the Grand Palace I was not feeling well. In fact Kate was terrific getting the assistance I needed. The driver was also right by the exit to collect us. Thankfully I recovered however I elected to go back to my hotel rather than continue in the heat. They couldn’t have been more helpful which was greatly appreciated. Thanks once again.

Very knowledgeable tour guide, very beautiful temples! Had a great time on this tour! Just wished the tour guide had been mindful of traffic at the end of the day. Ended up getting back to the hotel an hour late cause we hit terrible traffic. Tour should end at 4:30 to allow for some drive time back to the hotel.

Great! Recommended!
We were picked up directly from the hotel. Great driver and guide! Very nice, competent guide (Benjamat)! She explained everything to us super, answered questions, was accommodating and despite many people led us through the palace. Small minus point: We did not know and were not informed that the amulet market is closed on Sunday. That's a shame. Also, the price was not cheaper, although we could not visit the market. The 4 hours are already scarce without an amulet market, so you definitely have to factor in more. Absolute recommendation, however, would not enter the palace on Sunday.

Private Tour where you are made to feel like a VIP.
I am happy to recommend this private tour to anyone wanting to visit the Grand Palace and major Temples in Bangkok. My female guide met me promptly in my hotel lobby and arranged for our male driver to collect us. The vehicle was well maintained with great air-conditioning. My guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable, having been a guide for thirteen years. I had ample opportunity to explore each of the tour sites, with the guide offering to take photographs at significant locations and providing me with a cold drink. I never felt rushed and when we left each site, the driver arrived promptly to take us to the next site.

Late and difficult to understand
Tour was scheduled to begin at 9. Tour guide arrived at 10:15 which meant we didn’t have lunch until 3. Guide was accommodating but his English vocabulary and pronunciation made his narration and instructions very difficult to understand. The price was higher than some other similar half day tours however we selected it thinking it might mean we would get higher quality service. But perhaps because there were only 3 of us, the tour company could not find a more skilled English speaking guide.
