Our tour guide Pun was very knowledgeable. The pace of the tour was great. It was great learning about the history of Thailand and its people.
Thank you for your support and positive comments about your experience with our service, we will try to improve ourselves as you mention for future clients.
Our guide, Mr Kwang was great. He gave us interesting history and cultural details and kept a herd of disconnected adults all together in a crowded location. We got the VIP package, so our entrance fees were pre-paid. Mr Kwang kept track of that and that was a nice feature. I would definitely book with Viator again. The flower market at the end of the tour seemed a bit like a non sequitur; it was nice but not connected to the historic temples and not a necessary part of the tour. When we showed up at the starting point, it was a bit overwhelming; there seemed a zillion people, but the representatives got all of the people on the various tours sorted out and it went seamlessly. Thai outfits can be rented on the grounds.
