Puk was a wonderful tour guide. She was friendly, knowledgeable and very accommodating. I was traveling alone and we had so much fun together visiting the temples and important sites. Puk is a great ambassador for Thailand. I learned so much from her about the country, the history, the traditions, and the religion. I will always remember the special day that I spent with Puk in this magical land. Thank you, Puk!
Fantastic day touring the city of Bangkok, including the flower markets, Grand palace and various temples, all of which was made exceptionally good because of the fantastic English speaking guide.
It’s very hot in April, so bring a fan and water. I’d recommend slip on shoes since you must remove shoes before entering the temples. Our guide Bella was very knowledgeable about the sites and areas we passed along the way. She was very patient with our questions
Excellent service. Kit was knowledgeable and helpful. He gave us all a history lesson and took loads of photos for us. A very good tour… would do it again Kit accommodated our requests to adjust the schedule to fit in snack breaks and pit stops along the way … the perfect guide!
WOW! Bella knows her “stuff”! Her details of temple, monarchy, and architectural knowledge are amazing!
Sadly, this was not the experience we had hoped for. We understand it is difficult to communicate in another language but when a tour offers the tour in english we do assume we will be able to understand them. Our guide was very difficult to understand so we felt we learned almost nothing about the places we were seeing. She also walked very quickly ahead of us and rarely looked back and adjusted her pace to ours. Many times we lost sight of her and she eventually back tracked to find us. Overall we were disappointed with her attentiveness and ability to speak clearly in english.
We had an excellent experience on this tour! Our tour guide Kate was super knowledgeable and incredibly nice, which made everything even more enjoyable. It’s the perfect tour if you only have half a day and still want to see and learn a lot. Highly recommended!
We didnt had too much time in Bangkok, but Phacharakit was amazing, he showed important and beautiful landmarks around Bangkok, right on time before the bus left. Totally recommend it.
This private tour includes a personal driver & guide in a fancy car. Our guide Farah taught us about the long history of all the temples & Buddha’s we visited & she is really lovely. It was hot in the sun but she tried to avoid the crowds. The tour is advertised as 4 hours (which suited me & my 15yo) but it is much longer due to the amount there is to see plus traffic - I recommend you check timing with guide as soon as you are picked up. Also, our guide took many photos of us using her own camera which was quite weird but they did get emailed to us afterwards. Overall a great tour, just too long for us.
We had an absolutely fantastic tour with Kate as our guide. She was wonderfully knowledgeable and very kind.
