Fabulous tour! This allowed us to see two very different sides of Bangkok, from the opulence of the Grand Palace and Wat Pho, to the homes and businesses along the canals. The canal cruise let us enjoy a traditional longboat, and we got to see giant monitor lizards sunning themselves on stones and piers. The Grand Palace Was absolutely stunning, with its intricate stone work, statues, and Emerald Buddha. Wat Pho, Thailand's first university and home of the massive reclining Buddha, was truly a sight to behold. PK was a great guide. Thank you!

Had a great time learning more about Thai culture. PK was great and was super knowledgeable about everything. Also, the tour ran smoothly and seamlessly.

P.K (or T.K) was a great guide. She kindly waited for me (I was 10 minutes late) and was very knowledgeable. Unfortunately the Grand Palace was closed, but we visited other temples that were beautiful and very very interesting. She also took great pictures of me.

A great way to experience some of the key cultural monuments of Bangkok. A guide is helpful as there are historical and cultural facts you won’t get if you walk around by yourself and our guide, Ton, was also so friendly and easy to get along with. A really fulsome morning although I will note our tour only lasted three hours, instead of the advertised 4–5, so it was a bit expensive.

Lots of history and beautiful temples. Our tour guide Paul was helpful and knowledgeable. I especially enjoyed the relaxing boat ride in the beginning.

Pam is an AWESOME and sweet and LOVELY and KIND and HUMBLE and KNOWLEDGEABLE GUIDE. She was very aware of the best details about the Temples, Canal Ride, and Grand Palace. I had an accident falling down a step that resulted in a broken foot right at the end of the tour, and she got me medical help from the Grand Palace, got me to the hospital, and stayed with me until I got to my hotel. I feel so fortunate to have had her for our guide. Wonderful doesn't explain it.

Our guide, Pam, was incredibly informative and clearly passionate about her city, which made the experience even more memorable. She went above and beyond by surprising us with a visit to a UNESCO listed theatre show with Thai music/ dancing a wonderful and unexpected highlight of the day!

Pam was our tour guide and was very passionate, helpful and informative. The meeting location was easy to find and the tour was very well organised from start to finish. The longboat tour was really fun and we fed the fish and Pam also took us to a theatre to see a 30 min UNESCO show which was a nice surprise.
