Great 6 H with Enjoy

We had a great informative but hot morning / early afternoon with Enjoy, visiting the Royal Palace grounds and the 2 Wats nearby, had extra time after a great lunch in the neighborhood, so we ended by visiting the flower market

Not good

Unsure if Mike was actually lincense tour guide as he pointed at things and pointed things that came from China. Plus unsure it body odor or poorly washed clothes there strong odor coming from him and personally it was too strong in the very hot weather. He also took his shoes off and had one foot on chair when eating. I am sure it was comfortable for him but very not professional when in public. He is nice old man but he did meet my expectations at alI.. I cut the private tour short.

Great visit on our first visit to Thailand!

Elena was awesome! Very knowledgeable and informative. Also, she was able to help in translating indifferent locations. We did the train market and the floating markets and they were just delightful. I would strongly recommend Elena for anyone who may want to tour in Thailand.

Mr. Joker was a great...

Mr. Joker was a great guide for our private Bangkok tour! He explained a lot about the city and we visited areas we wouldn’t have ventured to our own. We travelled by sky train, metro, tuk tuk and water taxi. He even provided us with photos after the tour. Highly recommended.
