Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and made sure we packed a lot of information into our half day tour.
Dear Emily, We are glad to hear that you had great experience. thanks for choosing us and your valuable feedback. Hope to see you soon.
Amazing tour. The palace and temple are a sight to be seen. Well worth it
Nina was so knowledgeable and an excellent guide. She anticipated our questions explaining everything in great detail equating back to things we knew in the US. Excellent experience!
This tour is very complete and the guide was very friendly as well as the driver. In my opinion, to call it a full day tour it should last longer and visit more other places since it only lasted 5 hours.
Dear valued customer thanks for your response . We appreciate you for sharing your experience with us . Hope you had a great time.
After having some problems with the local travel agency in Bangkok to accept our plans for the day (but great assistance from Jill and Ronja from Viator), we had a fine day incl. lunch in a Thai Restaurant. The problem was, that it was must for us to visit the Royal Barge Museum (because it is very seldom that the barges are out on the Chao Praya river for a celebration). But the Museum was definetly closed because of the barges had to be prepared for a ceremony on the river on Oct 24,2019).It was hard for us to accept this cicumstance, but we made the best out of it and visited among others the the Grand Palace, Chinatown and Wat Arun with a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. Summary: If you plan such a Flexi Full Daytour, either let Viator resp. their local Agent make plans for the day, or give Viator suggestions of 4-6 attractions you would like to see on this tour. Then we are sure you will find a solution and will have a memorable day !
We are delighted to read that you had an amazing time . Your kind words on our products and services are highly appreciated and we are sure that our team will be delighted to read your comments.
