Quality Thai Guide Was one of the best tours i have opted for. Right from the meet and greet it has been a pleasant experience. The vehicle was extremely comfortable, tour gude was extremely knowledgeable and very enthusiastic while sharing information. Took some amazing pictures made us try local dessert. The boat ride was the highlight of the tour. Very personalised and well managed.
A very good service done by the company- Quality Thai Guide. They made it so comfortable trip to understand the culture. They were always so considerate, humble and cooperative all the while, during the trip and shopping. The vehicle used was very comfortable and clean for the me and my friends. Very warm welcoming staff. .
Paul, our personal guide for the day, was absolutely wonderful. He is a wealth of knowledge, made sure we were comfortable and taken care of at all times, and was also genuinely interested in learning about us as well. Picked us up at the hotel, great communication. We also had a driver, so Paul was free to chat with us. The temple ruins were beautiful, we visited several of the sites, and we took a boat ride around the area. Paul was a GREAT photographer and he knew ALL the spots to get great shots. He even took pics when we weren’t paying attention and sent them to us. That’s always really nice. If (when) we go back to Bangkok we will definitely be hiring him for another tour — he does several including the floating markets which we never made it to this time. (Only in Bangkok for three days.) 8am to 4pm. Total of 8 hours. He took care of all entrance fees.
Thank you for your great review, Yours sincerely
