Doing what: Bangkok's Grand Palace Complex and Wat Phra Kaew Tour
Seeing the Grand Palace is a must for all Bangkok tourists. The guide, June, was professional, funny, knowledgeable, and spoke English very well. The only issue I had was that after I booked the tour I received an email from Viator stating that the tour was cancelled, after calling the company I just had to make arrangements to be picked up at a closer hotel.

Doing what: Bangkok's Grand Palace Complex and Wat Phra Kaew Tour
Simply beautiful and a diffinate "Must See" in Bangkok. I visited in the afternoon and the Grand Palace Complex was packed with visitors, so maybe morning would be better but my guide Joe was fantastic and his knowledge was exceptional.

The Grand Palace complex is worth see, the only thing drop the gem factory at the end then the day would be enjoyable.

Doing what: Bangkok's Grand Palace Complex and Wat Phra Kaew Tour
I definitely recommend going to see the grand palace, but there's nothing that really differentiates this tour from going to see it on your own. Basically you're paying for the convenience of someone picking you up at your hotel. But if you don't do this tour - you definitely should find some way to see the Grand Palace!

Doing what: Private Tour: Bangkok's Grand Palace Complex and Wat Phra Kaew
The grand palace is quite extraordinary. A complex set of buildings without apparent order, every where you look there are works of art, the meanings of which are not always evident without guidance. Remember to look at the detail of the decoration which is quite beautiful.

Doing what: Bangkok Dinner Cruise on the Chao Phraya River
Absolutely a beautiful way to see Bangkok. The views of the Grand Palace and Wot Poh temple, among other sites, are hard to explain. Many choices for dinner and the staff on the boat was very accommodating.

Doing what: Bangkok's Grand Palace Complex and Wat Phra Kaew Tour
The Grand Palace Complex is something not to be missed. It is extraordinary.
However, I was disappointed that as part of the tour, which was not descibed in the Viator write-up, was a stop at a gem store. An overbearing sales person walked me through the showroom.

Doing what: Bangkok's Grand Palace Complex and Wat Phra Kaew Tour
Both the Grand Palace Complex and Wat Phra Kaew are amazing and are a must see. The major downside to this tours is the fact that we were taken to a gem factory/ outlet which we were not interested in and this also eat into our tour time.

Doing what: Private Tour: Bangkok's Grand Palace Complex and Wat Phra Kaew
the grand palace is one of the most outstanding places i ever was among more than 30 countries already known. Its a shame that our tour guide, besides very few explanations, was leaving behind a big part of the palace untouched. I saw it and warned him Id like to go there to take photos. very poor english, very bad professionalism, but please dont miss grand palace

Doing what: Bangkok Grand Palace and River of Kings Canal Cruise Small-Group Tour
Our guide was excellent for the Grand Palace Tour, the only issue was that our bus did not turn up for the River tour so we had to make our own way to the Grand Palace.

Doing what: Bangkok's Grand Palace Complex and Wat Phra Kaew Tour
Once again the tour company almost forgot me. But after the mixup the tour went well. Highlight was the Wat Phra Kaew Tour. Guide was very knowledgable although she tried to bring us to a gem factory. We were not interested in that aspect so was happy when she agreed for us to spend more time in the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew

Doing what: Bangkok Canals Cruise including Grand Palace and Wat Arun
Tour was very good, but I have a complain regarding the turist guide: because at the end of visit of the Grand Palace he recused to take me back to my hotel without visiting the jelwery factory, so I got back to my hotel by my own.

Doing what: Bangkok Grand Palace and River of Kings Canal Cruise Small-Group Tour
The tour was very interesting and I can recommend everyone to visit Grand Palace only with a tour guide. The hotel were we met was not that easy to find and you need a long time to get there, if you do not stay in that district. My hotel was in Silom road. The staff there told me that I should consider 1,5 hours to get there with the taxi. But as my tour was on a Monday morning, the streets were stucked and I took the express boat on Chao Praya river, which was by far the fastest mode of transport in Bangkok. The tour itself was perfect and I enjoyed a private tour with my guide, as the second person didn't show up at the meeting point. We waited half an hour, then we started the tour. Probably the other person was stucked in traffic as well.
