Amazing, amazing, amazing. I loved This tour. Our guide was funny and sweet. The Grand Palace is very grand. You definitely get enough time to see everything. We also got to see the town of Bangkok on the way there and the guide explained a lot about the architecture and history. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Could not do the tour as our daughter was not well. However we did go to the grand Palace another day on our own. It is a must see place.

The guide was professional and helped us in Grand palace. We were able to understand the meaning for various symbols, buildings and thai culture. He also did not rush us and provided ample of time to get photos and look and places of interest. Definitely recommend to have guide in Grand Palace. Otherwise, you will look at many buildings without knowing what they are

Doing what: Bangkok's Grand Palace Complex and Wat Phra Kaew Tour
Tour of Grand Palace and Wat was excellent and the guide was both knowledgeable about the relevant history and happy to discuss life in modern Thailand, which was a great bonus.The downside of this trip was that the visit to the headline Palace and Wat took less than half of the time of the tour. What was not listed on the Viator itinerary was the visit to a Gem Centre and which we would most certainly have avoided, having on a previous visit been hijacked into a visit to the same centre for the 'hard sell'. What was also extremely frustrating was the length of the drive through Bangkok afternoon traffic first of all to get to the Gem Centre and then back across the city to the hotel in a minibus provided at and by the centre and which waited for a full load before setting of and making numerous drops. We felt that 2.5 hours of our holiday had been hijacked and I would hope that Viator will either have this part of the visit publicized in its web site itinerary to give people the choice of booking it, or have it removed by the local providers. The local providers were in all other aspects highy organized on our several encounters with them.

The Grand Palace is definitely a must see in Bangkok. Interesting artifacts and grand architecture and well as some nice outdoor eating stalls all lie within the palace complex.

The Grand Palace is a must do while in Bangkok! The buildings are amazing and you can lose time while in the complex. Just remember that you need to be dress appropriately!
Review by Tighthead Prop, Australia, September 2010
I think the Grand Palace is a must-see experience for every visitor to Bangkok. The buildings and statues are amazing examples of Thai architecture, and you could easily spend a couple of hours wandering the grounds.

We found this was a great tour. We felt there was enough time spent at the Grand Palace and Wat Pho to have a good look around and it was also interesting to see how some live along the river. Being on the water was also a nice break from the heat slightly!. We also had an absolutely fantastic guide Joe who made it a great day. He was so friendly and informative. We were lucky enough to be the only ones on the tour that day and Joe gladly answered all of our questions. We would definitely go on another tour like this.

Doing what: Bangkok's Grand Palace Complex and Wat Phra Kaew Tour
Fantastic tour, the guide was fantastic and made this tour even more interesting. It was very hot and we spent a lot of time seeking out the shade, bring water! We did see a orchid farm before the tour, and then a gem factory afterwards which was not mentioned in the tour. This was a bit frustrating epecially as a taxi driver has previously taken me to the gem factory against my will to get petrol vouchers. Despite this, the grand palace was amazing enough and the guide was so good that I still think this is a must do for anyone visiting bangkok

Interesting first insight into Thai culture. The guide was excellent giving good commentry on the way to the Palace. The Grand Palace itself is definately worth visiting and we were given plenty of time to view the various areas within the grounds.

Doing what: Bangkok Dinner Cruise on the Chao Phraya River
This was wonderful and the cruise staff were very good. The views at night from the floodlit river was awesome and the Grand Palace and other temples were mesmerizing. The fact that we went on Valentines night was a double bonus.

Doing what: Bangkok Grand Palace and River of Kings Canal Cruise Small-Group Tour
The cannal cruise was a good way to see another picturesque part of Bangkok. The Longboat ride was interesting. Persnonally, being an older lady ,I found it a long way down to board the boat and even harder to get out. I had to be helped by strong arms! The Grand Palace is definitely a "must see". It made a very long and exhausting day on foot in the heat for me, but I am very glad I have had the experience.

Doing what: Bangkok Canals Cruise including Grand Palace and Wat Arun
I'm so glad that we booked this tour. Not only did it start early so we were able to enjoy Wat Arun with no other visitors, but everything was streamlined at the Grand Palace, which I was thankful for. The small tour of the waterways of old Bangkok was really enjoyable.
