Worth doing, but take some water and a hat as it's very open in the sun.

The guide spoke very good English and was very friendly. I didn't feel rushed at all.

Be aware that the Wat Phra Kaew has high pressure jewelery sales. Unless that's what you want, opt to leave before you go in.

Excellent guide and tour, unfortunately the heat and humidity distracted from the tour and there were very few places to escape the heat or humidity.

Well I must say this was the better tour provided from the three tours we took while we were in Thailand this year. The tour guide was very friendly, spoke very good English and explained alot of history about the Grand Palace. We found it both the most interesting and inspiring tour of the three that we had while on holidays. The tour guide was very well spoken and made our tour very interesting with her knowledge and humour combined which gave us alot of insight to the culture and history of the country. Yes, we were very pleased and inspired by this tour. Definitely worth doing!

I really enjoyed this tour--our guide was great. But I didn't like having to go to the gem place afterwards. I would have rather just be brought back to the hotel or at least be given the option of going to the gem place. It was packed with tour buses, and it was awkward to be placed with a 'handler' that follows you through the showroom. Don't they realize that most travelers would be more receptive to buying something if they were given the opportunity to look without someone walking around with them and hounding them every step of the way? This was the least enjoyable part of the day and a downer.

More Buddhist temples and glitz. You don't get to see inside the king's quarters, and it is the hottest spot in Bangkok.

Tour was good, however, seemed a bit rushed. Also, bear in mind that not all buildings are open at the weekend, so is better to do during the week.

Too much political talk and didn't like the gem shop included on this tour.
