Driver was not clear that he had to get our tickets to Jim Thomson House and if he had to bring us back after Jim Thompson. Had a little problem too locating him at pick up.

Perfect for our tour!
Guide was caring, patient and kind. She even took us on the sky train to the river boat for our next appointment. How awesome!!

Interesting
Very interesting house and the story of Jom Thompson. A pity that the tour guide had a very thick mask on and rattled off information behind the mask - difficult to hear and to understand.
