The tour guide named Luke committed the cardinal sins of his trade. He didn’t properly look after his group. He would suddenly up sticks without making sure his group knew he was on the move. Without holding any stick or umbrella, unless you stuck like a barnacle to him, you would lose him. It was a constant feature of our tour - trying to recover lost guests. Not something you could afford to do in the Grand Palace. Plus he would often speak to individuals instead of conveying info to the whole group. My recommendation would be to split this tour up as it felt VERY rushed. You wanted to spend more time at the Grand Palace. In hindsight it would have been better to buy one of those Audio Guides at the Palace and to spend more time visiting the many halls and learning more about the history and culture that way as we didn’t get much from Luke! Also I was not expecting to see so many visitors on a weekday (due to Chinese New Year holiday perhaps?) but it made for a claustrophobic experience. The Palace and the temples are definitely the Crown Jewels in Bangkoks rich and diverse historical tapestry! Wish we had more time to do them justice!

All great stops. Guide gave us lots of information. The tuk tuk. Was an added bonus and a great experience. It is helpful to note that this does not end back at the starting point. You are left at the last temple and need to make your own way back (this is not walkable- you will need to pay for the ferry/tram).

Great tour and was customized to the group which was a bit large at 10 people. We kept losing parts of the group. Maybe a stick the goes up higher so everyone can see it in a crowd would have helped us all stay together.
