Beautiful temples & interesting history. Our tour guide was difficult to understand & repeated himself a lot. Would have been a better tour with a more dynamic & energetic tour guide.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable about each part of the Grand Palace. He stated very interesting historical facts about the construction of the Grand Palace.

Really enjoyable tour. She was very informative and she spoke great English, super respectful. She got us there and back fabulously and chatted away to us on transport. It was very very busy and she walked very fast so we kept on losing her though!!
