Visiting the sites was a great experience, as they are well maintained, however as they are free entry, this could easily be done at a fraction of the price if you hire a driver for the day to take you there. Once at the memorial sites all is self explanatory anyway and we were left to our own devices to look around and find information. I expected that paying this high cost ($450AUD) would also include a professional historian, not just a local person who has looked it up. Our guide was attentive and pleasant, with some good general knowledge of the events, however for the cost, an historian with more info was expected. I would not recommend doing this tour at this price.

Very informative tour, our guide had great knowledge of the areas we visited and historical information. This is a long day tour and covers a lot of ground.

A fantastic tour but I was left underwhelmed by the guides lack of knowledge and English skills. Tours like this are in essence a history lesson whictfell a little flat. The guide was a lovely lady nonetheless but it was a little disappointing. It is a long day and be ready for up to 7 hours in your vehicle. We were caught in the traffic coming back into Bangkok which turned the return journey from 3 to 5 hours.
