Discovering Bangkok with La La: A Memorable Tour
Bangkok's rich history came alive during our tour led by the exceptional guide La La. Visiting iconic sites like the Grand Palace, Temple of the Emerald Buddha, and Temple of Dawn, we were treated to a perfect blend of historical insights and cultural depth. La La's guiding style was spot on – informative without being overwhelming. She knew exactly how to share just the right amount of information, and when our group asked questions, she seamlessly provided fascinating additional details. A delightful surprise came at Wat Phra Chetuphon, where we encountered numerous visitors dressed in stunning traditional Thai costumes. The temple grounds became an impromptu photoshoot paradise, with people elegantly adorned in vibrant, intricate traditional dresses. These beautiful outfits – ranging from delicate silk to elaborate court costumes – created a mesmerizing visual spectacle against the temple's historic backdrop. The Amulet Market and other stops offered unique glimpses into local culture with the option to take home a memento of Thailand. For anyone wanting to explore Bangkok's cultural heart, this tour is a must-do. ★★★★★ Highly recommended!

Good private tour
We saw everything we wanted to in a hassle free way with our lovely guide Kit and Kate the driver. The tour was adapted to our requirements. Lovely clean car , collected us from the Anantara and deposited us back at the end. We saw the Grand Palace, the Emerald and reclining Buddha, a trip down the canals and a visit to the temple.

Kate and the driver were both fantastic.
Kate my guide was lovely. After the heat & humidity of an hour or so at the Grand Palace I was not feeling well. In fact Kate was terrific getting the assistance I needed. The driver was also right by the exit to collect us. Thankfully I recovered however I elected to go back to my hotel rather than continue in the heat. They couldn’t have been more helpful which was greatly appreciated. Thanks once again.

Great! Recommended!
We were picked up directly from the hotel. Great driver and guide! Very nice, competent guide (Benjamat)! She explained everything to us super, answered questions, was accommodating and despite many people led us through the palace. Small minus point: We did not know and were not informed that the amulet market is closed on Sunday. That's a shame. Also, the price was not cheaper, although we could not visit the market. The 4 hours are already scarce without an amulet market, so you definitely have to factor in more. Absolute recommendation, however, would not enter the palace on Sunday

Private Tour where you are made to feel like a VIP.
I am happy to recommend this private tour to anyone wanting to visit the Grand Palace and major Temples in Bangkok. My female guide met me promptly in my hotel lobby and arranged for our male driver to collect us. The vehicle was well maintained with great air-conditioning. My guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable, having been a guide for thirteen years. I had ample opportunity to explore each of the tour sites, with the guide offering to take photographs at significant locations and providing me with a cold drink. I never felt rushed and when we left each site, the driver arrived promptly to take us to the next site.

Aye was a great guide! She was helpful with our other plans as well for the day even after our tour ended. We battled the heat but it was a great tour seeing the main sites in town.
