Badly organised and not as expected from the description. Had to use public transport and not a professional guide

We had a wonderful day with Koi touring the major temples of Bangkok. She was so knowledgeable and made for a very pleasant and interesting day. The temples are beautiful, and lunch at a local restaurant was delicious. We highly recommend this tour.

Our tour guide, Nok, was very friendly and accommodating. She met us before time at our hotel (Royal Orchid Sheraton on the river), and it was only my wife and I on the tour. Since it was a Sunday, the boat company would start only at 10 am. So, Nok took us on a tuktuk to the Grand Palace first. There we first enjoyed the Emerald Buddha, and then walked around the Grand Palace complex, where Nok explained the various sights and attractions. We walked a short distance to see the giant Sleeping Buddha. Then we took a ferry to cross the Chaopraya River to visit Wat Arun. The views from the top were lovely. We rode the ferry back and then took a tuktuk to the Marble Temple to see another Buddha, and enjoyed its courtyard. Finally, the tuktuk drove us through the main avenues of the city and dropped us back at our hotel. Overall, it was a great experience, many thanks to our tour guide, Nok. Thanks!

The tour was very well organized. The guide picked us from our hotel and then we begin the tour. All entrance tickets and transportation costs to visit all places were paid by the guide. He got in queue to get tickets to each place. Peter was very knowledgeable and thorough with the history and interesting stories about each place. He explained everything properly. He was very caring and considerate, was patient the whole time in this tour and never rushed it even for a minute. I highly recommend this package to all tourists visiting Bangkok for first time as this will allow you to see most famous attractions nicely. If you plan to go to same places on your own without guide, you'll never be able to see it that good as I saw on my tour people without guide were just lost and didn't know exactly what needs to be done or where to go next. But with our guide, we always had directions and stories. This truly made it an amazing experience. Guide is definitely recommended. Booking this tour is worth it. I would like to thank La Vacanza Travel for putting a good tour together and big thanks to our Guide Peter who made the experience memorable. Thank you :)
