Private Bangkok City Tour Full Day With The Grand Palace

A full day in Bangkok

We had an amazing full day tour of Bangkok with Mr. Wat. He picked us up at our hotel arriving early and immediately presented us with fruit and traditional Thai sweets. Our tour included the Golden Buddha, the Emerald Buddha, the Grand Palace, Temple of Dawn, and the Reclining Buddha, everything that we wanted to see. Mr. Wat provided information on the sites themselves as well as commentary on everyday life in Thailand. It was a day well spent!

Fabulous tour of temples and palace. Don’t miss this one!

Fantastic tour of Bangkok. We had the most wonderful guide Chanin. He was extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and patient. He allowed us to take our time at sites so we could take a lot of photos. We saw all the major temples and walked the palace grounds. Ate at a fantastic little restaurant and even walked through the flower market. Absolutely loved our day.

Great tour for a one day overview of Bangkok

My wife and I truly enjoyed our full day tour of Bangkok. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and shared so much of Thailand's rich history throughout the day. We visited several temples, which were incredible, especially the reclining Buddha. We also had lunch at a local restaurant and visited the flower market, which was fun. We even took a short ferry ride across the river to get to one temple. Be prepared to walk a lot (over 10K steps) and wear appropriate temple dress-I was fine in long pants, polo shirt and flip-flops. My wife wore a sleeveless dress and used a shawl to cover her shoulders, which had been fine at other temples in Phuket and Chang Mai, but at the Grand Palace this was not deemed acceptable, so she had a buy a shirt (100 baht from a local vendor). Our guide gave us water at the start of the tour, but be prepared to buy more along the way as the humidity is brutal! We were so glad to have this expert guidance, as navigating these busy and crowded tourist sites on our own would have been next to impossible. If you only have one day (like we did) I would highly recommend doing this full day tour.

Fabulous private tour

The tour was amazing. Miss Yuwanee was so knowledgeable, thoughtful and kind. I was so impressed with the places we went to and all the information that was given as well. I loved walking through the flower market and even folding the petals of a lotus flower. The driver was superb and I was so grateful to be in such good, safe hands. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful city highlights with me. It was unforgettable.

Beautiful temples

We loved our tour and and guide. She was fantastic. Due to Covid-19 we stayed away from crowded areas, but still feel like we saw much of the city and its beauty. Still hoping to receive the pictures that she took of our family~

Awesome city tour guide

We had a wonderful time on the city tour! Our guide Aey was very knowledgeable and very accommodating . She made sure everyone was comfortable and gave us ample time to appreciate the different places we visited. She truly made our stay in Bangkok unforgettable!

Fun way to discover Bangkok

What a riot we had with Jazz our tour guide. Jazz is a foodie. He totally loves Thai food and was full of enthusiam throughout our tour. Time just flew by as we were having so much fun. He took us to a 5 very different food experiences and challenged our tastebuds with yummy and very different foods. There is no way were would have found these food gems among the vastness of food venues. The highlight for us was the hotpot meal where we got to cook our own food right at our table. Fun! The TukTuk drivers were really good as we were whizzed through the main and back streets seeing the sites, lights and sounds of Bangkok. Bring your appetite !!! Jazz makes sure you are totally stuffed by the time you leave. Jazz was super organized, got us through all the venues and we never felt rushed at all. Kudos to him and his TukTuk team. We had a blast and we highly recommend you either start or finish your visit to Bangkok.

Highly informative tour and a must when visiting Bangkok.

A must tour of Bangkok cultural sites and pagodas. Notwithstanding the crowds, and confusion at the sites, this tour is a must.

A perfect way to get a little taste of everything

A 9-5 tour with hotel pickup in a private car by our tour guide an her driver. Very professional and well mannered. Lots of temples and locations to visit. The driver would take us to each location, drop us off at the door, and later pick us up. The tour guide was with us the whole taking pictures of us, giving us details of each location, and guiding us without hesitation. We were taken to Thiptara for lunch, provided with water, and all entry fees to temples and the private boat ride were included.

Great Day in Bangkok

Chutima was a Fantastic guide. She was informative, patient and very fun. My 22 year old daughter, and 74 year Mom has a wonderful day!

The way to see Bangkok!

We had an amazing experience with our guide who took care of us from 9am until 5pm and every step of the way. Not only did we learn so much about the history of Thailand and Bangkok, she showed us the beauty of the temples and the history behind them. We also enjoyed learning so much about the monarchy and how it is such an important aspect of Thai culture. The boat ride on the river was perfect and the restaurant for lunch was delicious. 5 star experience all around

Excellent day tour of Bangkok!

Excellent day tour of various points around Bangkok! Our tour guide was both knowledge, informative, and so polite. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our experience. The boat ride in particular was a treat. Seeing the different temples was enriching and spiritual. Highly recommend for your tour of Bangkok. Company was also extremely nice enough to re-accomodate our scheduled follow-up tour on short notice.

Amazing Day! Great introduction on our first visit to Bangkok

Having just arrived in Bangkok on our first trip to Thailand, we were hopeing for a tour to get us situated. Our guide, Dusit, picked us up and lead us on a remarkable day that truly fit the need. We visited Temple of the Emerald Buddha, the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, the Grand Palace, and Wat Traimit. We also got a walking tour through China town markets and the flower market. After lunch we took a very enjoyable long boat cruise of the Chao Phraya River. Dusit was knowlegable, and enthusiastic. He seemed to really enjoy intriducing us to a city and country he loves. Would defintely recommend this tour to anyone.

First Tour in Bangkok

This was mine and my boyfriend’s first time in Bangkok. I’m glad that we chose this tour company, our guide Gimao was very friendly, outgoing ,knowledgeable and down to earth. She made the tour enjoyable and gave us a lot of information about the different temples and murals that we were introduced to. She was also a great photographer for us. Our driver Mr. Thu was nice and got us to each destinations quickly and smoothly. We were taken to a buffet lunch on a boat and the food was really good. Our favorite were the coconut pancakes. Overall, I would recommend anyone visiting for the first time to book this tour as it will be a great way to see key sites and get a taste of what else you’d like to explore in Bangkok.

Bangkok in a day

We were looking for a a way to see the major temples and sites in Bangkok but only had a few days in town, so we booked the Private tour. Gimao and our driver “Billy” picked us up at the Shangri-La hotel. We had confirmed with the tour company by email the day before and they were very quick to get back to us. Our guide and driver took us through China town to the Golden Buddha and then for a walk through the market. A little shopping ensued. We also made it to the flower market, which is fascinating and beautiful. The palace grounds are almost sensory overload with the numerous temples built by the Kings over the years. We cant tour the actual palace (no longer in use except rare state occasions) but that was little matter as the rest of the site was more than amazing. Lunch was at a small place, family run, near the Palace and was great, with fantastic service by the family, with the Matriarch stopping by frequently to check on us. The reclining Buddha, Dawn Temple, a boat ride in a long boat (a little bit of a challenge to get in and out but a great way to get down the canals and see more of the real Bangkok), completed our day. I am sure I have left something out, but we got back to the hotel certain we had hit the complete list. Our guid was fantastic, she had details on the sites as well as gave us insights to family life in modern Thailand. Our only issue as pasty 60 yr old Midwesterners was the heat. Even in November the heat indices as over 90, and the crowds don’t help. This is where an air conditioned car and someone who knows how to pace the visit really pays off. Gimao continuously produced water bottles for us and found bathroom stops. Overall I would recommend highly and encourage this for anyone wanting to get to know Bangkok in a day.

private bangkok tour

4 star rating. good tour guide. good car provided my daughter continuously vomit after the tour maybe because of the lunch provided. maybe next time, mcdonalds or burger king is advisable

Private Bangkok City Tour

Excellent friendly attentive guide. Nothing was too much trouble and she ensured that we had an informative fun day.

Superb private tour of Bangkok highlights!

Our private guide Miss Chutima Nawsoon, and our driver provided us with a fabulous day. Chutima took care of every detail for us and we could have not been happier with our tour. The tour consisted of only myself, my brother, our guide and driver -- perfect! Thanks so much again!!!!

A day in Bangkok with Gimao

Gimao greeted me at my hotel with her bubbly personality and our driver and I knew right away that the day was going to be enjoyable. We set off on the grand tour talking and getting to know each other, her English is excellent! She is a bright girl with much knowledge and a quirky sense of humour to portray Bangkok and it’s history in a remarkable fashion. She is well knowledged in the history of Bangkok, all the temples and the royal palace and had no issues answering any questions I had or going into detail to ensure I fully grasped the history and relevance of each stop on the tour. She went above and beyond to make sure I got the most out of my 8HR tour..including paying the long tail boat captain a little extra to ensure that I saw a few Komodo dragons throughout the canals..she saw how excited I was to see Komodo dragons for the first time and made it happen..thanks again Gimao!! At each stop she brought me to the best spots for pictures and gladly took some of the best pictures of my trip of me for me..she’s quite the photographer!! All praise to Gimao and our driver for making the most out of my 8HR private tour..I was able to take in most of the key temples and stops to really get a feel for the culture in Bangkok and what it stands for to be a Thai person. Beautiful people with rich history and a lot to be proud of with all the hard work that goes into these temples and monuments. 10/10 would recommend Gimao and this private tour for anyone who is looking to take in as much of Bangkok and it’s history as you can in a day.

Experience Bangkok at your pace

An awesome day at Bangkok with a tour of some of the famous temples, the Grand Palace. Thai lunch at the local restaurant was delicious. The long tail boat trip gave us a glimpse into the local life. The guide was patient and kept a pace which my aged mother could keep up. She was knowledgeable and helped us get some very good pictures of the places we visited.

Great one day tour of Bangkok!!

Our tour guide Giamo was wonderful and gracious! She was very knowledgeable and had a sweet personality. We visited many highlights of Bangkok from the Golden, Emerald and Reclining Buddha temples, Chinatown and flower/vegetable markets, longboat ride down a residential canal to the Grand Palace. We went at our own pace and never waited long for the car/boat to take us to the next attraction! Lunch was a buffet aboard a docked boat with many Thai food options. This tour was a great way to see Bangkok in a day.

Comprehensive Private Tour of Bangkok

Because of my mother's physical limitations, I booked a private tour of Bangkok. Siri, our friendly and knowledgeable tour guide and the driver picked us from our hotel accommodations - the Legacy Suites in downtown Bangkok at 0800. We were driven in a spacious comfortable air conditioned mini-SUV. Our first stop was the Temple of the Golden Buddha, which boasts the heaviest golden Buddha in the world weighing at 5.5 tons. Our pictures glistened from the gold. Siri, then walked us through the fragrant Bangkok flower market - Pak Klong Talat. It was an outdoor market ordained whith vibrant colors of various flowers, orchids and floral offerings to the Buddha and Hindu dieties. Then we proceeded to the temple housing the Reclining Buddha, which spans an impressive 46 meters long - one of the longest golden structures I have ever seen. As we walked through Wat Phra Kaew complex, Siri narrated the story of the colorful pyramid like structures composed of mosaic tiles and porcelain china ranging from teal to magenta and gold. The experience imparts a sense of great spirituality and diversity in the land and its people. The temple structures in the compound illustrated legends with Buddhist and Hindu origins. Siri took us to the Riverside Bangkok restaurant as part of the tour package. The Thai Buffet style restaurant was located in a boat at the pier. It was a satiating experience...Thai food everywhere you go in Thailand is always flavorful! After lunch, we boarded a long boat to tour the canals of Bangkok which included Bang Kachao and the Chao Praya River. It was an interesting experience. The poverty and unsanitary conditions, in which communities lived in around the Canals was humbling and poignant to see. There was a temple along the river in which we fed fish - that area is a sanctuary for fish because it is prohibited to catch fish in front of the temple. Our tour concluded with Siri helping us to arrange our attendance of the Siam Narimit cultural show. It was a spectacular performance showcasing the rich and colorful history and culture of Thailand. It had the most sophisticated stages I have seen - as it contained a flowing body of water that resembled a river and quick changing stages. Siri was so friendly and professional and she and the driver made us feel welcomed and immersed in the history and culture if Thailand! I'm ever so grateful for such a travel experience that was worth my money.

Amazing Tour!!

This tour was nothing short of amazing!! Our tour guide Siri was the best! She was so friendly and kind. Siri and her driver were both very friendly. She took us to different temples, down a water canal on a boat, and we had a nice lunch. Siri was very knowledgable and also took amazing photos of my husband and I to remember the day! I highly recommend this tour and Siri as your guide!!

The perfect tour with a fantastic hostess!

We obviously haven’t been on all the tours in Bangkok but I’d say that this was phenomenally well organised and Miss Chutima Nawsoon was a funny and engaging hostess. Who ensured that we all had a great time. The three of us were picked up from our hotel by Miss Nawsoon and the driver for the day at the right time with no issues. Over the course of the day we visited China town, the gold, jade and reclining Bhuddh’s as well as the Palace and the flower market. We were also taken on an exciting and informative boat ride around the canals of Bangkok where we saw Monitor lizards, about 8 feet long things, and feed the catfish outside one of the many temples. We also stopped several other temples throughout the day. We had a great buffet lunch on a boat on the river. Much needed as you burn a lot of energy! Throughout it all Miss Nawsoon kept up a funny and informative discourse on Thailand, Bangkok and what it means to be Buddhist. I have to say that we finished the day exhausted but happy and feel that we could not have chosen a better tour. Thank you Miss Nawsoon you made our trip.

Gimao made all the difference. She made the tour incredible.

Our guide [Giamo] was delightful and very knowledgeable. She shared her culture and history with both reverence and glee. She took time to answer every question posed. She explained the subtleties regarding the Thai people and their place in the world. She was wonderful in getting us in and out of the monuments as well as showing us the local fare. She walked with us, laughed with us and broke bread with us. Always cheerful and personable. We made a friend! This was money well spent and time spent even better. Transportation was great and the driver was very pleasant as well.

Excellent Tour!

My cousin and I flew to Bangkok while we were on vacation in the Philippines for a quick 3 day visit. The first day we went to Chinatown to try the street food and were completely overwhelmed by the crowds, traffic, & not knowing where to go or what stands to try. That night we decided it was best to take a risk and book a private tour to see all the “must see sites” in the city and boy are we glad we did!!! Our tour guide, Siri was absolutely amazing! She arrived at our hotel on time with the private car. The car was clean, air conditioner was on, & she even had cold bottled water for us. During the tours Siri was very knowledgeable about the sites and could answer any questions we had. The Temples we went to were very busy, but she knew exactly where to go & where to take the best pictures. Lunch was absolutely delicious. They had a western buffet and an authentic Thai Buffet. The Thai food was divine. I absolutely loved everything I had to eat. The boat tour on the canal was a lot of fun and I felt like a bonus.

Amazing Bangkok Tour

Aey, our tour guide, was extremely sweet and pleasant throughout the tour. She took us to all the beautiful temples in Bangkok and explained in detail the history behind the temples and different buddha figures and positions. We were able to book another tour with her company and the owner, Mr. Aboulghasem, was kind enough to offer us a discount since we previously booked a trip with hs company. The transportation was immaculate: from the vehicle and "tuk tuk", everythng was first class! Highly recommend!

Excellent one-day tour of all of Bangkok's Highlights

With only two days in Thailand, on a recent 18-day/five-country Asia excursion, I needed to make the most of my time. This tour was great; I saw all the major sights in Bangkok in a very efficient manner. Highlights included the Grand Palace, Wat Pho (home of the reclining Buddha), the Golden Buddha, a canal cruise (a chance to see how real Thai people live), Wat Arun, and the flower market. At the buffet lunch, which is included, when I originally chose perhaps not the most adventurous choices, my guide encouraged me to sample some of the other dishes, and I ended up falling in love with a fish soup that she had recommended. I also learned a lot about Thai history (and current events) throughout the day. As a solo female traveler, I felt safe throughout the entire day with both my female guide and male driver (both of whom spoke English). I recommend this tour -- especially if you have limited time in Bangkok or for a first-day introduction to the city even if you are fortunate to have a longer stay than I did.

Experience of a lifetime

Giamo, our guide, was excellent. She was courteous and fun. Her spoken English was okay. I would recommend her to anyone. It was all about seeing the sites and having an enjoyable time at same time. We loved every minute of it. She was even receptive to calls and interpreting with our vendors/ cab drivers, days after the tour.

Εξοχος!!

Good tour! Good guide Stella,she was helpful and knowledge, Nice place and We had a great time and very enjoy with this sevice! I hope to travel again

Disappointed

Have used Viator many time and been very happy. However, disappointed in this tour. Guide was late for pickup. Requested large vehicle a small car came. Guide rushed us, was on her phone all the time, did not discuss sites as we passed in car. Tour was so terrible we didn’t do afternoon part.

Get the most out of 1 day

This was a great way to visit all the ‘must see’ spots when my time was limited. While the temples were very interesting & beautiful, the cruise down the river in a long boat was the calmer & cooler highlight for me. Tour guide Emy was fun & very knowledgeable. I have to give a shoutout to the driver for calmly navigating his way through the very dense BKK traffic. He was awesome!

Private Bangkok City Tour Full Day With The Grand Palace

We had a fantastic day with a very good and knowledgable guide. She knew a lot and took us to a excellent lunch restaurant as well. Much recommended! /Helena

Brilliant Day.

Our guide and driver picked us up our hotel and negotiated the early morning traffic to our first stop, the Temple of the Golden Buddha, we spent about an hour here with all the features and points of interest being explained before being picked up and taken to the second stop, a wander around the flower market, which as a gardener, I found fascinating! We did the Grand Palace, Reclining Buddha, Emerald Buddha, and had a brilliant lunch at a corner cafe. After this we walked to the 'canal' for a boat ride. The canal is the river flowing down through Bangkok and was extremely busy with huge barge traversing it and too choppy for my partner!! We walked to the ferry boat instead and crossed to the Temple of the Dawn, the last stop before finding our driver and heading home. A full day with excellent descriptions throughout, loads of time for photos, and rest. A great guide who knew her stuff and was very thoughtful and accommodated our needs!!

More than Amazing!

Our tour guide was one of the best tour guides I have ever had the pleasure of having. We have travelled many places and Kularb was the most helpful, amazing, sweet, knowledgeable, and accommodating guides ever! I would tour with her many more times if given the chance. We all had such a great time and that is all thanks to the effort of Kularb and the wonderful and patient driver Mam Holidays sent us. We all concur that we would 100% recommend Mam Holidays to every and all tourists thinking of traveling to Bangkok. Just delightful!

1st time to Bangkok ☆

Our private tour was amazing and the tour guide was a good time. She made the tour an amazing experience for us! We couldnt have asked for anything better :)

Very good tour overall.

PROS: I booked through Viator’s website, which was user-friendly. It was easy to book the tour, and I received the guide’s contact information immediately. The tour was a little pricey compared to other private full-day tours. However, it was worth the amount paid being that I found and booked it the night before the tour. My guide, Aye S. of Mam Holidays Thailand, was amazing!!! She did a wonderful job providing information about the sites, helping to take photos, and allowing sufficient time to rest and hydrate. The sites chosen for the tour were well-selected…hitting many of the “must-sees”. Also, most of the souvenir shops that we stopped at had nice, reasonably priced items. CONS: I asked if we could stop by a jewelry store. The guide took me a little out of the way to Gems Gallery, where I purchased a few items. Afterwards, I learned that I had grossly overpaid for the gems purchased. This was disappointing, because the guide portrayed to be knowledgeable enough to recommend a reputable business with fair prices. Overall, I really enjoyed the tour and would recommend it to a friend.

Bangkok Day Tour

We only had one day in Bangkok before joining our cruise ship and this was a wonderful way to see the important sites. Our guide, Siri, was informative as well as making the day a lot of fun. She took lots of pictures for us and wouldn’t let us give up when we had problems getting into the boat for the tour through the canals. The step was so steep for two ladies with knee replacements, but we did it and glad we did. She was thoughtful and considerate. Perfect day for us in Bangkok.

Private Bangkok City Tour Full Day With The Grand Palace with Mam Holidays Thailand

Our tour guide with Mam Holidays Thailand was Ms Supatsara Wonghong and we could not be more pleased.

Great way to see the main historic sights of Bangkok

This tour provides a way to quickly and effectively get round the main historic sights of Bangkok. Great guide, nice lunch and some fantastic sights.

Andrew, Emma & Mark Burgess

A fantastic experience for a day with a excellent guide, Miss Supatsara Wonghong (Khun Aey) , who is very knowledgable about all amazing temples and other areas in and around Bangkok. Lunch was excellent, our driver was also very patient with the Bangkok traffic and was always there to pick us up at every rendezvous point, all round a exceptional trip and well worth the price.

Bangkok City Tour

Aey was nice and good. She explained everything. We had water bottles Free and she even bought us flowers and food. The restaurant were we ate for lunch was good too. Best pad thai we ever ate. Going for a private tour was great because we had control of the time and was able to do all the temples because Aey knows were to go.

Very enjoyable Visit

One of the best tours we took in Thailand. They are about the only tour operator who early on communicate with us personally. The tour guide was a wonderful lady (Khun Aye). She took her time, didn't rush us through. was very cheerful and accommodating. The sight seeing was awesome and the most inclusive list of sites in Bangkok. We were a large family traveling and we had the best time. Definitely recommend them. Love it

Well Organized tour

The tour was great and well organized. The transportation was very comfortable and our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable.

A grand visit of Bangkok city

It is a compact, well designed tour. It covers 3 mesmerizing temples of Bangkok city and a visit to multiple complexes of grand "Grand Palace" which also includes Emerald Buddha Temple inside the palace. A boat ride in the canals to experience the floating market and livelihood of local people is an additional feature of the tour.We are lucky to have a very knowledgeable and friendly guide, Ms. Rose. She shared information with great detail. The lunch is a part of the package and we had an opportunity to explore the great cuisines of Thai delicacy.It started from our hotel and ended at the same place as it was a Private Tour. We enjoyed every bit of it and learnt so many new aspects of Thailand. A must for every tourist!

Our private full day tour of Bangkok...

<p>Our private full day tour of Bangkok was outstanding! Our guide Rose was fantastic. She was highly knowledgeable, friendly and helpful throughout the day. Rose was always happy to take photos for us and to answer any questions we had throughout the day. She was always getting us cold bottles of water which helps in the humid weather. We also had a fantastic driver who was safe, reliable and a bit of fun as well. The local restaurant Rose took us to for lunch was excellent. We loved seeing the Royal Palace, going on the boat ride and all the various temples! We also ended up back at our hotel a bit earlier which is also fantastic as we can then cool off in the pool! Highly recommended!</p>

Great Tour.<br/> Loved our...

Best Tour with Amazing Tourguide

I did a private one day tour of Bangkok on August 7 with Ms. Supatsara Wonghong (Ms. A) and Mr. P (our driver) with my group of 4. It was amazing! We saw so much and Ms. A was so knowledgeable and was able to tell us so much more about the temples and Buddhas than we would have learned on our own. The accommodations were great as the private van was air conditioned and Mr. P was always right there to pick us up. Ms. A was great at taking pictures of our group and making sure we got the best experience possible. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see all these temples and Buddhas in one day!

Since we only had one full day in...

<p>Since we only had one full day in Bangkok, this was the perfect private tour for our group of 7. Khun Aey was so friendly and knowledgeable and gave us a wonderful tour. The hotel pick-up and drop-off was ideal. Highly recommend.</p>

Bangkok higlights with the best guide

We can recommend this trip, it was great for us who had never been tho Bangkok before. Will also accentuate our knowledagble guide Rose who took us trough the day in a fantastic way.
