Full description

This is a experience from Bangkok, built around Wat Phra Kaew, Tha Tian Pier and Wat Pho. It is run by Grandness Tour, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

A private day with a driver-guide is the way to see the most of a Japanese city or region in one day, because it removes the transfers between sights that eat a third of the day on public transport. Prices are usually per vehicle for up to a set number of guests rather than per person, and cover the car, fuel, tolls and the guide; entrance fees and lunch are paid as you go unless the listing says otherwise. Japanese guides are licensed for the work and typically punctual to the minute. Give the operator your priorities, and expect them to reorder the day around opening hours and crowds; that is what you are paying for.

The price covers Private Tour Guide, Tuk Tuk Car and Drinking Water. It does not cover Admission Fee and Wat Pho 300 Baht/Person, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Golden Place (Tha Chang Pier Branch). We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Grandness Tour before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

We loved our personalized tour with Miss Polly. She gave us very clear instructions on where to meet her and we had a really lovely couple of hours walking around with her visiting the grand Palace and other sites. She gave us historical context and political insight. She was thoughtful and always checking in with us. Always offering to take photos of us. And really made sure that it was personalized to what we were interested in and the speed we wanted to go at. I highly recommend.

Ik heb een fantastische dag gehad met Polly. Ze vertelde mooi en bevlogen over de architectuur en de geschiedenis van de tempels en Thailand. En ook over de huidige doelen van de gebouwen. Ze legde uit welke gebruiken de Thai er hanteren en nodigde me uit deel te nemen, indrukwekkend! Ze hielp me hierbij stap voor stap. Ik heb genoten en vind het absoluut een aanrader als je rustig meegenomen wil worden door een positieve gids, die ook nog tussendoor mooie plaatjes voor en van je wil schieten. Achteraf zijn we samen gaan eten op een grote lokale markt aan de overkant van het water, omdat dat t

It was amazing! Full VIP experience only for our family of 3 with so much help and attention (watter, wet wipes, directions and recommendations). Polly is an excellent guide! Her shared knowledge and interesting stories made our trip memorable and we didn't want for it to end. Many many thanks once more! 🙏

This was a wonderful tour! Irin was on time, had great communication prior to the tour, had wonderful energy, and was so pleasant. My daughter and I truly enjoyed the history that she shared. She also took wonderful photos! I would highly recommend.

I would say the perfect 2 hr activity to get a great taster of the Royal Palace and What Pho temple. There is so much to see that your head will be spinning. These attractions can become overwhelming but our competent and knowledgeable guide kept it flowing and enjoyable. Highly recommended tour!

Excellent guide. Erin was very informative and knew all the right spots to take us. It was great having a private tour especially as it was super busy on New Years Eve.

My tour guide Polly was the sweetest nicest tour guide. This was a perfect tour for someone who only has 2-3 hours to spare. She will help make sure you are comfortable and prepared to see all the sights. The grand palace and reclining Buddha were absolutely beautiful. It was a very memorable experience!!

We dachten dat de toegangstickets hier al waren bijgerekend je betaald enkel voor de gids + de tuktuk rit van een 300 tal meter. Jammer wetende dat de rit 100bth kostte dus dat je eigenlijk alles betaald voor de gids. Dit is uiteraard onze schuld door het niet na kijken. Onze gids was uiteraard fantastisch vriendelijk.

La guida è stata chiara e sintetica. Ci sarebbe piaciuto avere qualche informazione in più dal punto di vista storico

choosing this tour was a great option especially on a very crowded day in both the landmarks we visited. Our guide Kaojao was super helpful!!

Golden Place (Tha Chang Pier Branch)
The price does not cover admission fee (the grand palace 500 baht/person) and wat pho 300 baht/person. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Shoulders and knees covered, for men and women, and no ripped jeans, vest tops or leggings; the Grand Palace turns people away at the gate and hires out sarongs. Shoes come off in every building with a Buddha image, so slip-ons save time. Sit with your feet pointing away from the Buddha and do not climb on any statue for a photo.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
