Full description

This is a 2.5-hour experience in Bangkok, built around Grand Palace Bangkok and Wat Phra Kaew. It is run by TripGuru Thailand, 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.

Japan's outdoors is organised: trails are marked, mountain huts are booked, and the walking routes with history, the Nakasendo post road between Magome and Tsumago and the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage in Wakayama, are done in comfortable day stages with luggage forwarded. Cycling tours use the flat river paths and back streets that cars avoid. The summer heat from July to September makes early starts essential in the cities and lowlands, while the mountains are cool. Winter turns Hokkaido and Nagano into ski country from December to March, with the powder that Niseko and Hakuba are known for.

The price covers guide, Walking tour and Carbon emissions offset credits. It does not cover Hotel pickup and drop-off, Food and drinks and Entrance fees to Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew, 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.

TripGuru Thailand sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with TripGuru Thailand before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Our guide Anyeanee was very knowledgeable and friendly. The Palace is absolutely stunning. Recommend taking a guided tour to learn about the history, culture and religions. Anyeanee didn’t rush us, and gave us multiple photo opportunities. Thoroughly enjoy this tour. Oh and dress lightly but modest majority of this tour is outside - back sweat is real!

Since it is low season I was the only one on the tour but that meant I got to have the guide Cherry all to myself! She was very warm and personable the whole time as well walked through the palace. I got to learn a lot about the royal family along with the connected history of various artifacts and buildings to other cultures in contact with Thailand. Overall I had a great time and highly recommend!

The guide, Sun, was really knowledgeable about the history. It was definitely worth having a guide to fully experience the grand palace.

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.
