Full description
This is a 8-hour experience in Bangkok, built around Public transport, Wat Phra Kaew and Wat Pho. It is run by Bigcountry Experience Co.,Ltd., 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 Drinking water, Guide, Tuk-Tuk from Grand Palace to Wat Pho, 2-hour boat trip on the Chao Phraya River and Boat ticket from River City Bangkok to the Grand Palace. It does not cover Personal expenses, Gratuities, Grand Palace admission ticket: 500 Thai baht per person and Wat Pho admission ticket: 300 Thai baht per 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.
Bigcountry Experience Co.,Ltd. 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 Bigcountry Experience Co.,Ltd. before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Traveler Reviews
The whole day ran really well and was enjoyable. Fast paced at times, and the canal boat tour at the end of the day was a great way to finish.
Our guide was fabulous. She went the extra mile in many ways. Very knowledgeable and looked after all her guests perfectly.
A lot of sightseeing was packed into the time we had. Enjoyed the trip on the whole but was very tiring.
It was great, the guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We could see that he loves his country and loves to share it with us. I had a great day.
Mina was informative and entertaining. Fantastic day tour.
Perfectly balanced ratio price to number of attractions. The guide was professional, courteous, helpful and didn't save on sharing stories and information on places visited. Time required was very well estimated, the tour finished on time, which was particularly important to me. I liked very much the idea to have a lunch in a local restaurant, where you can eat like a local.
Everyone was very attentive, thoughtful and helpful towards me during the excursion. The program was heavy because of heat but worth. Meal was simple but good!
Excellent, tour. Our guide was lively, friendly and fun, and very knowledgeable about the History of Thailand, and the culture of Thailand. I can’t remember her name unfortunately, but she was awesome. Plenty of time at each site, a tasty home style Thai lunch, and a very enjoyable and informative and thought provoking 2 hr river cruise. A great way to get a good synopsis on the history and culture of Bangkok
Our guide Kiwi was amazing. Arrival was well organized. Loved the variety of transportation options and seeing the temples and grand plaza were amazing. We were lucky and got to see monitors on the river!
Great trip made special by our guide Mina who was both knowledgeable and highly entertaining
I had a great time, I was a solo traveller. I'd say stay for the whole excursion and opt in for lunch and then the boat ride after. Our host was great! thank you!
Went around for the day with Mina. She was wonderful. Gave plenty of information, answered questions, gave time to take pictures, and helped with directions on how to get home when we were finished. The place for lunch she took us was delicious as well.
