Ana is a sweetheart! She enthusiastically took pictures for my family and me. We had so much fun. She is knowledgeable on the history and current events of the temple as they relate to the kingdom.

I had such a great experience with Anna! She was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and so much fun throughout the tour. She made the whole experience really enjoyable and went above and beyond to make sure I had a great time. She was also amazing at helping me pose and took so many beautiful photos of me, definitely a bonus when travelling! 😂📸 I came away with great memories and some of my favourite photos from the trip. Highly recommend Anna if you’re looking for a knowledgeable, fun, and genuinely lovely tour guide!

Anna was just amazing. I book a tour at 4:30pm. it was ideal because it was not that hot anymore. The costume options was varied, it was almost hard to choose because they are all nice. The attendants were very fast and they know what they are doing. My tour guide Anna was very efficient, friendly and very professional. She gave me tips even for my further journey in bangkok. Highly recommended.

I had a fantastic time with Anna. She was not only excellent as a guide but incredibly talented as a photographer and gave me modelling advices along the way. She was super supportive and endlessly patient with me, always offering to check the photos and have another take if I wish to. Thanks to her I have professional photos I am proud of and happily sharing on my social. What made this trip even more special that I got to learn more about Anna, Thai people and Thai culture. 🤗 I warmly recommend this tour and Anna to everyone who would like to have a unique and special Thai experience. 🙏❤️

Kinda misleading. I thought that the guide will also take our pictures, but they asked for 2000 baht add-on for a professional photography. Our guide Anna is kind and very helpful, and pictures turned out okay, so we are still happy.

This is the worst company to book this tour with! Please beware! They are money hungry and really don’t care about the experience you will have. My flight was delayed, no control of my own! There are others available that offer a better service and better quality.

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.
