Grand Palace and Bangkok temples - The tour guide related his name to "Taxi", he was so good and very considerate to how our small the group of 6 would manage the heat on the 4hr tour starting at 1 pm in 37C heat. He explained where to walk and where not to, he also gave us detailed explanations of each temple, the history and religious backgrounds"before" we went into those areas. This way we were able to marvel at the beauty of them and he gave us little top-up stories/facts and picture tips as we went along. This way he didn't have to shout above the other tour guides during our viewing pleasures but he still kept us engaged whilst we were taking it all in with pictures. He kept giving us cooling breaks in shade, breezy areas or where there were fans or AC. Overall, his tour guiding skills were exceptional and we would 100% recommend him and his tour company for anybody looking to do this tour. Tips: wear loose clothing that will cover you, that way you respect the temples and the heat! Hat or umbrella recommended. Travel light as carrying a bag causes extra heat and sweating where it touches you. After this 4 hrs tour you'll feel "templed-out" - phrase quoted by another member of our group:-)

Great! - Great event with Elena. She made visiting the temples and palace a very interesting and absorbing experience. She was very knowledgable about everything and very good at keeping the group moving through the sites, including arranging tuktuk rides for the group. I would highly recommend this as a means of seeing the temples and palace, rather than trying to get through them alone

Great short tour of the temples - Had a really great tour seeing the palace, Wat Arun and Wat Pho. I decided to go for the 10am tour but I would recommend going sooner or possibly later as it was really busy and hot. Our guide Peach was really friendly, funny and informative and made sure we looked after.
