Awesome and informational - B was super friendly and knowledgeable about Thailands history. We really enjoy the whole time we were with him. We learned so much about the Royal Family. We learned a lot about Buddisim here in Thailand, it was amazing the depth of knowledge and the teaching and structure of how Buddism fits into the everyday lives of Thai people.

We were just my wife and... - We were just my wife and I on this trip. Unfortunately, my wife got bad from the heat when we arrived, so we asked to be driven back to the hotel. Our guide was some of the sweetest and helpful one can imagine, so even though we did not get so much out of the trip itself, we will still give our best recommendations.

Summer Palace and Temples - We visited Petchaburi's Historic Palaces and Ancient Temples. This was an amazing tour and we had the good fortune to have Bobby “B” as our tour guide. This was our second time having B as our tour guide. He was again friendly and accommodating imparting great knowledge and taking many photos. The SUMMER PALACE and KHAO LUANG CAVE are can’t miss. We highly recommend this tour.

A wonderfully fascinating... - A wonderfully fascinating tour, with an informative and friendly guide and a polite and safe driver. We particularly liked the fact it was a private tour so we were able to go at our own pace and had plenty of time to ask our guide, Naree, lots of questions about the particular areas of interest to us. Highly recommended! 😊

Great sightseeing - The itinerary is good, the palace in particular is spectacular! There are many steps, some narrow and steep but as an unfit 60 something I made it! Have given 3 stars as we weren’t given much information during the day on where we were going and when. Prompt and early pick up by a friendly driver who did not speak English so we had to guess (rightly) we were on the right trip and we’d see our guide at some point. Our guide was pleasant and took us to the ‘sights’ but did not have much to say en route other than chatting to the driver. We would have appreciated a nod to what the story was. Very accommodating about when we wanted to lunch, but the restaurant suggested by the guide was no longer there so a bit of a lottery to find a substitute. I’d hoped he’d have checked that out! We did have a nice lunch in a small side/street but struggled with the menu as it was in Thai and our guide could have been a little more helpful about that, but I guess he was also a bit on the back foot! All in all I think it seemed less than expected as on an earlier tour to Maeklong our Ken Diamond driver:guide was exceptional and pointed out so much about the countryside, Thai life and the sights ( so big shout out to him and ask for him if you can - his name was ‘B’!) The sights on this 6 hour day (about an hour’s drive from Hua Hin) are great so don't let this put you off unduly! Driver very skilled moving the car in and out of some tight places, so thanks to him - and the guide - but if we had been new to ‘trips’ and the Thai genuine attitude might have been a bit disconcerting! Also make sure you take water as we were not offered any - but plenty of options to buy at various points, so that’s a small niggle.
