Great tour - Nicky was flexible, and entertaining. I just took the palace tour and paid an extra 300B to see the massive Budda

Oh, bad. It would be better if we were alone, we would not have thrown out money. - We had a guide that we abandoned during the tour. We were five people, being four older people and a young boy. She simply became his individual guide. It moved quickly, did not present us with all the points and at a certain point disappeared. We continued the walk and when we were already on the outside she appeared, offered to enter again. It was terrible, we left to go on the penultimate day, we trusted the agency. And we'll go home without knowing the most beautiful temple. Lamentável!

Interesting tour with fun guide - It was good to have a guide leading you to through the amazing maze of temples and structures. Also the info given was interesting and not too long. I would recommend this tour!

Lively tour of the royal palace. Jan 2025 - Our tour guild was Sunday, he was knowledgable of the site and its rich history and he is very friendly. He and the tour company were excellent. A++ Our only dislike was that the royal palace tour did not cover the entire grounds. Much of it is still under renovation or is not open to tourists.

Opt for the shorter tour - We were taken to a lot of temples during our tour. Everything started to look the same after the first 3 hours. Even though we were there on a weekday, it was crowded. You need to take your shoes off several times throughout the day, so wear shoes that slip on and off. I wish we had picked one of the shorter tours. An all day tour was too long.

Good - Guide was very helpful and welcoming but the tour did not include lots more information than if we’d done it ourselves.

Very disappointing. - Very disappointing. The tour guide rushed through the visit. It was more like a person who gave a few directions, a couple of info and that is it. We regret taking the tour guide. We would have hoped for more info about the buildings and the palace, more explanations.
