Nicki’s Grand Palace tour exceptional. - The Grand Palace including Emerald Palace tour was exceptional. History and beauty outstanding. Our guide Nicki went above and beyond. Nicki is brilliant. Don’t miss the opportunity of a tour with Nicki. We were held up due to very busy Bangkok traffic meaning we were running late. Nicki went out of her way to liaise us being able to do the tour even arranging alternative clothing so my wife complied with the no naked knees in the palace and temple rules. Nicki had exceptional knowledge with great passion. Thanks Nicki this tour was a highlight of our trip. Chris & Ros Devlin Australia

Amazing - Amazing Paula although a bit hard to find was amazing once we found her. She was very knowledgeable and funny as well which are the trip enjoyable She got us a cold bottle of water before we started and didn't even ask for any tips at the end. Because of that we tipped her handsomely

Palace is cool! - Nikki was great. Really appreciated her knowledge. Far too many people in the palace though. And the scams outside the palace are awful. Be careful.
