    Awful

    Badly organised and not as expected from the description. Had to use public transport and not a professional guide

    Great temple tour in Bangkok

    We had a wonderful day with Koi touring the major temples of Bangkok. She was so knowledgeable and made for a very pleasant and interesting day. The temples are beautiful, and lunch at a local restaurant was delicious. We highly recommend this tour.

    Beautiful Temples and Buddhas around Bangkok

    Our tour guide, Nok, was very friendly and accommodating. She met us before time at our hotel (Royal Orchid Sheraton on the river), and it was only my wife and I on the tour. Since it was a Sunday, the boat company would start only at 10 am. So, Nok took us on a tuktuk to the Grand Palace first. There we first enjoyed the Emerald Buddha, and then walked around the Grand Palace complex, where Nok explained the various sights and attractions. We walked a short distance to see the giant Sleeping Buddha. Then we took a ferry to cross the Chaopraya River to visit Wat Arun. The views from the top were lovely. We rode the ferry back and then took a tuktuk to the Marble Temple to see another Buddha, and enjoyed its courtyard. Finally, the tuktuk drove us through the main avenues of the city and dropped us back at our hotel. Overall, it was a great experience, many thanks to our tour guide, Nok. Thanks!

    Totally worth it

    The tour was very well organized. The guide picked us from our hotel and then we begin the tour. All entrance tickets and transportation costs to visit all places were paid by the guide. He got in queue to get tickets to each place. Peter was very knowledgeable and thorough with the history and interesting stories about each place. He explained everything properly. He was very caring and considerate, was patient the whole time in this tour and never rushed it even for a minute. I highly recommend this package to all tourists visiting Bangkok for first time as this will allow you to see most famous attractions nicely. If you plan to go to same places on your own without guide, you'll never be able to see it that good as I saw on my tour people without guide were just lost and didn't know exactly what needs to be done or where to go next. But with our guide, we always had directions and stories. This truly made it an amazing experience. Guide is definitely recommended. Booking this tour is worth it. I would like to thank Viator for putting a good tour together and big thanks to our Guide Peter who made the experience memorable. Thank you :)

    Grand Palace & Temples of Bangkok: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bangkok.

    How much does Grand Palace & Temples of Bangkok cost?

    +

    Prices start at $3000 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bangkok usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Grand Palace & Temples of Bangkok take?

    +

    Plan for about 7.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bangkok is not rushed.

    Is Grand Palace & Temples of Bangkok worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bangkok, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Grand Palace & Temples of Bangkok?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Grand Palace & Temples of Bangkok suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Grand Palace & Temples of Bangkok?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bangkok can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bangkok and add a light layer if any part of the 7.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Grand Palace & Temples of Bangkok start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bangkok within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Bangkok?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Bangkok experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Bangkok Backstreets Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, Old Siam Bangkok Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, Tingly Thai Cooking Class with Morning Market Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Bangkok?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Bangkok?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
