She was informative, her English was very good, and incorporated some humor into the tour. If you can’t find the sign like mentioned in the meeting instructions (we didn’t see one) just be sure to be in the grounds inside Wat Chiang Man, Jane WhatsApp-ed us to help locate which we appreciated!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 120 reviews · from $93

Review of Beijing’s 7-hour tour of Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, and Temple of Heaven, with guide, lunch, transport, costs, and shopping stops.

“Overpriced for what it is... Got rushed through the sites with barely any explanation on their history or architecture. The guide barely spoke English so it was difficult to communicate at all. Half of the time was basically spent at the silk factory or pearl shop where they try really hard to make you spend more money nice try, but I'm broke after paying for this tour lol. Tour was supposed to be 7 hours but I was brought back after barely 4? What? The food was ok at least. But nothing special. I don't recommend... There's cheaper tours out there with better guides...”

Bangkok Heritage Highlights: Grand Palace & Three Temples Tour

14.Bangkok Heritage Highlights: Grand Palace & Three Temples Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 52 reviews · from $133

Review of Bangkok’s Grand Palace and temple tour, with Wat Pho, Wat Arun, guide tips, transport, dress rules, price, and booking advice.

“Overall, it was a good experience and having a guide helped move efficiently from one location to another. But I think the waiting time should be clearly communicated to all the travelers so we are not waiting too long for other travelers who are running late. Also, the strict dress code for the Grand Palace should be distinguished from the other temples where a scarf to cover up the shoulders is allowed”
