We were a family of 4 with 2 teenagers. Pick up from our hotel was on time in a comfortable minivan with AC. Taken to the boat dock where we met up with another family of 4 and our guide Pui.
Pui was very friendly and knowledgeable and did a great job of looking after both families throughout the tour.
Make sure that you take water with you, although you will get chances to buy bottles during the tour, as none are provided.
We boarded a long tail boat for the tour of the river and Khlongs canals. This was great fun racing along the river on these traditional Thai boats. If it had been raining you would have needed a waterproof jacket of some kind. After the canals, we docked at the Temple of Dawn. This was one of our favourite of all the ones we saw. Because it was still early we were able to walk around leisurely without the crowds.
Then we took the boat on to the Grand Palace. In contrast the Grand Palace was very hectic and crowded, not really suitable for younger children I would say. Thankfully Pui negotiated her way around sorting out our entry tickets for us etc. She then provided us with a very informative tour of the Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha ( where she watched our shoes whilst we went inside!). With regards to clothes you must ensure that shoulders and knees are covered & no jeans with holes in to enter these places.
We were all pretty hot and tired by the end, so were glad we had arranged for the transport back to our hotel.
We particularly enjoyed the first part of the trip on the boat, and found having a guide around the Palace and temple was vital. Pui was excellent throughout and made it all the more enjoyable.

Dear c11ffc,
Thank you very much for your kind words of Pui and also for the tour. I am sure that those considering booking this tour appreciate your words of advice!
Very happy to see that you enjoyed your morning tour and realised that, although these things can be done without a tour guide, there are great advantages to having a knowledgeable local (Pui) by your side!
Kind regards,
Christopher
