Per one customer who booked the Bangkok Private Highlights Tour with Local Guide, "We had a great day with Gwen as our guide. We wouldn't have covered so much, or learnt so much without her. She was easy company and so knowledgeable about Bangkok history and everything we saw. We visited the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, Wat Arun, had a longtail boat trip on the canals and visited the flower market. Gwen helped us navigate the various trains and boats which took us from one place to another and has given us some tips for the rest of our time in Bangkok. Highly recommended!"
