"Maybe add some material with a map of thailand, with the different kingdom locations and there years. It would have helped us understand the explanations better." 08:00-16:00 hrs (08 hrs) : English-Speaking Guide Service [Guide Fee]

"It was a difficult trip due to the weather. The guide was nice and helpful but the trip was for a person who is very knowledgable in WW2 history so I think he would have liked more in-depth explanation. But again, i did not specify it during the booking." 08:00-16:00 hrs (08 hrs) : English-Speaking Guide Service [Guide Fee]

"Oriental escapes was an excellent company to deal with, from my initial contact enquiry about custom day trips,to the service provided by our tour guide Eki and driver .
We requested a big tour program to visit the sites all around Bangkok and our day out certainly ticked all the boxes!
Excellent communication and customer service, punctual pick up, clean modern vehicle with air conditioning, water provided and a very knowledgeable guide who made sure we were comfortable all day.
I would thoroughly recommend using Oriental Escapes as your tour and transfer company for your visit to Bangkok. " 06:30-17:30 hrs (11 hrs) : English-speaking Guide Service [Guide Fee]

"The car was excellent and we found the driver/location well with the photo provided.
I would like to complain about the size of the vehicle though. We were 5 passengers and the driver only had space for 4 seats once he loaded the luggage in. I hadn’t realised until the luggage was loaded that this left my son without a seat and he spent the entire trip in to the city squeezed on the vehicle floor without a seatbelt.
This could have been avoided if the car had been larger or if the driver had loaded luggage better. Unfortunately the location on the road outside airport seemed to make this processed too rushed to accommodate our group comfortably and safely. " English-speaking Guide Service [Guide Fee]
