"Excursion was better than we could have hoped for. Our guide, Rabbit, was very informative and made the day that much more enjoyable. He was very kind to us, helped us out and became a friend. Also, our driver was amazing at navigating the Bangkok traffic. Appreciated the great communication from Oriental Escape.

Susan - Thailand - 2025-07-01
"This was my parents’ first trip to Thailand, even though I’ve visited several times before.
We had dreamed of seeing the Grand Palace and Wat Pho, and it was even more beautiful than we imagined.
I booked the private tour so my elderly parents could enjoy everything at a comfortable pace. The guide was calm, patient, and never rushed us.
The van was brand new, spacious, and equipped with umbrellas and a wheelchair (which we used for free!).
Booking this kind of private service made everything so much easier for my parents — they felt relaxed the whole time.
Thank you to our lovely guide and kind driver for making this such a memorable day!"Grand Palace & Emerald Buddha Temple + Wat Pho + Wat Arun [Private Tour]

Hi,
I am requiring half day tour to the popular historical places preferably the Grand Palace & Emerald Buddha Temple + Thonburi Canal. We will be having our 70+ years old mother and she is not able to take too much stairs and need to sit down and take a rest as she is not able to walk too long. Do you recommend this tour to our elderly mother? if not, please recommend the suitable one for her and the price / person, for 4 people.
Thank you.? Amy - 7 years ago

In the area of the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew is a flat road, but if you need to go inside to worship to the Emerald Buddha in the church. There will be climbing stairs, but not much.
