Santa is a good tour guide. She had lots of information to share. The ride was comfortable to and fro.
The Grand Palace was chock full of tourist groups, so not a great experience. Even though I apparently failed the dress code (tight long pants), but there were females in crop tops, spaghetti strap tops, above knee dresses walking around. Maybe if we could have gone even earlier, the crowd would have been less. We were picked at 830am, and the opening is 830.
