The benefit is that the tour company will pick up and drop off at the hotel.
I second that recommendation from Braindrain for World Travel Service tours.

I've been on two of their tours in Bangkok.
Pickup right on time.
Clean, comfortable, vans.
Well organized transfer "hub" at their main office (with clean toilets).
Very good guide.

Door-to-door is a major factor in the traffic chaos of Bangkok.

WTS is more expensive than average.
But for quality and dependability, they are my choice and my recommendation to visiting friends.

Here's their web site: http://www.wts-thailand.com/

Note: Most tours from most tour companies stop at gem stores or other tourist shopping.
That did not happen on either of my tours with WTS, but WTS brochures explain that a few of their tours make a shopping stop at the end.
