My guide Ton made my tour absoultly amazing. He went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect. His insight and conversation was top notch. The tour was great as it was Thai authentic. I would highly recommend this tour.

i loved the experience and pam was a great tour guide
Pam is wonderful. Her enthusiasm is infectious and she took us on lots of unexpected turns, which was fun.
Pam is so good. Pam is so good. Pam is so good. I love pam
Fantastic tour! Art, the guide was friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. This tour takes visitors away from the crows so that you can experience everyday life in Bangkok. I spent 4 days in the city, and this tour was by far the best day. This tour is especially good for people unfamiliar with Thai cuisine, as Art picks out a great sampling of all sorts of delicious treats to try out. I really wish I started my stay in Bangkok with this trip. It would have really set a positive tone for other exploration.
I felt very taken care of and I saw lots of things. PK was my guide and made sure to give lots of info. The boat ferry would have been very unnerving if I had done it myself.
Definitely worth trying! I had a wonderful experience with our guide, Pakkare. If your schedule allows, I highly recommend joining this half-day tour after visiting the temples.
We went of this tour on a Sunday with our guide PK, what a wonderful experience, the tuk tuk was clean and tidy, the trip was informative and went to parts of the city we wouldn't have otherwise visited. PK was the best part of the tour, she spoke good English and answered all of our questions(of which there were many) she showed us the local foods and explained how they were made and where they came from. We had an issue with our card and had trouble at the MRT, she sorted it all with the staff and got us the token we needed to get back to the hotel. %100 recommended, we have been in Thailand for 6 weeks but this trip would also suit those who are fresh off the plane and are new to the city
