Gent was a fantastic guide and not only gave us wonderful insights about everything we saw but was also lots of fun! We loved the main sights but also really appreciated the off the beaten path locations! The lunch destination in particular was charming with very good food. It was extremely hot when we did the tour but Zheng adapted some things to help with the heat and made changes when we needed too.

Hello Gang our guide was great. We loved this visit and Gang's kindness and patience. Our best moment: the boat has long sweat and dinner: superb place.
Chère 503noelj, Merci beaucoup pour votre merveilleux commentaire ! Nous sommes ravis d'apprendre que vous avez passé une excellente journée avec Gang et que vous avez apprécié votre visite. Nous sommes particulièrement heureux que vous ayez aimé la balade en bateau à longue queue et le dîner dans ce superbe endroit. Ce sont des expériences uniques qui permettent de découvrir Bangkok sous un autre angle. Nous transmettrons vos compliments à Gang, qui sera ravi de savoir que vous avez apprécié sa gentillesse, sa patience et ses connaissances. Merci encore d'avoir choisi notre agence et de partager votre expérience. Nous espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau à Bangkok lors d'un prochain voyage ! Cordialement,
Our guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable about Thai history. He tried to explain the significance of the temple and grand palace and how it all tied into the Thai wars, history and Buddhism. Sadly, his accent was difficult to understand and he spoke very fast. Additionally he talked continuously, never leaving time for my wife and I to talk between ourselves for a couple minutes. He was a VERY nice and knowledgeable tour guide, but for us, it was just too much information coming at us at a rate that was too quick in an accent, that was for us, difficult to understand, which led to a loss of the information trying to be conveyed.
Dear Chris_L Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on your recent tour with us. We appreciate you acknowledging our guide's pleasant demeanor and extensive knowledge of Thai history. We understand that the pace and accent may have presented a challenge, and we sincerely apologize for any difficulties this caused in your enjoyment of the tour. We will share your feedback with our guides to ensure they are mindful of pacing and clarity in their presentations. We strive to provide a fulfilling and enriching experience for all our guests, and we are always looking for ways to improve. We hope that despite these challenges, you were able to appreciate the beauty and historical significance of the Grand Palace and other sites visited. Warm Regards,
An unforgettable experience! An Exceptional Guide! It was a unique day. We visited well-kept secrets of Bangkok by sailing along the river on a long tail boat. This tour could not be more complete to visit the essentials of Bangkok and also the authentic Bangkok of farming communities. Mr Geng is generous in terms of service, attention and time. Respectful and always smiling. Thanks again...
Merci beaucoup pour votre retour élogieux ! Nous sommes ravis d'apprendre que vous avez passé une journée inoubliable en notre compagnie.
