Great experience! Well paced and very informative. Saw many sights the average tourist does not see. Fabulous English speaking tour guide who was well versed and knowledgeable. Boat ride was the highlight and seeing the real Bangkok.
Fantastic tour. You will see parts of Bangkok and local markets that tourists generally will not see. Our guide was excellent and she went out of her way to educate us about what we were seeing from the water and the history of Thailand. Well worth the money!
Very interesting guide, we learned a lot about history and monuments ! the private boat ride is a plus !
Our experience was so fun and informative! Guitar was knowledgeable, fun spirited and took so many photos for us. He was helpful and provided lots of advice. 10/10 experience
The canals in Bangkok have a lock system that you have to navigate to enter the canals. Once inside you will see water monitors and the second largest Big Buddha in Thailand. Wat Arun is a must see. The four hour trip was perfect to see something and still have the rest of the day to do other things. Our guide was fantastic and took us to a great restaurant that was not part of the tour.
We had a wonderful time on this tour. Our guide Toon made the experience so pleasurable and educated us on the history and beliefs of Thailand.
