What are people saying about Bangkok

Bangkok: Ayutthaya, Floating Market & Railway Market - Full Day

Angel_P, Jul 2026

Great full day tour for families!

My family of five had a wonderful full-day tour with our guide, Shirley. She was incredibly accommodating and shared fascinating stories about each site we visited. The ride was comfortable, and our driver met us at the entrance of every stop, so we didn’t have to walk far in the heat. The train market and floating market were such fun experiences for the whole family. The temples and historical sites in Ayutthaya were absolutely breathtaking and completely exceeded our expectations.

Fun Day at Floating Market

Prices included all transportation and a bottled water. Loved the tour guides, Victor and Mariyah. Great attention to detail such as getting WhatsApp contact (in case of emergency) and constantly checking up on us is the sort of above and beyond type of service that is really appreciated. They even put together a nice little video collage for everyone. It’s all in the details and I really appreciated Victor, Mariyah and their agency doing that.

Edward_C, Jun 2026

Couldn’t have gone better

Jack took great carr of the group. I was pleasantly impressed by how much knowledge he had about the history of the sites and how much he liked to share his knowledge. We stopped at a local restaurant for lunch where the food and drinks were delicious and at a great price. Tuesday in low season was the day to do it as there were no crowds. I just recommend preparing for the heat and sun.

Excellent!

Excellent! Our guide Choochai helped us navigate Bangkok via BT Sky Train, city bus, long tail boat, TukTuk, and another boat. All the while he provided detailed information regarding the sights, history, and royalty of Thailand. He was friendly and passionate (and ever so patient) we were a party of 6 and all agree that this guided tour was invaluable! Thanks!

Ayutthaya UNESCO Temples Small Group : Full Day Tour From Bangkok

Grant_P, Jun 2026

My Trip.

I thought it was very well organized there wasn't any hanging about and our guide Meaw was knowledgeable, funny and approachable taking us on a journey through all the temples we visited. The optional stop for lunch was good the restaurant having river views and the food being excellent.

Bridge on the River Kwai and Thailand-Burma Railway Guided Tour

Grant_P, Jun 2026

My Trip Experience.

I had an amazing experience on this trip and it exceeded my expectations. Mr. Oom our guide is quite a character and made the long day enjoyable. Because this is a long day with the drive there and back. Once there the visit to the small museum and then the real attraction begins with the long boat to the bridge then watching the train cross then you can cross at your leisure. Then a short drive to the station for a 75min train journey through picturesque country side. You should be aware that as the windows are open to see everything fumes and dust do enter the coaches but it's a small price to pay for the experience. After the train ride we went for the buffet lunch at a restaurant with beautiful views over the valley and the food wasn't bad either. Overall I would say this trip is worth the cost and the time.

Morayma_T, Jun 2026

Tour Guide Made This Tour the Best

This was a great tour. But what made it even better was Sam and the driver Kai. Sam was extremely informative and through in his explanation of the history of each site we visited. He offered insight, explanations and the background of each historical location. His love for his country shined thru. Definitely ask for him on your tour and definitely take this tour. It will not disappoint.

Old Siam Bangkok Food Tour with 15+ Tastings

Emilie_L, Jun 2026

The perfect food guide of Bangkok

Fantastic tour where we got to taste authentic thai food from local vendors. We were taken to food markets where we normally would not have visited as we would not have known beforehand where to go and what to order. The tour had a great variety in meats as we got to taste dishes containing chicken, beef, duck, pork or seafood as well as some vegetarian dishes. We also got to taste different desserts. We were also served with water and soda as needed and even got some cold napkins to help with the heat. If you are worried about spices there were no problem getting low to non spicy dishes at every stop! The icing on the cake was the tour guides. They were generous, had a lot of knowledge and took really good care of our group. They shared a lot of information about their traditions, the dishes with ingredients and how they are made and they informed us about some of the history of the country. They took the time to talk to the couples individually and tailored the tour to us in a way that made the tour memorable and special for us! This was a truly memorable and informative tour and we would recommend anyone visiting Thailand for the first time to book this tour. Even experienced travelers who might not have explored the Thai cuisine may enjoy this tour.

Living Green Elephant Sanctuary Tour from Bangkok and Pattaya

Lindsay_C, Jun 2026

Living Green

This was the experience of a lifetime! Beautiful area, amazing food, entertaining staff. The only thing I would improve is the driver. He didn’t say anything so we were unsure how long the ride was, when the drop offs were etc. The Living Green Sanctuary taught us all about the elephants and how they got to be there. The staff was awesome, and lunch was delicious!

Erawan Waterfalls and Bridge Over River Kwai Tour from Bangkok

Jeff_Y, May 2026

And adventure during my adventure

This was an amazing trip with plenty of time to hike to stage 7.Note that it is a pretty steep hike in several locations,but we'll worth the effort. I would have liked to have had more time at the Kwai River bridge,but that would be my only negative.This trip is well worth taking and Bond was a fun and entertaining guide and made the experience enjoyable.

Bangkok City Highlights Tour: Grand Palace & Three Iconic Temples

Kimala_G, May 2026

This is such an easy fun...

This is such an easy fun way to see three major sights in less than 4 hours. Mr. Panu was friendly, funny and very informative! He took care of me in the heat with water, an umbrella and a battery operated handheld fan. As a solo traveler, I appreciated that Mr. Panu took a lot of pictures of me in every location and suggested fun poses. Half way through the tour, we rode a short distance in a tuk tuk! I really enjoyed that part as it felt safe and fun. For the hotel pickup/drop off and the longer ride between sights, we had the same driver who was prompt! The air conditioning in his vehicle was such a treat.
