What are people saying about Bangkok

Shaun_W, Apr 2026

Beautiful Waterfalls

Very well organised and presented by Tank. I felt the time allocated at each stop was enough for what it was: 25mins at the JEATH war museum 50mins at the Kwai bridge (timed to coninside with a passing train) 4hrs at the waterfalls. Nice air conditioned mini bus and water provided for the return journey. Left to own devices at locations, you don't have to hang out with the guide or the other punters. There is a suggersted restaurant at an extra cost for dinner which I opted out of. Note for waterfalls - take some slip on shoes/flip flops, as you'll be walking between waterfalls & dipping in & out of the pools. You'll be swimming with fishes, big and small, expect your feet & ankles to be nibbled. Be careful in the waterfalls as the rocks are very slippery - you could easily fall & sprain a wrist. There are lockers available at the start of the trail, but if you don't have one, any valueables will be left at the side of the waterfall whilst you swim - there are lots of creepy crawlies which could get into your bag.

From Bangkok: Ayutthaya Temples Small Group Tour with Lunch

Steve_M, Apr 2026

I recommend this activity...

I recommend this activity for the following reason: Hotel pick-up highly recommended, and although there's an end drop point, drive and guide go above and beyond by dropping at near to your hotel as possible. Though, return is in Bangkok's intense traffic, I recommend dropping yourself at the nearest MRT or BTS station. Then, each stop is allowed more than enough time to explore with freedom. If you desire more information about what you see, let the guide know, and he will provide you the history. Enjoy

Nikki! Amazing Tour Guide

Hey! Just wanted to share how awesome Nikki was as our tour guide. She’s really knowledgeable and speaks English so well, even with her Thai accent, we could understand her perfectly. She’s super helpful and genuinely cares about her clients, checking in on us regularly. Plus, she’s an amazing photographer who captured all the best angles of us at the key spots in Bangkok. Definitely giving Nikki a five-star rating!

Amazing temples with great tour guide

The historic temples at Ayutthaya are wonderful to see. The boat trip included in the tour was enjoyable and offered a different view of the former capital. We had a great tour guide in Mr Bakery who looked after us all day and us to a great local restaurant for lunch. It was a very enjoyable day trip.

Highlights & Hidden Gems With Locals: Best of Bangkok Private Tour

Philippe_L, Feb 2026

Excellent Bangkok Tour

Nok gave us a wonderful tour of Bangkok highlights including the 24 hour flower market, the Temple of Dawn, a tuk tuk and riverboat ride and more. She brought so much to us by sharing the city’s history as well as insights of Thai culture. I highly recommend this tour!

Bangkok: Grand Palace, Temples & River of Kings Canal Cruise

Stacy_F, Jan 2026

Temples AND a canal cruise - best of both worlds!

Fabulous tour! This allowed us to see two very different sides of Bangkok, from the opulence of the Grand Palace and Wat Pho, to the homes and businesses along the canals. The canal cruise let us enjoy a traditional longboat, and we got to see giant monitor lizards sunning themselves on stones and piers. The Grand Palace Was absolutely stunning, with its intricate stone work, statues, and Emerald Buddha. Wat Pho, Thailand's first university and home of the massive reclining Buddha, was truly a sight to behold. PK was a great guide. Thank you!

Half-Day Bangkok Bike Tour Including Lunch

Karen_T, Jan 2026

A must do ride!

This trip is the answer if you want to experience something different to the life outside the frenetic city of Bangkok. Locally run business by Arnie to provide a fun tour suitable for young & old to see the cultural contrast to the typical tourist hot spots by bike. By taking you off grid with a guide on a bike you will see so much more of the city & have fun on the way! Don't be put off by having to make your own way to the starting point. Recommend you to grab a grab!

Historical City of Ayutthaya - Unesco Full Day Tour From Bangkok

Fabian_C, Dec 2025

Great experience with an amazing tour guide.

Full-day tour of Thailand's history, visiting the ruins of Ayutthaya. The history itself is fascinating, but our guide made this tour a fantastic experience. Pat, our tour guide, is kind and loves teaching about Thailand's history. He helped answer all our different questions and was patient when we took additional time to take photos. He actually recommended the best spots for photo shoots during the tour and even participated in some of our photos by taking them when required (we also took photos with him). Very pleasant experience

Bangkok Food Tour of Bang Rak with Local Guide

Jake_G, Dec 2025

This tour was just myself...

This tour was just myself and my guide, Sally. She did a great job! I let her know that I had been on a different food tour earlier in the week and she made sure that I got to try different things from that one. The map with basic phrases was helpful to keep track of where we went so I can come back later. Highly recommended!

Experience Real Bangkok by Bike

Mackenzie_H, May 2025

My wife and I were...

My wife and I were impressed with the organization of the tour and the route that we took. We were only on busy main streets for 5-10% of the tour while the rest of the time we were on side streets in quiet neighborhoods of Bangkok! It was hard to believe we were in Bangkok at times because of how peaceful parts of the ride were. It was a hot day, but we were provided water and enough breaks throughout our time. The snack break came at the perfect time! I think it would be nice if they were able to include a bit of time for a stop at a coffee shop or souvenir shop at some of the cute stores we passed during the bike ride.
