Excellent Bangkok Tour

Philippe_L, Feb 2026

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!

Sammy was a wonderful...

Jennifer_F, Dec 2025

Sammy was a wonderful guide. Excellent knowledge and very willing to share. He tailored the sightseeing and we covered the highlights in a short amount of time but it did not feel rushed. Definitely recommend.

We loved our guide! And we learned so much!

Amber_U, Nov 2025

Our guide, Artty, was fabulous!!! First off, he’s a fabulous photographer. Second, we were running 30 mins late and once we got there he promised he would make sure we would see everything, and not to worry. He stayed a half hour over to accommodate for our tardiness since he didn’t have anything booked for a couple hours. He was knowledgeable, spoke good English, funny, a good story teller and seemed to really enjoy his job:) I went with a group of 6 and we all loved him. Would recommend!

What an amazing tour! Andy, the tour guide was knowledgeable, fun to be around and took care of me when I started to feel overheated. His familiarity of the city and its history was astounding and I’m so glad that I took this tour!

Private tour in Bangkok

EdnaRuth_V, Dec 2024

The best way to understand another culture is doing this kind of tour. Feeding the turtles was amazing

Great day exploring Bangkok!

Sumedha_P, Nov 2024

Tuangtip was a fantastic guide who made our day in Bangkok truly special! She took us to Wat Arun, the flower market, and several other incredible spots, ensuring we experienced both the beauty and charm of the city. Her warmth and attention to detail made the tour seamless and enjoyable. Tuangtip also helped us explore hidden gems we would have never found on our own. Highly recommend her for an unforgettable Bangkok experience!

Great Bangkok Tour

Jonathan_G, Apr 2024

Great tour guide, saw many beautiful sights and even found great fruit, salak. We went to temples both touristy and empty, and great markets.

Excellent tour of Bangkok's hidden gems

Scott_M, Nov 2023

With only one day in Bangkok, we needed to find a tour that help us understand the capital city and Thai culture a little bit better. Akarin, our tour guide was the perfect fit. With him, we walked around Chinatown, Little India, the flower market and Wat Arun. Through his stories and anecdotes, we learned about Thailand, its cultural links to China and India, and the importance of Buddhism in Thai culture. We had a great immersive tour and a formidable introduction to Bangkok. Thank you, Akarin!

Temples and Flowers and hot weather

William_T, Nov 2023

The flower market was fantastic and so unexpected! And the temple decorated with broken China was spectacular. It was a holiday and many people were dressed in historical dress making it even nicer.

A great introduction to locals

David_D, Oct 2023

This was a great easy walking tour. We went through the local flower Ang general markets. A great way to see a little bit of local life. Our guide Tuangtip (Tai) was very knowledgeable and exposed us to several local foods. This was an amazing 3 hour experience.

Hidden Gems of Bangkok

Elizabeth_H, Apr 2023

Our tour was amazing. We did see all the hidden gems like the markets the locals attend. It was very hot and the tour was all walking no bus. The walking did save alot of time because everything was close to each other but it was very hot. Our guide Tony was amazing. He spoke almost perfect English and was so kind. It could have been a little shorter and we could have gone without some of the history but that is a personal choice. Definitely couldn't have gotten the full experience without a guide.

Great experience with a local!

Beatriz_A, Jun 2022

Seeing the flower market from inside was very interesting and learning how to open a lotus flower to present it at the temple was amazing! The explanation of our guide (Tonn) about every place was also very good and made the whole experience very interesting and fun.

I felt like a local :)

gfr5ngnngs, Mar 2022

I had a very great time with Moddy. I felt like a local with her. She answered all my questions in a very good english and told me a lot of interesting information. I learned a lot about Thai culture. Next time I'll book another tour with her again! Thank you so much Moddy!

Sensationell 🥰

evelyn, Feb 2020

Wir hatten eine sensationelle private Führung mit Kwang. So informativ und interessant. Immer wieder würde ich mich dafür entscheiden man kann seine eigene Wünsche einbringen und unser Guide zeigte uns auch vieles, wo mehr Thailänder als Touristen waren. Danke Kwang
