Good private tour

Angela_S, Mar 2026
We had Phillip for our guide. He was very good taking us around all the main sights, very informative and took lots of photos for us to take home for wonderful memories.

Bangkok is beautiful and vibrant. Private Tour with luxury van/driver definitely the way to view top tourist sites.

David_C, Jan 2026
Great day with Phillip. Picked us up at hotel with luxury van/driver and showed us all over the Grand Palace, Wat Pho and Temple of Dawn. He was personable and knowledgeable (not to mention a lot of fun). Exploring the temple complexes would have been completely overwhelming without him and travel to the various sites would have been difficult without the van and driver. We were so exhausted that we decided to skip in person visits to Chinatown and the Flower Market, but as a bonus on the ride back to the hotel, we drove through both in air conditioned comfort in Bangkok’s predictably snarled traffic, enough to get a sense of those spots without enduring the intense midday sun and heat. Overall a 5 star experience and well worth the money. Would definitely recommend.

our tour guide and the...

Vani_K, Jan 2026
our tour guide and the driver were very nice and welcoming. she showed us around and explained to us everything. she took lots of pictures from her own phone and shared with us. she covered everything well even made time and took us to the golden buddha which was not included.

Amazing!

Sue_U, Nov 2025
Our tour guide Yuiladdawan and driver were amazing, we had a customized tour that checked off all our boxes. Full fun day, filled with lots of sights, history and insights! Highly recommend!

Jam packed historical day

Amy_B, Mar 2025
Our guide was a woman named “One” (her name is difficult for English speakers so she says to just call her “One”). She really worked hard the whole day to make sure we got to see everything and had many good pictures. At times, it was a little difficult to follow her English but she was so charming and worked so hard (and it’s to be somewhat expected when you are traveling). One provided us with a great deal of history and really hustled the whole time. The temples were amazing and she took us to a small place for lunch that was delicious. The flower market was interesting and our daughter was able to pour her own coconut pancakes at a street vendor. Chinatown was huge and interesting as well. It’s a jam packed long day. Wear good walking shoes, hydrate, sunscreen, sun hat and fan recommended. A good foot massage before bed tops the day off (not included in the tour).

Yui is an absolute jem! Book this tour!

Jenny_T, Feb 2025
Book this tour! I saw that Yui came highly recommended so I asked for her specificly. She made our day in Bangkok so special. She came with great recommendations, provided solid history of each place along with giving us our space. We went to the floating market and she ordered amazing food for us! Yui was flexible and we were lucky to have her with us. We did pay more for a van which was nice to get us back to our hotel. Thank you Yui!!

A Truly Memorable Day in Bangkok

Andrew_W, Feb 2025
Tommy met us at our hotel on time and had everything sorted for us. Despite our limited time and the busy-ness of the locations, he ensured we got to vist all of the sites we wanted to see and spend some decent time at each one. My Wife is not 100% mobile and it was (for us) a particularly hot day, but Tommy and the driver (Mr Egg believe it or not) looked after us, supplied us with plenty of water and made sure that my good lady did not overstretch herself. All in all a brilliant day out that will live long in the memory. Thank you Tommy & Mr Egg

Fantastic tour that moves at your pace!

DAVID_T, Nov 2024
Yui was fantastic. She was extremely knowledgeable and structured the tour around what we wanted. She took us to great local spots outside the tourist traps for some great shopping. We highly recommend this tour to give you a great insight into Bangkok culture.

We saw a lot of Bangkok...

Kenneth_C, Mar 2024
We saw a lot of Bangkok in a short amount of time and our tour guide (One) was very helpful throughout the day. She was very knowledgeable and covered many locations in a limited time window during a swelteringly hot and humid day.

“Whirlwind” Bangkok Tour

Charles_C, Feb 2024
Once our guide, Fern, fully understood our interests, in the time available, she provided a fantastic “whirlwind’ tour of most of the highlights of Bangkok! She was fun & energetic, while providing ‘bullet point’ information.

Bangkok highlights on a hot day

Charles_M, Feb 2024
We had a good tour of the highlights of Bangkok. Our driver and guide picked us up at our hotel. The guide spoke good English and was most informative and pleasant. We enjoyed the sites and learned much about them. We covered the most important sites in Bangkok, which is what we wanted for our brief visit. Traffic in Bangkok is a problem, prolonging the excursion. The driver did a good job of moving us to the various sites as efficiently as possible. It was a long and hard day in the heat, even for people from south Louisiana accustomed to hot weather. At the end, we were depleted. Highly recommended - just be prepared for a long day and stay hydrated.

Bad experience

Ivo_C, Jan 2024
English knowledge of the guide was unsufficient, Not undestandable. Behaviour of the guide at the beginning unacceptable: Not polite and very nervous. We have done a lot of tours in Asia, this was the worst. Would Not recommend the Tour.

Great experience

Nikos_N, Dec 2023
Fern was a great guide. She followed our restrictions and showed to us the most of Bangkok in our available time. Highly recommend!

Unqualified guide with minimal English

Boise_D, Dec 2023
Our tour guide Tip was nice and well meaning but completely unqualified to lead an English speaking tour. She barely could speak English, couldn’t understand us, spoke very softly and seemed to have very little knowledge. We would have been better using the audio tour. She didn’t have many good tips to organize a tour to minimize crowds either. Very disappointing. The vehicle at least was nice.

Very good guide

Maureen_M, Dec 2023
Very kind guide. English was very good not quite proficient but she was very accommodating to tailor to our wishes. Thank you!!

Fun Discovering Bangkok

Brent_D, Nov 2023
My guide Jeff (Supapong Singhanon) was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable about the city and was able to make adjustments in the program. That is a huge advantage when you book a private tour. We visited Wat Pho, Wat Arun and Jim Thompson House. We had a fantastic long tail boat ride and because Jeff was a friend of the driver I had a chance to drive the boat in a quiet part of the canal. Fantastic day, highly recommended. Special thanks to Jeff for showing me Bangkok!

Great guide and great tour

Susan_N, Nov 2023
Scott was a great guide who customized our tour to our interests and shared great background and historical facts. Had a wonderful time.

Bangkoks best sights

Callista_G, Nov 2023
We had a great day with our tour guide Fern! She was very knowledgeable and caring always making sure we were enjoying ourselves. We got to see many of the main temples, the grand place, China town and the flower market. We also took a long tail boat ride which was really fun. Highly recommend this tour!

Highly recommended. Don’t forget to bring water

Eric_G, Aug 2023
Game, our guide, and the driver were great. They were very flexible and accommodating to all of our requests. One thing for improvement would be to keep a cooler with cold water in the car like most tours in Thailand provide.

Private Tour of Bangkok

KEVIN_C, Jan 2023
Scott was an amazing guide. His knowledge of the history, culture, cuisine and geography was superb. He was also a lot of fun. We felt like we were good friends visiting him. Most highly recommended!

Perfect

Andry_N, Jan 2023
Tour was good, and the guide is very nice and can communicate very well and she can speak bahasa fluently

Definitely a must see adventure

Stephen_H, Nov 2022
What a day! We had reached out to see if we could modify our tour a little bit and it was confirmed that we could. Upon being picked up by the driver and our guide, it seemed that the modification was forgotten. Lucky Jam contacted the guide and off we went to our special request and it was so worth it! It was an amazing day, lots to see, lots to watch and the tour ran so smoothly that we were able to get to the flower market after all (sacrificed for time for special request). Guide was highly knowledgeable though Bangkok traffic kept throwing our driver off a bit on pick ups. All in, it was a great day had by all and I highly suggest this company.

Tempeltour

Birgitt_L, Oct 2023
Unser guide "one" war außerordentlich gut. Unvergessliche Tempeltour durch Bangkok mit viel traditionellem Hintergrund. Außerdem hat one immer und überall Fotos mit uns beiden gemacht, die sie uns dann geschickt hat. Sehr zu empfehlen.
