Lovely morning on the Thonburi Canal

BrianL, Jan 2025

Nuch was a great guide and we enjoyed her friendly knowledgeable style. We visited 3 locations with canal rides in between. Markets and small street food places were all excellent. A private tour is the way to go! We got everything that was expected and more! Thanks for a great morning.

Best food tour experience - Nush

Laura_M, May 2024

We had an incredible experience on the Thailand food tour! Our guide Nush was punctual, friendly, and passionate about sharing the local culture and cuisine. She took us on a culinary journey through hidden gems - local markets, authentic restaurants, and even train stations! - to sample a diverse range of delicious Thai dishes. What impressed us most was her genuine enthusiasm and knowledge, providing insightful commentary on the history and significance of each dish. We never felt pressured to buy souvenirs or tip excessively, which made the experience feel truly authentic. The boat ride to see the stunning Big Buddha and navigate between locations was an added bonus! Our guide's kindness, cordiality, and expertise made this tour truly unforgettable. Highly recommended!

Response from Host, May 2024
