A great 3 hours with a cool local
"We were a large group of people and had a great tour with Sebastian, he was very accommodating and friendly, made sure we had everything and shared his knowledge with us along the way. We got to some local places that were very nice to see. Very very nice tour with a very very nice guy."

Great day out with Big!
"Our tour with Big was just fantastic. We learnt so much about Thai history, culture and food, and of course tasted some amazing dishes along the way. I would recommend a tour with Big to anyone as an introduction to Thailand and Bangkok!"
