      Exceptional

      "Coming from the tourism industry I was detailed about what we wanted to get out of this tour in a bespoke way. Tuangtip was exceptional, she went out of her way to suggest special things that made our trip memorable! We had a different guide a few days later for a river tour and wished we had asked her to do this also. She also did not ask for a review - she is truly excellent at her craft. "

      very personal private family tour

      "Tony was punctual at the agreed meeting point. He gave us an excellent family Tour through Bangkok, regarding all our wishes like seeing the flower Market. On the other side he showed us the current Hotspots and gave us a deep insight of the Thai culture, explaining background and showing famous temples. Any time again ;o). Maybe the agency should come back to the previous price structure. "

      Wonderful family tour!

      "Tuangtip was a wonderful tour guide! We arrived early and she was already there to meet us. Her English was fabulous and her knowledge about Bangkok and the temples was very helpful. She was great with our kids, ages 13 and 16, and even bought them a couple of treats that went above and beyond what was expected. We really enjoyed our tour with her and highly recommend it to anyone considering!"

      Amazing time in Bangkok

      "If you're booking a tour, do yourself a favor and ask for Artty. Seriously, he was awesome. We were dealing with a super humid day (for us puny Canadians ;) ), but he kept the energy up the whole time. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and just genuinely attentive. The absolute highlight for me was how amazing he was with it kid. He must have asked him about a thousand questions, and Artty patiently answered every single one of them without missing a beat. He didn't just give us the standard tourist script, he actually gave us a deep dive into Thai culture, local food, and hidden places we never would have found on our own. We tried some amazing delicious Thai snacks, walked through the incredible flower market, and explored the temples. It really felt more like being shown around by a local friend. Highly recommend him! Artty, thank you for showing us your culture and beautiful Bangkok."

      Street food, off the beaten track.

      "Nat gave us a great tour and introduced us into the real Bangkok streetfood culture. We appreciated we did nod visit the usual touristic areas. Nat took us to an area where Thai buy and eat their street food as well. In addition, as a local, Nat introduced is into the local habits and history. Highly appreciated!!"

      Wonderful and fun

      "We did do the Damnoensaduak floating market and Maeklong train market tour with our guide Nusara. Very nice experience. We did really like the conversations in the car and the explanations during the tour. And of course showing us around and be right on time on the right spot to see the train approaching and passing through the market 😃. @Nusara big thank you and hope to meet you someday in Thailand or elsewhere again. 🙏 Warm regards Sasha, Jochem & Gerard"
