We had such an amazing experience with our Bangkok temple, river taxi, and street snacks tour! Ms Nok was absolutely wonderful—she was warm, knowledgeable, and made the day so enjoyable. She went above and beyond to help us with our three-year-old son, making sure he was comfortable and included throughout the tour. We learned so much about Thai culture, history, and daily life thanks to her thoughtful explanations and stories. The mix of temples, river travel, and local snacks made it both authentic and unforgettable. Highly recommend her to anyone visiting Bangkok!Excellent tour❤️

It was truly one of the highlights of our stay in Bangkok. We can highly recommend this tour and Tony as a guide – we learned a lot, tried new things, and laughed so much along the way!Truly authentic Bangkok

My husband and I, plus our two sons aged 15&12 spent the morning with Tony doing the highlights tour. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. Tony is very relaxed and friendly, made us feel at ease immediately. Even went out of his way to accommodate our kids when they wanted an ice-cream mid tour! He is very knowledgeable, we learned lots about the history of everything we saw from flower markets to temples and lots more. He's also an excellent photographer and took great pics of our family all together which I will treasure, he also knows the best places to get a good shot. We all enjoyed the tuk tuk ride so much. He helped us figure out how to get to Isosiam after the tour has finished which was a big help. We highly recommend Tony's tour.Fantastic Host

We did two tours with Piya and learned so much from her. We visited a few temples in Bangkok on the first day, and were lucky enough to get to see and hear the monks chanting at Wat Suthat. Then we spent the day at Ayutthaya, and had a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. We had the absolute best time, Piya's friendly, knowledgeable, and so well-organized. We covered so much more than we ever could have on our own, from tucked-away local spots to must-see landmarks, all with thoughtful explanations and fun stories along the way. Piya handled every detail—from transportation to timing—with such ease that we could just relax and enjoy the experience. This was a highlight of our trip, and we’ll be talking about it for years. Don’t hesitate—book Piya and enjoy a day you won’t forget!A Day with Piyaporn is

Our day with Tony was the perfect mix of culture, local sights, and personal connection. We began by walking through Bangkok’s local streets, getting a feel for daily life and hidden gems most visitors miss. We then visited a quiet local temple, where Tony shared insights into Thai traditions and Buddhist practices in a way that was both informative and interesting. Afterwards, we hopped in a tuk tuk and made our way to the colorful flower markets—a feast for the senses. We crossed the river by ferry to Wat Arun, where Tony brought the temple’s history and construction to life. It was a magical moment, especially as we explored the ceramics on the outside of the temple. Finally, we caught the ferry back across the Chao Phraya, taking in the city one last time before saying goodbye to Tony. Tony’s knowledge, warmth, and love for Bangkok made the day feel personal and unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience the real Bangkok.Authentic Bangkok Tour with Tony

Our family of 5 had the best time with Artty! In a few hours, that flew by, we saw so much of Bangkok and he managed to keep my kids attention for every second of it. Artty was super in tune with what we all were interested in and I feel like he adjusted the tour to fit our family perfectly. We had so much fun discovering hidden alleys, hearing stories in each temple, and racing through the city on tuk tuks. A perfectly timed rest to feed the turtles was also one of the highlights of the day. We have traveled a lot with our kids, now teens, and this may have been our favorite tour yet. We cannot recommend Artty enough!! An amazing day in Bangkok

This was the highlight of our trip in Bangkok! Tony was very friendly and his English was fantastic. We could tell that he is a very proud Thai man (as he should be), with a wealth of knowledge, we learnt so much and saw a whole other side to Bangkok. From history, food and local life, it was incredibly insightful. He was also interested in us too and made us feel at ease with the tour. Even after the tour had finished he took us to an amazing restaurant with an incredible view of Wat Arun Ratchawararam Ratchawaramahawihan across the water. 10/10 ⭐️You have to book with Tony!!

We just arrived in Bangkok when we met Tuangtip. She is a very helpfull, informative and a very sweet person, and of course as a guide she knows it all. It was like you have known her for a long time. We had a great time together! Great personality, very good in informing you about everything during the tour. Can asnwer every Questions you have! Knows alot about Food (I am also a foodie) but also the rest of all sights we have been to. If we would book via with locals we definitly would book her again! Unfortunately for other tour we wanted book she was not available, so we did not book because we only wanted Tai after this so that is a great compliment for her (Tai, her nickname) we would definitly book Tai again next time!! Highly reccommend her! We loved Tuangtip (Tai)

My Highlights and Hidden Gems Tour with Taungtip was the perfect tour of Bangkok and I highly recommend a tour with her. Taungtip speaks very good English that’s easy to understand and she’s very knowledgeable and kind. Our meeting stop was easy to find but I was late because of taxi issues, and she was understanding and patient about it. We started our tour in the most beautiful historic indoor market with individual unique stalls of royal and historic foods. I tried several delicious snacks and even bought some for the hotel. Taungtip bought some for me to try and explained the history of the various stalls and shops and the vendors were all so friendly. The upper floors were shops of Thai silks and brocades, and traditional celebration costumes, just beautiful. Taungtip took me to the flower market, produce market, on a tuk tuk, the boat ferry, the Wat Aron and all the while explained interesting history and facts. She was so kind with the people we encountered and we laughed and smiled continuously. I didn’t want our tour to end but she gave me great information on how to continue my day at the Grand Palace, Queen Sirikit Museum of Textiles (free with Palace ticket), Wat Pho with the reclining Buddha, and end the day with traditional dance at the Royal Palace (which was also free with my Palace ticket). I cannot recommend this tour with Taungtip enough! I would have toured with her again if I’d had time. Not all my Bangkok tour guides were special like her.Fabulous Solo Tour With Tuangtip

We really had a great time with Saravarint touring Bangkok! We were here on business and had an afternoon to spare, so we booked a last minute tour. We met up with her and first asked if we could do some shopping to get some souvenirs for our wives. She took us to a place where the locals shopped and found us some good deals. Then we toured a few outdoor markets before heading to see the temples. She was very friendly and funny. We really appreciated her knowledge of the Thai history and culture. I would recommend her for your visit to Thailand!Had a great time!

I spent the day with Tuangtip (Tai) on a private tour and it was simply amazing from beginning to end!! I took the tour without my friends and felt completely safe and I learned so much. Tai was patient, kind and incredibly knowledgeable. It was great taking the tour on my own as I got to go at the pace I wanted to and given the extreme heat in Bangkok, Tai was more than happy to stop whenever I needed/wanted to.A perfect way to see the best of Bangkok

He even went out of his way to ensure we got on the correct ferry and train after our tour. He was also very interested in learning about the history and politics of our country.
