Araya gave us a locals point of view on this fun and informative 5 hour tour. We were able to see quite a bit of the city and got deeper on the history of the temples and areas we visited than we would have if we had booked a large group tour. It was so nice to be able to go at our own pace. 10/10 would recommend!Wonderful Bangkok Tour

Tiangtip was extremely patient and understanding. I arrived extra late for my appointment and she graciously waited. She is very knowledgeable about this beautiful city and was able to answer my questions without pause. Tia helped me gain a deeper understanding of the Buddhist religion and a greater appreciation of Thai culture. Thank you so much! This is an amazing tour given by a sensational tour guide! Thank you Tia, I enjoyed every moment. I will definitely be booking with her again.Sensational!

Tony was a wonderful tour guide. He was knowledgeable and expert. His explanations of the temples, shrines and cultural nuances were clear and concise. He was also flexible as we asked him to take us to the Grand Palace rather than to an additional market and he obliged. Tony was kind and concerned for our welfare making sure that we always had water (it was a hot day) and also making sure that we found our way on the subway. We highly recommend him for your touring needs. Terrific tour guide

Moddy was a wonderful guide. We did temple tours with her, and she was so knowledgeable about Buddhism and the history of the temples. She also couldn’t have been more accommodating. When our flight was delayed, she rescheduled her day to be able tp meet us hours later than the original time. She was so generous with her time, wanting to ensure that we got as much as we could out of her experience. She shared personal stories that made everything more meaningful. Highly recommend Moddy as a guide!Moddy is a great guide!

AMAZING! We feel like we saw almost all of Bangkok in half a day. We saw all the tourist essentials while still finding out little hidden secrets we never would have seen by ourselves, we learned so much about the beautiful and rich Thai history and Tony answered questions we didn’t know we had. Tony was funny, kind and informative and instantly felt like a friend!Tony is the Best!

(About local Akarin)

21 February 2025

Akarin is highly knowledgeable (having a PHD in cultural history), fun (for adults and children), makes everything come to life, is extremely honest and helpful, and has impeccable English. We went to the Royal Palace and Wat Pho/the Reclining Buddha and he brought together vast knowledge, storytelling and entertainment - we then did a tour of the khlongs on a private longtail boat and he brought the various neighborhoods to life for us. The next day we went on a tour of trendy Tad Noi and Chinatown, were provided with more delightful history and stories in the Temple of the Golden Buddha and the temple of the princess of Compassion, amongst others, whilst milling through the streets and various markets, and stopping off at interesting and arty coffee shops, taken to high quality eateries and, for something different in the morning, did a tour on the Mon Island (Akarin arranged for the museum to be opened for us during the week, took us to make pottery, toured the island on electric motorbikes and gave us a fascinating insight into the Mon people and the island). Akarin was full of ideas of things to do and see and also very happy to listen to our preferences, was full of information about what to do on our other days and helped make sure we had value for money on purchases. This was not our first time in Bangkok but Akarin's integrity, friendliness, knowledge and sense of humour made it so special and memorable. Thank you, we will definitely keep in touch!Akarin opened our eyes to Bangkok

We had a perfect tour with Moddy. We asked that the tour be modified a bit so we could have lunch and coffee as we toured. Moddy created an ideal tour for us touring some, having lunch in Chinatown, touring some more, then having coffee and finishing up at the reclining Buddha which was the highlight of our visit to Bangkok. Moddy is smart, energetic, and fun. We noticed other tourists struggling to figure out the metro, bathrooms, and best locations for photos: but with Moddy as our guide we had no struggles, only fun. Highly recommended!!Perfect Guide

Informative and knowledgeable and communicated faultlessly in English. We experienced the local bus, tuk tuks and a river boat. Great fun was had by all and we highly recommend Tony if you want to see the highlights of Bangkok in one day! Thank you Tony, 5 🌟 from us!One day in Bangkok

(About local Tony)

11 February 2025

Our guide Tony was a happy, kind, thoughtful, and knowledgeable guide. He planned an exciting behind the scenes experience, and he was still open to our needs and limitations. We took off on an exciting boat taxi through the canals to our first destination. We experienced the behind the scenes of everyday life in Bangkok. These were views of life for the people, their humble homes, and way of life. The ticket taker on the boat scaled the outside ledge getting everyone's fares. We arrived at a couple of different places first was the reclining Buda. Tony had great understanding of the history and insight into how and why it was built. Things about the king of Thailand at the time it was built. detailed information regarding the paintings around the Buda, and I felt sorry for the crowds of people thronging to see it, because they weren't getting the inside information that Tony was providing us. Tony was kind, and helpful, getting us cokes when the heat was too much. He took us to a special place for lunch that included a picturesque view of another large temple area while we enjoyed great food and he shared about the water crafts on the river below and the temple beyond. The day was filled with so much information. Tony also took me to a place to shop for somethings I wanted to buy. He assisted in getting me a good price, and helped us at every turn. Tony has an excellent command of English ( as well as German he told us) he made every moment of our excursion delightful. One of the best things was riding the Tuk Tuk's. These were colorful golf cart type of taxi. We had been told not to use them because they may take advantage of you. The whole time I felt safe and secure with Tony, He looked out of all of our needs. I'm so glad we got to have that experience with him. What a wild ride! All day long. I am so glad I chose to use a local, and Tony is the best. Bangkok like I never imagined

(About local Sudarat)

11 February 2025

Suda was so welcoming. She was so pleasant to talk to and yet informative about Bangkok and its history. She took our group to the Golden Buddah, Chinatown, Flower Market and another local temple. Some of our highlights: 1) She brought us to the market to have lunch. It was the best tom yum I ever tasted in my life. 2) She helped me interpret conversations when looking for something specific and coordinating with the private driver that we hired for the day. 3) She hailed us a tuktuk to convoy since we didnt fit so our group didnt separate. Would recommend Suda! And would go find another private tour with WithLocals. Chill but authentic tour

Tuangtip guided our group of four on a January weekday in Bangkok. Our plans to meet her at a subway exit were thwarted by the subway being shut down. A kindly Bangkok resident noticed our plight and helped us by actually riding the Skytrain withthus as we took an alternative route. Tuangtip demonstrated her flexibility by finding us after we arrived. Her tour was insightful and helped us understand the temple complexes and the statues of Buddha. She was attentive to our interests and answered questions with poise and solid information. Tuangtip even took photos of us and shared them on “WhatsApp” after completing the tour. She talked us onto a Tuktuk for a wonderful ride through some busy traffic. Her manner was gentle, kind and thoughtful. When we think of Bangkok we will always remember her. We can recommend her without reservation.Knowledgable, Flexible and Charming

Thoroughly enjoyed an evening tour and full-day tour with Araya. Araya is a very spiritual person who uses her extensive knowledge of Thai art, history, religion etc. to give valuable insights into Thai culture. Got to ride the BTS, tube, ferry and couple of different types of tuk-tuk; tasted good coffee, Thai street snacks and finished off with some great noodles at a nice little eatery in Chinatown. Thoroughly recommend.

As a family of five from Iceland, visiting Asia for the first time, we couldn’t have asked for a better way to experience Bangkok than the Full Coverage Bangkok City Tour. From the moment we met our guide, Tuangatip, we knew we were in great hands. Her warm personality, excellent English, and deep knowledge of Bangkok and its history made the tour both educational and incredibly enjoyable. We explored the city’s most iconic landmarks, including Wat Traimit, Wat Pho, and the Golden Mount, all while learning fascinating stories about Thailand’s rich culture. Tuangatip’s thoughtful and easy-going approach made everything feel seamless, and her genuine kindness put us at ease throughout the day. What truly stood out was how personalized the experience felt. Tuangatip tailored the tour to our interests, gave us amazing local recommendations, and made sure we saw Bangkok not just as tourists but through the eyes of a local. She also helped us navigate public transportation with ease, which added a fun, authentic touch to the experience. This tour was the perfect introduction to Bangkok and Thai culture, leaving us inspired to explore even further. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, kind, and passionate guide who truly loves her city, we wholeheartedly recommend Tuangatip and this fantastic tour. A must-do for anyone visiting Bangkok!Unforgettable Bangkok Tour with Tuangatip

We booked a tour with Artty to see some of the main sites in Bangkok and we are so glad that we did. He was so accommodating right from the start when I messaged him upon our arrival in Bangkok. He wrote back so quickly and we made our plan to meet the following morning. Artty is a master storyteller so we learned so much about Thai culture and events in such an interesting way. We visited temples, Chinatown, markets, great eating establishments and more! We walked and we rode in a Tuk Tuk and also a canal boat. We had every amazing experience with Artty. And when I said I wanted to see an indoor market, Artty arranged to end our time together in a way that he could take us there. He also sent recommendations for a great massage we could do later that evening. Not only is Artty an amazing tour guide, but he’s kind and funny - and a great photographer as he will make sure you get great photos too!! A tour with Artty will be the highlight of your time in Bangkok. A top-notch tour guide

He is a really fun guy and made the tour even more enjoyable with his stories and insider information. We learned a lot about the Thai lifestyle and had fun chats about topics outside of the tour. His recommendation for a restaurant was spot on, and the sequence of the tour was perfect. His English is super good and his humor translates very well. At the end of the tour he even surprised us at our hotel with a small gift which was super cute. Would 100% recommend a tour with Tony for any visitors coming to Bangkok.Grear tour with Tony

Saravarint hat uns einen ganzen Tag durch Bangkok geführt. Sie spricht ein gut verständliches Englisch und weiß gut über ihre Heimatstadt Bescheid. Wir haben drei verschiedene Tempel besichtigt, sind durch Chinatown gelaufen und haben Snacks an verschiedenen Stellen probiert. Dabei waren wir per Boot, Tuktuk und Metro unterwegs. Alles klappte wie am Schnürchen. Wir mussten ihr nur folgen. So hatten wir einen interessanten Tag in dieser riesigen unüberschaubaren Stadt. Nochmals vielen Dank! Entspannt durch Bangkok
