The Royal Botanical Garden in Colombo is one of the largest and oldest gardens in Sri Lanka. It was established in 1821 by the British colonists and covers an area of nearly 60 acres. The garden is home to over 4,000 species of plants, including many rare and endangered species. The garden is also a popular tourist destination, with over 1 million visitors each year.
Myself, my wife and our daughter thoroughly enjoyed our time with Vania who is a real Roman. We did the tour in the early evening and the amount of food that we tasted was more than enough for our usual evening meal. Vania steered us to foods and flavors that are uniquely Roman. The small establishments that she chose for us were a testament to the artisanal nature of their craft and also ones that she frequents with her family and friends. Vania finished our tour atop Janiculum Hill with a wonderful evening view of Rome - a fitting end to our first day in Rome.
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.
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!
Michele was an amazing guide for us. We walked most of the tour to see the highlights of the city. Great background knowledge about the history but also relevant details about the Berlin of today. Great that she ended the trip by sharing an overview of the highlights to do oer neighborhood! We enjoyed our time together very much. Tip: schedule a tour by bike with Michele to cover more ground.
