No scams!
We had an unforgettable private tour through Bangkok with our amazing guide, Aoi. The experience started with a fun and breezy TikTuk ride through the bustling streets of Bangkok and Chinatown, followed by a visit to the vibrant flower market. From there, we boarded a private longboat and cruised along the river, passing riverside homes, local businesses, and temples. One of the highlights was stopping to feed the catfish—a surprisingly fun and memorable moment!
We also visited the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, which was even more impressive than we expected. Aoi guided us through the temple grounds, sharing the stories and meanings behind the statues, pagodas, and panels. She even pointed out a panel painted by her friend’s mother, which made the experience feel even more personal and special.
To wrap up the day, we enjoyed cool drinks at a rooftop bar with an incredible view of the river and Bangkok skyline. Throughout the tour, Aoi took tons of photos for us, helping us capture memories we’ll treasure.
This tour was the perfect way to end our time in Bangkok. When we return, we’ll absolutely book another tour with this company—and hopefully with Aoi again!

Fun Day in Bangkok
Our guide, Pam was so fun and patient with our group of five. We ventured around Bangkok via tuk tuk visiting the major sites along the way. We loved hanging out with her and throughly enjoyed the tour.

Wonderful Tour
Our guide was Meaw and she was wonderful. Engaging, knowledgeable and great fun. Always ready to answer questions and detail the history behind the temples and palaces. We were looking for a day trip around the main sites in Bangkok and this was exactly what we were looking for. Highly recommended

We had a great time with Arrty! He was very quick with responding to messages and knew a lot to tell about Thailand and it’s history. Also our kids had a lot of fun during the trip and he explained everyting very well for them.
