What an amazing experience! Not only is Chef Hnoi a fantastic guide, but as a chef she has deep knowledge of food and had us try things multiple ways to enhance the experience. She took us round an area you would only only about if you were local and we tried some fantastic food: pad Thai, amazing soup, mango sticky rice and sever yummy snacks! Thai food is the best. Having lived in the US and Mexico for many years Chef Hanoi’s English is perfect and she is a delight to talk to about life in Bangkok. If we come back we will be doing another tour with her for sure! Best day ever!

Spending time with Hnoi, learning from her vast food and cultural knowledge was such a great experience. She is so wise and personable, it felt as if she could have been an auntie of mine. I learned and tasted so much from Hanoi and wish her and her mom a happy healthy year!My long lost auntie

This is one of the most confusing reviews I’ve had to write — and the reason is quite simple: we had a lovely tour that we truly enjoyed, led by a wonderful guide whom we deeply appreciated, but we didn’t exactly get what we had asked for. We had specifically requested a tour that would resemble a food tour. While we did buy food from three different places, we only ate at one of them during the tour — the other two we ended up eating back at our hotel after the tour had finished. That was the only part we didn’t really enjoy. Apart from that, Chef Hnoi was an excellent guide. She spoke very good English, answered all of our questions, showed us some beautiful and interesting parts of the city, and every recommendation she gave about Bangkok turned out to be spot on. We definitely recommend her as a guide for a memorable experience in Bangkok!Όμορφη εμπειρία!

Chef Hnoi provided us with a wonderful tour of the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, a long boat ride and more for a great introduction to Bangkok. She managed the pace well to suit our family of 4 adults and 3 children, and provided commentary to assist the kids learn as well as the adults. She provided great information on local history and culture. Chef Hnoi ensured our family memories of our short Bangkok stay are enhanced by pointing out great photo points and also capturing some great photos of the family with wonderful backgrounds for us. We really enjoyed the tour and would strongly recommend Chef Hnoi to others.Wonderful Family Experience

We had a 16hr layover between flights. We wanted to see some unique sights around Bangkok during our short visit. So I arranged a tour with Chef Hnoi. She was very prompt in meeting us at the airport. Hnoi had the whole day planned perfectly. But she was also flexible to include whatever we wanted to do. We rode the train into the Mae Klong station markets. Visited a temple held up by trees and then took a boat ride to the floating markets. We enjoyed looking around. By then temperatures were soaring to 36 degrees so we decided to end our day at the MBK shopping mall in Bangkok. Hnoi had organised a fantastic private car for our travels and the comfy seats and safe driver were perfect for some weary travellers. Hnoi speaks perfect English and is willing to accommodate your every need. Highly recommended.Perfect cultural experience of Bangkok

We had an absolutely wonderful time with Chef Hnoi — this was a highlight of our trip to Bangkok! From the moment we arrived, she welcomed our family with warmth and genuine hospitality. The experience was cultural, educational, and filled with laughter. Chef Hnoi is not only an amazing person, but also a fantastic storyteller. She shared with us the background and significance of each place, and we learned so much about Thai culture. She was great with our children as well, making them feel involved and confident. The food experience was fantastic and the whole experience felt personal and authentic. Thank you, Chef Hnoi.. We left with full stomachs and beautiful memories. We recommend this experience 100% to anyone visiting Bangkok!A truly unforgettable experience

Chef Hnoi prepared a custom made tour to fit our request. We did a canal tour, visited a temple and had some amazing street food. We had a great selection and she catered for my duaghter who does not eat meat. She is very friendly and knowledgeable about thai culture, sights and food. She also gave us tips and advice for the rest of pur time in Bangkok. I would definitely recommend a tour with Hnoi. Great fun!

Our family really enjoyed our time with Chef Hnoi. Her communication was excellant. SHe engaged with and focused on our girls. She was lovely answering all our questions. We went to the flower market and loved working with the lotus flower then offering our flowers at the temple. Wat Pho was so interesting and Chef Hnoi added to our understanding of the community and the culture. We went on a rickshaw ride and got ice cream at a lovely loval shop. We then went to the Golden mount/Wat Sak where the kids enjoyed ringing the gongs and counting the steps. We ended at a nice air condition space to look around some shops. She was also kind enough to show us the metro system and give us some advice on other adventures. Really well balanced time with a kind and very knowledgable guide. Thank you Chef Hnoi for enriching our stay in Thailand and helping us to see the city as you do.Lovely Day with Chef Hnoi

She was absolutely, fantastic.Start it off at a temple. Where she gave insight into thailand culture and how they treat others. Then she ventured into old chinatown area gave us, a bit of history and some of their traditions. Stop at a local restaurant. Had lots of various different dishes to try and ask what we liked and what we disliked to make sure we all had something we wanted.I want you to try that. We never would have thought of. After that, we did some street food vendors, and it then took us to where we could get a cab back to the hotel. One of our guides, even talk to the driver to make sure we got picked up. Add a good spot. Could I recommend this more learnt so much. And I was very happy, I did it.Very knowledgeable and extra insight
