Sammy was a honest, young local which gave us a great taste of the local street food market in a busy neighbourhood in Bangkok. We got to taste a good wariety of food, partly in the pathway streetfood shops in a condomanian neighbourhood and partly in a street market with big wariety of meat, fruit, vegetables, cooked food and equipment. We enjoyed every minute of the walk with Sammy. He told us about himself and the local spirit in the area as well as he showed us an interest in our roots and lifestyle. A good cultural exchange chat.Honest walk - knowledgeable local

Sammy was enthusiastic, but there were several times we did not understand each other. I feel he could have been more attentive to his clients interests and requests.Some miscommunication

Sammy war ein netter Kerl und hat uns zwei verschiedene Märkte gezeigt (einen normalen Streetfood Markt und einen Gourmet Markt). Es hat Spaß gemacht, auf diese Art Bangkoks Streetfood-Kultur kennenzulernen. Alle Speisen, die wir probiert haben, haben uns geschmeckt. Aber den letzten Teil der Führung (durch den Supermarkt und durch die kleinen Geschäfte, die abgepackte Produkte verkaufen) fanden wir uninteressant.

Sammy is really a nice guy, and I’m sorry I can’t leave him a positive review, but unfortunately, there were too many things that didn’t go well. First of all, he showed up looking very sloppy, completely different from how he appears in his profile picture. Then, the choice of restaurants felt really random and improvised, without any prior selection. The biggest issue, however, was hygiene. Thai people are generally very welcoming, but the places we visited were extremely, extremely dirty. In fact, right in front of one restaurant, there were piles of garbage and even rats. Of course, we told him we wanted to change location, and although he was willing to accommodate us, the situation didn’t improve at all. In the end, we decided to cut the tour short. Unfortunately, the next day, two girls in the group even came down with diarrhea. I strongly do not recommend this experience! Bad experience

Fun and filling afternoon with Sammy for our introduction to food in Bangkok! Sammy is nice and easy to talk to, and introduced us to a good variety of street and market food. 10 Tastings in Bangkok

I had a fantastic experience with our tour guide, Sammy, in Bangkok. Sammy made the tour fun and was very informative. Despite the hot weather, he kept everyone's spirits high and made sure we enjoyed every moment. I would definitely use his services again when I'm in town.Fun and Informative Tour with Sammy

Sammy is a great tour guide so helpful and interesting. We visited a night market that not many tourists would know about. Sammy explained everything to us in great detail and showed us so many diferrent foods. We had a great chat afterwards in two bars and it was a lovely evening spent with a well informed local person. Highly recommended.Wonderful evening

By Thailand standards this is a pricey tour at £60 a person (approx 5k baht), on rough calculations the food that was provided totalled no more than 700 baht absolute maximum. The 10 dishes were provided but only across 2 locations - one short strip of food stalls on a main road, and a hawker market. The 10 dishes included watermelon and a coffee. The food that we had in the hawker market was dreadful and the worst food we have eaten in Bangkok, there was no thought put into the order of dishes, or we believe the vendors. It seemed like just the cheapest option was selected. We chose Sammy for our guide because he seemed charismatic and personable, however the person we met on the day was a far cry from this. The tour guide provided no extra context or storytelling to what we were eating, besides simply telling us what it was. We also walked around the market in circles with Sammy pointing at produce and saying what it was (including basic fruits such a strawberries), which in a market that mostly sells fruit and dried fish became extremely repetitive and boring very quickly. The activity felt like a time filler considering we finished the food element of the tour in about 90 minutes. This tour would still struggle to be of any value if you had 0 knowledge of Thai food and if it cost about 10% of the price paid. We left the tour after two and a half hours because we had long completed the 10 courses and we had been sat in the coffee shop for about 30 minutes at this point. Dreadful
