          Kate and the driver were both fantastic.
          Kate my guide was lovely. After the heat & humidity of an hour or so at the Grand Palace I was not feeling well. In fact Kate was terrific getting the assistance I needed. The driver was also right by the exit to collect us. Thankfully I recovered however I elected to go back to my hotel rather than continue in the heat. They couldn’t have been more helpful which was greatly appreciated. Thanks once again.

          Impromptu Fun Night Out in Bangkok
          Fun night with our guide Kit for some streetside dinner and seeing many of Bangkok's highlights at night. So easy to get around by tuk tuk, learn a little of the history and culture and the perfect way to familiarise yourself with Bangkok if like me, you don't get to be a tourist all the time when visiting.

          Instagrammable Ayutthaya
          A must-see when in Bangkok is going outside of the city to Ayutthaya, the ancient capital of the Kingdom of Siam. Our guide for the private one-day tour was Phacharakit Wichiwarakul, or "Kit." We started in the morning with a pick-up at our hotel at 8 and started in the pristine Royal Summer Palace compound for the royal family today. Then we explored the ruins of the ancient Siamese capital where Kit unfolded the stories so that we could "see" the past in the present. Kit is a master at setting up his guests for Instagrammable photo settings that amazed us at what he saw and the pictures he took - and shared on WhatsApp! Our lunch in a local restaurant on a deck overlooking the river was the ideal way to get ready for the afternoon adventures. This is a must-do option!

          Excellent private Floating Market and Meaklong train tour
          We enjoyed the Floating Market and Maeklong Tour with the tour guide lady Ket. She teached us about Thailand and life in Thailand. She looked after us and helped us find the best shopping. We recommend this tour!

          The guide was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful. An impressive tour even on a repeat visit. A private guide is worth the money.

          Great First Day Tour Bangkok
          This was a great tour for our first day in Bangkok to see some beautiful temples and explore Chinatown and Flower market areas. Car was very new and comfortable. Our guide Farah took great care of us and was very informative on our tour.

          Full tour of main spots in Bangkok
          A busy day but we saw all we wanted to and were very well looked after. At each stop we seemed to get priority entry so no real waiting around. Very knowledgeable and thoughtful guide, Lala ensured we got all the best photo spots. She was very friendly and considerate. Answered all our questions and gave us free time at sights we wanted to see more of. But this is a full on tour and a lot to see in one day. We even squeezed in Chinatown and the Flower Market. Safe driver and comfortable car. One ferry crossing which was nice in the breeze . I would use this company again. Lunch was good as well !

          Excellent driver and vehicle, clean and good condition. Like new. The guide was very knowledgeable and informative. Lunch was included and was great 👍. This is a must do when in Bangkok. Don't forget long pants and easy off shoes for the temples.

          Great tour, would go again
          Great tour. The guide is knowledgeable and friendly, the driver was professional, and the places we went to were fun and interesting. The entire time the guide made sure we were happy and translated for us in situations when we needed it. They also adjusted the tour to spend more time at the places we care about more (floating and railway markets), and less at the ones we didn't care about as much (the temples). Overall we were very happy with the experience.

          Tour of Ayuthaya and other temples
          Kit was very thorough during the entire tour. He was very accommodating and very pleasant. He answered questions my group had during the tour. He took us to a nice lunch after the tour.

          We really enjoyed our tour with Duk! She was very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating! She took a bunch of pics of us so we could always remember the trip. Duk came highly recommended and we would suggest you ask for her, too!

          Fun Day at Railway & Floating Markets
          Great day with our guide Ketsiree. We had a private tour with our own car/driver and were picked up and dropped off right from our hotel lobby which was very convenient. She guided us to purchase a drink from one of the vendors at the train market which then gave us the ability to stand in front of their shop when the train came through so we had a great view. Good tip! This market was interesting to see because it's clearly a place the local community comes to purchase fish, vegetables, fruits, etc - not just a tourist thing. After the railway market, we visited a couple temples on our way to the floating market. Ketsiree was very helpful in explaining the Thai customs and relevant history at each of these sites. The boat ride at the floating market was a fun experience and we stopped at a few vendors to make some purchases right from our boat. Mostly tourists, but fun experience anyway. We had a nice Thai lunch right next to the floating market after the boat ride and returned back to Bangkok hotel by ~2pm. Thank you to Ketsiree and our driver for a fun day!

        We had an amazing private tour of Wat Arun and the canals in Bangkok. Puk was the best guide we could have asked for – incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing her culture with us. She provided so many fascinating insights that truly enriched our experience.

        The driver was also fantastic, ensuring a smooth and comfortable journey throughout.

        This tour is highly recommended for anyone looking for a personalized and authentic Bangkok experience. Thank you, Puk, for making our day so special!

        We had wonderful time on our tour. The tour was the perfect mixture of market, temple and canal sights. The guide was kind and knowledgeable, and the length of the tour was perfect for our two children. We loved seeing the giant beautiful Buddha and the Temple of the Dawn, and our children loved feeding the fish in the canals and seeing the large monitor lizards on the banks. Highly recommend this tour for families.

        Excellent private tour. Our guide Watchira was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us a wonderful day in Bangkok. The history, art, culture and much more in Bangkok is simply amazing and Watchira was excellent at showing us around. He spoke excellent English and had a great sense of humor. The taxi ride through Bangkok and the long boat ride through the canals were very well organized. If you have a few hours while in Bangkok, this is a must do trip. Highly recommended.

        My colleague and I wanted to see the sights and Miss Supatsara Wonghong (Aye) showed us around to the key landmarks. She's a wealth of knowledge about Thai history and impresses with her expansive recall of dates and historical info.

        We toured several temples and got she helped us "skip the line" and got us right into several venues very quickly. That's nice when it's so hot and you don't have to wrestle with the crowds.

        We toured the canals and got a glimpse of how the working class live, work and worship near the river. Thai people are very friendly and welcoming and Aye is certainly representative of their gracious nature.

        Transportation was very clean and well air-conditioned, so getting around town in the heat and congestion is done in style.
