About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- ingebB9355YW0 contributionsAmazing food tourThis was an amazing experience! Zarut took me to many places and I've tasted so many different dishes. His advice was solid; eating street food is no problem as long as you see it being prepared in front of you. As an European I was cautious but never experienced anything negative. I would truly recommend this tour!Written 2 June 2024
- camilla5630 contributionsGreat tour guideWe loved it! Our local - Kat - was extremely sweet, considerate and helpful. She picked us up in the lobby of our hotel. We went to see a few landmarks in Bangkok and also took a tour on the river, which was really great. She also took some pictures of us and sent them to us, which was really nice.Written 23 July 2023
- R3209LSfredb0 contributionsBangkok's ChinatownHad been to Bangkok many times but never visited Chinatown so we decided to use City Unscripted to book a private tour. Our guide, Kumpirada (Kat), met us at our hotel on time and ready to go. We used local transportation (which we really like to do) to get to and from Chinatown and Kat paid for everything. We arrive a little after 4 PM and visited the Golden Buddah and walked the main and some side streets in the daylight. Kat explained that the area transforms after dark and was she right. Street vendors set up stalls everywhere and Kat encouraged us to enjoy some of the food which we did. Kat paid for everything and the local foods we tried were fantastic. On our own we would have never tried the food but are really glad we did. This tour added to our Bangkok experience and would recommend it to everyone.Written 3 December 2019
- Footprints5860010 contributionsFun food tour in ChinatownKat Yindee took us on a great food tour of Bangkok's Chinatown. She knew a number of the vendors and has a passion for the food. She was a lot of fun to spend time with. And when we expressed interest - and were worn out by the heat - she took us to a new mall to see a different kind of Bangkok shopping.Written 7 October 2019
- linda l0 contributionsGreat option! Great host!Fantastic option for a reasonably priced private tour! Kat was a great host. Knowledgable and on time. She went out of her way to keep it fun and interesting. She contacted us in advance to ask about our interests. I would absolutely use this sightseeing options again.Written 22 August 2019
- Katy Y0 contributionsBangkok floating markets in private taxiDo not get sucked into this trip - it is a total tourist trap - they charge soooo much it’s ridiculous. Waste of money to get a boat around the markets which sell the same as you can get in Bangkok - it takes 1and half hours to get there in the taxi too- so not bother with this trip!!!Written 8 July 2019
- Mickjg0 contributionsNo better tourSo for three amazing days our guide Jojo took the two of us by the hand and led us around this amazing city. Custom hand made tours that reflected us as a couple, away from tourists, and into the real life Bangkok, new and old. If you wanted to experience this city then there is no better tour.Written 5 July 2019
- ChristianneM530 contributionsa 6 hour tour in Bangkokthe host came to our lobby, we did nice visiting to some tempels, we used a taxi, boot and skytrain. it was a great help to know how things go in Bangkok. the thing we didn't like was that he was very intereseted in his telephone. May be it is normal for this youth but we don't like it. At the end he told us the way back to the boatWritten 2 March 2019
- RGP73610 contributionsGreat way to see the cityWe met our guide Isabella in the reception of our hotel She was European but living in Bangkok and had a great knowledge of the city and it’s cultures We would not have done so much as we did if we had tried to go aloneWritten 14 July 2018
- Augustniagara0 contributionsOkay not greatWe were a little disappointed with our private tour. The guide did not contact us until the day before and this was after 2 emails asking when we would be contacted. We spent along time walking through the Chinatown part of Bangkok seeing the same thing! We saw very little of Bangkok. The guide also did share a lot of information and had trouble answering our questions.Written 7 January 2018
- TheodorosG19840 contributionsDay tour - BangkokWe had our day tour in Bangkok with Chatchai. Everything was amazing , cannot rate it high enough. Chatchai provided excellent service , valuable information , he was friendly, with great sense of humour. The itinerary was great , visited some amazing places like the Grant Palace and never felt like rushed . We had a good introduction on the local way of living by visiting local markets and taking local transportation. Everything was very carefully planned. Definitely recommend.Written 19 December 2017

What a wonderful experience! I wouldn’t imagine being able to get such an amazing and comprehensive visit being on our own. Our guide Zarut was incredible! His kindness, expertise and amazing sense of humor made such an amazing visit! His bicultural and bilingual skills made it such an easy and enriching experience! He understands perfectly cultural differences and uses them to identify the facts or points of interests to turn the visits more interesting, exciting and worth making. He recognizes his crowd and each of the attendants interests, inclinations and backgrounds to bring out the most interesting information and facts, making it fluid and fun! He also shares his own experiences and preferences as a local, to interest you on trying new flavors and experiences! Thank you so much Zarut, you made out of our tour a dear memory of a once in a lifetime trip!

Zarut is a wonderful guide. He’s very adaptable to your interests. In my case he facilitated an emergency stop to deal with a damage cell phone. Once that was addressed we saw a great deal of the city by tuk-tuk, train and cab. I walked my feet off. We saw temples gardens and markets.
I was very pleased with the whole experience.

We spent a great day in Bangkok with our guide, Zarut. Before arriving he worked with us to define an itinerary that responded to our interests. We made our way around by taxi, train, and subway with Zarut’s help. At each stop he shared interesting information and background to put into perspective what we were seeing. All of this made for a special day

My tour guide (Kumpirada) was very knowledgeable, friendly and her passion for what she does is apparent. I was lucky in that my tour happened just before stricter covid travel policies were implemented, so it seemed i had most destinations to myself! Kumpirada gave focused explanations at all sites. Would highly recommend

Zarut did a great job organizing a tour with very loose directions. He put together a custom itinerary that hit all the things I wanted to see, including off-the-beaten path markets and sites. His English is great and he did a nice job of getting us around the city gracefully.

Our visit to the Grand Palace and the Reclining Buddha in Bangkok was made all the more enjoyable thanks to our tour guide. He was kind, engaging, and very knowledgeable about the sights.
He shared interesting details about the history and culture of the places we visited and answered my husband’s many questions with thoughtful, clear explanations. His fun and approachable personality added a nice touch to the experience, making it feel relaxed and enjoyable.
Overall, we had a great time and would definitely recommend this tour to friends and family looking to explore Bangkok’s key attractions.

I really had a great experience with Kat. When I bought the tour, Kat contacted me to see how we can make my experience more memorable. She sent me quite a few ideas and I did the same. Once my trip day approaches, she sent me actual plan… and it was really great. I completely agreed with all her suggestions, ideas and timings. She met me at my hotel on time and there we went. We had great conversations, and she also made sure I enjoyed my time and visited the most places during the 8 hours.
She was really keen on how this tour was going to be and also coordinated all the timings and made sure we went to all locations.
Thanks so much again Kat for taking the time to tour me around. Kat is a wonderful person and very caring. If you are planning to visit Bangkok in the near future, please make sure you ask for Kat… you will not be disappointed at all.
