Traveler reviews
Wonderful experience
An experience off the beaten track, made of continuous discoveries rich in cultural and spiritual significance, led by a special guide, Uma, passionate, precise, attentive and very prepared. Both Uma and her colleague in the office were so patient to guide us to the meeting point, which we could not find because we got the wrong subway exit and they waited for us! The route is well thought-out and alternates walking experiences in unexpected areas in contact with locals and by electric boat between canals, where suddenly you will find yourself taking a trip back in time and seeing Bangkok's largest buddha. Top lunch with local dishes. Not only that, Uma gave us valuable tips to end our day in a splendid way Thank you very much! Day of indimenti
Hidden places of Bangkok with an excellent guide
This was a fascinating tour that got to parts of Bangkok we never would have known about, and saw parts we did from a whole new perspective (on the canal). I won't spoil everything you'll see and do, but it's well worth your time to experience it. Our guide was Kaudao who was excellent. She was so knowledgeable and genuinely interested in sharing this with us. She even took us round the flower market before we started the full tour. We would have liked a little more time at Artist's House, but we saw so much on the day it would have been hard to pack it all on otherwise. Thoroughly recommend!
Well worth it.
Pond was a very knowledgeable and helpful guide throughout the whole tour. A comfortable amount of time on land and water. Very Enjoyable trip, great for taking photos. Thanks Pond.
Best Side of Bangkok
This was my favorite trip in Bangkok! Our tour guide, Shin, was extremely knowledgeable about the tour and did his best to make sure we had a good time. It rained while we were touring and Shin provided umbrellas for each of us which was very nice and considerate. We did not feel rushed as we were given time to explore each location. Thonburi was my favorite part of Bangkok. The charm of the homes, the people, and the location gave an energy and vibe completely different than the bustling side of Bangkok. The views from the canal was incredible especially as we approached the Big Golden Buddha. The museums, cafes, and tucked away alleyways provided even further charm. Just visiting on this tour, confirmed that I will be staying in this area when I return to Thailand. Thank you Shin for this introduction and a great outing!!
Super nice excursion!!!
