Do this fantastic tour!!

Published on Jan, 2025

Absolutely fantastic! It was such a special experience, and our guide was fun, energetic and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed all the sights, and were super glad we chose the 4.30pm time slot because it wasn't too hot and we got to see the sunset and gorgeous pink sky. The tour ended across the river from Wat Arun just as the sunset was finishing - perfect for photos and enjoying a scoop of icecream.

The best thing we did in Bangkok

Published on Jan, 2025

This is the best thing you will do in Bangkok! The guide was amazing and gave you insight into the history of Bangkok and the people who live on the canals. If you want more of a cultural experience as opposed to Bangkok’s busy streets this is a must-do.
