We had a great time visiting many parts of downtown Bangkok that we would not have otherwise visited, and was able to avoid traffic by cutting through back streets and alleys on the electric scooters. Our tour guide Woody was fantastic, taking us to some really interesting sights. Would definitely recommend to others.

Our guide Jacky was fantastic! He was very accommodating/ friendly and seamlessly coordinated despite some of folks running late. He knew a lot of the history/ fun facts of the sites we visited. This tour was a great way to spend some quality family time and visit various sites in a short amount of time.

Loved this evening tour. Less crowded and lots of good photo opportunities. We loved our tour guide Ratima. She’s so friendly and patient especially since we were running late due to traffic. She managed to communicate with is and ensure we would be able to participate in the tour

is all a bit quick. but really cool photo at night if temples!

Woody is the best. Lots of great surprises on the way!
