Wonderful city, wonderful tour - We booked a two day tour of Bangkok during our cruise stop in Laem Chabang. Mr. Chob was very responsive and easy to work with. Our tour guide Joy, who was fluent in English, was super energetic and friendly! She really made us feel like family and made sure we didn't miss anything, giving us numerous tips and being a wonderful photographer. Our short stay in Bangkok wouldn't have been the same without her. I'd wholeheartedly recommend booking any tour from Chob if you're lucky enough to visit this wonderful city!! You won't regret it.

Private tour worth the cost! - I can't express what a fabulous decision it was to go with a private tour guide for those areas on the outer edges of Bangkok that are not easy to reach. I was so impressed with both the excellent communication and friendliness we received from our guide. I loved that she took photos and videos for us, many times without me having to ask. She also bought local fruits for us to try. I highly, highly recommend this!! Only thing I would say is that I learned more about the history of Wat Sam Phran's founder and it really turned me off to the place knowing that he is still loved by members of that temple. Knowing that now, I would not want to visit the temple again and would not recommend it to others. This is completely independent of the amazing care we were given by our tour guide and driver. Thank you to Ms Tai and also to our driver (whom I'm so sorry I forgot his name).

Great Company - We took the trip to Maeklong Railway, coconut syrup manufacture and the floating market tour with Ms Joy, just the two of us, Ms Joy and the driver. She was an excellent guide - knowledgeable and couldn't do enough for us. We had a fantastic experience and cannot recommend this company enough. I will certainly take more tours with them when I am next in Thailand. Can't wait! PS I would give more than 5 stars if I could!!

Best tour we’ve ever done! - This tour was the most magical experience! It was awesome and our guide Tai (I hope I’m spelling it correctly!) was the best ever — she became a true friend we will miss! She answered all of our questions so thoughtfully and thoroughly and just really guided us through the awesome spots we saw. We really felt like we were with an insider! Everything we saw was so cool. They even had ice cold towels waiting for us when we got to the car each time which is a godsend on a crazy hot day. Can’t say enough great things… I could go on…Just book it!

Best experience ever! - We did a tour straight from the airport in the morning with Ms. Joy and Mr. Tony, and we had the most wonderful day. Joy gave had so much knowledge and did everything to tailor the trip to give us a genuine and special experience for our family to remember. 5 stars, no doubt!!

A great day trip from Bangkok! - Our Guide Tai was great, she gave us lots of great info and had us try many new foods. We were able to see some great markets and of course the fun train as it moves through the market as everyone scattered. The floating market and boat ride were peaceful and wonderful. Even saw a whole bunch of Fireflies!! We had a great day our guide and driver were outstanding. A great way to escape Bangkok for a day and see what life is like in the Countryside.

Alex was the best tour guide! - Alex was super friendly, so kind and helpful. He was very knowledgeable and offered lots of great information. I loved that we stopped so many places and he got us good snacks along the way that were all included in our private tour. He was wonderful too at taking photos of us and capturing precious moments.

All nice, the macklong railroad, floating market but the dragon temple could have avoided it, looks like a carousel of - The trip begins with the congested traffic from kao San where I started the tour, you arrive at a stop, where after 20 minutes a train arrives and loads us and then stops every now and then to collect other participants, after 30 minutes of travel you arrive at a dead track, greeted by a festive crowd that takes a lot of photos of us, overall, nice, then continue to the floating market, where we are 1 hour, I had lunch with Thai pad cooked on a boat and is served at a table on land, finally I ride on a boat, and then last stop at the time of the dragon (horrendous) even at the global village of Dubai you do not see certain disgraces...

Save your money. No show! - If I could zero stars, I would’ve. We are 44 minutes past our pickup and zero communication. We were on time and at the pickup spot agreed to, and confirmed, last night. Multiple calls to the tour guide and operator from myself and the Viator agent, no response. Do not recommend.
