Great tour! - Joy was our travel guide and she was so kind, helpful and just a great guide for us. The tour was perfect, it was great to see some of the canals of Bangkok, try some street food, visit some local artists and see some temples and buddhas from the water. It was a little touch and go, as it started pouring down rain while we were in the flower market, but it cleared up and we were still able to take the longboat across the river and into the canals. I would highly recommend Joy, she was on time, flexible and wanted to make sure we had a good time.

A very special canal experience… - A great, personalised, fun way to experience local life in the Bangkok canals. Our guide, Nutty, was tremendous, full of fun facts and a great photographer too! Recommended!!

Marvelous Choice of Tour - We loved this tour. Our host Joy really was fantastic, the rendezvous was easy and communication leading up to the trip was really good. We didn’t fancy jumping on a group boat and this was a great option.
Joy was so knowledgeable and cheerful throughout. The boat and driver were first class. I firmly believe this is the best tourist thing to do in Bangkok after many visits. Thoroughly recommended,

A fun experience with a great guide! - This tour was great! Our guide, Alex, went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. We arrived early and he was already there, so we didn't have to wait. He welcomed us with little gifts, and got us snacks and drinks on the way to the boat. As the canal locks were open when we took the tour, we didn't have to wait and we had some time left after getting off the boat, so Alex took us to visit the nearby fresh flower and herbs markets.
Aside from being attentive and kind, Alex is also very knowledgeable and has a very interesting life story. He had answers to all of our questions, and we learnt a great deal about buddhism, hinduism, and Bangkok history.
Highly recommended tour!

A MUST DO EXPERIENCE 10/10 - An amazing experience! from the start to finish our tour guide Alex was brilliant such a friendly person who instantly made us feel welcome, meeting us and walking us through the beautiful flower market and buying us a flower bracelet on the way to the boat. Very knowledgable of all things any questions we had he answered fully.
An added bonus was he had different thai snacks and fruits which was a great opportunity to try the different things.
A lovely experience as a whole so interesting seeing all the properties along the canal and river, and stopping off to see a temple, local shops and got to feed the fish in the canal.
Would recommend this massively the only downside was it went too quickly and we couldn’t bring Alex home with us! ❤️

Fantastic tour & Fantastic Guide - Ms Nutty was incredible and it was fantastic to get a tour of the area from a local. Absolutely would recommend a private long tail tour with her!

Most excellent experience in Bangkok - We took the private option of this tour, and we were blown away by our experience. We were picked up from our hotel (which wasn't too close to where the actual canal tour started) and started learning things from our guide right from the beginning. All throughout was she knowledgeable about every question we had, and gave us interesting insights into Thai history and culture. She was very friendly and helpful, which really shaped our experience of Bangkok.
So, if you can, try to go with Ms. Mee, as she is a most excellent tour guide.

Great 2-hour tour on the river! - This was an incredible quick trip on the Chao Praya river! My husband and I absolutely loved our tour guide, Nutty. She was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about Bangkok and Thai culture that we likely would not have learned otherwise. Additionally, she took us to some cool hidden gems in the city, and she gave us great restaurant recommendations. This is a great option for a trip if you are in Bangkok for a short time and want to build in some other experiences as well.

Great tour for a quick trip on the river! - My husband and I had an amazing experience with our tour guide, Nutty. She was extremely knowledgeable and taught us a lot about Bangkok and Thai culture that we couldn’t learn from our guidebook. I highly recommend this tour if you’re looking for a quick trip on the river!
