A fresh perspective - I loved my afternoon with Piyaporn. It was like visiting a good friend in their neighborhood. From the well traveled Arun Wat, through the many markets and trying local food, and finishing with a quiet & off the beaten track neighborhood tour, it all happened with a natural flow full of great information. There were so many things to see and talk about, all making this a very personal experience. Piyaporn was so easy to talk with and she brims with Thai history and lots of little known facts.

Tuangtip as your guide for a 4 hour private highlight tour of Bangkok will be one of your best decisions on holiday! - WOW ! Best idea ever to have a 3-4 hour tour with Tuangtip. We had an awesome time condensing a bunch of Bangkok highlights into a short time all made easy by Tai (Tuangtip) making things incredibly smooth and easy! She is such a lovely person, always smiling and helpful and ready for a giggle. It was a true highlight to spend time with her who answered our questions and explained all manner of things as we simply walked by and realised how much we could have missed out on if we were simply walking the streets by ourselves. When we started considering The "must sees" in Bangkok, we struggled to understand how to merge them together in a logical manner given how spread out over the city they are. Tai simply connected the dots either by us jumping with her on a local bus, using a tuk tuk, or walking through side streets as short cuts. She made plans up for us as we went seeing what interested us. We incorporated impressive temples, monks, flower markets, food markets, tried local vendors stalls food and even spontaneously invited to a stall owners own home to see her speciality being made by her mum. Tai negotiated and bought our purchases, sorted necessary transport and venue access tickets and paid for them etc. which was incredibly helpful. We had a magical time. I highly recommend anyone books with her for an experience that will be mot memorable for every possible great reason.

A knowledgeable guide excellent English skills - Our tour with Tony was truly enjoyable. He was friendly, funny, and well-informed. If there was something you were curious about, Tony had the answer. One thing that really impressed us was his excellent English skills, which were the clearest we encountered in Thailand. We requested to visit a temple not on the program and Tony was flexible and made it happen, even extending the tour to accommodate our wishes. After the tour, he accompanied us to a restaurant and patiently helped us with our order. We would definitely choose to tour with Tony again!

Excellent tour of Bangkok's hidden gems - With only one day in Bangkok, we needed to find a tour that help us understand the capital city and Thai culture a little bit better. Akarin, our tour guide was the perfect fit. With him, we walked around Chinatown, Little India, the flower market and Wat Arun. Through his stories and anecdotes, we learned about Thailand, its cultural links to China and India, and the importance of Buddhism in Thai culture. We had a great immersive tour and a formidable introduction to Bangkok. Thank you, Akarin!

Amazing tour with Tony! - We booked Tony for our very first day in Bangkok and I am so glad we did. Tony gave us an amazing view into local Bangkok life and a fun overview of some Bangkok history! Tony was extremely accommodating and always was checking in on us and making sure we had a say in the things we did. He stopped many times to get us snacks and water. He helped us order some mango sticky rice that we were craving. Tony provided us with a lot of history in a really fun and engaging way. We had a lot of great laughs with Tony. He is very knowledgeable and kind. 3 hours felt like the perfect length of time especially given the heat. I would book Tony every time I am in Bangkok. 100% recommend, Thank you Tony!

Temples and Flowers and hot weather - The flower market was fantastic and so unexpected! And the temple decorated with broken China was spectacular. It was a holiday and many people were dressed in historical dress making it even nicer.

Best Time to Visit Bangkok Post Pandemic - We arrived Bangkok at the end of Pandemic. Most of the places were closed but the guide was so happy we were there. He took us to the golden temple and helped us get our PCR tests from a local clinic so we can depart the following day. We enjoyed the tour as it wasn't busy.

A great introduction to locals - This was a great easy walking tour. We went through the local flower Ang general markets. A great way to see a little bit of local life. Our guide Tuangtip (Tai) was very knowledgeable and exposed us to several local foods. This was an amazing 3 hour experience.

Well worth it - Bangkok can be a bit intimidating at first to foreigners with its endless skyscrapers, luxury malls and numerous temples it’s hard to know how best to tackle it. Answer- ask Artty! He took us out around his own neighbourhood for a nice relaxed and well- rounded tour we all enjoyed, 10 year old and 12 year old included. He gave us lots of information about Bangkok, Thai culture and history and showed us different types of architecture, pointing out interesting landmarks and little gems such as the best street food (rotis were delicious) rooftop bars, coffee shops and art galleries. We ended by visiting a temple with a great story attached- ask Artty, he tells it well…. Definitely book at beginning not end of your stay as you will want to revisit some of these spots. Highly recommend.
