Thukie the tour guide made the tour 5* - This was such a great way to explore highlights of Bangkok. Thukie was an amazing tour guide. She knew I wanted to try the coconut rice with mango and made sure my night included that. Another individual on the trip mentioned wanting to try bugs and she also checked that box off for him. The day I went on my excursion there happen to be a festival at a temple we were passing. We were very fortunate that Thukie stopped to let us see and experience the festival. It was a nice bonus! She definitely made the trip. Helped me negotiate my elephant pants as we walked by shops. I highly recommend her and this tour! It was a wonderful 1st day in Bangkok for me.

Fun night in Bangkok! - V was our tour guide and was a great guide! He is very knowledgeable and explained everything very well. He speaks English, so there was no language barrier. We saw lots of sites. I loved the flower market. The food was delicious. However, dinner is not at a restaurant. You sit outside at a table in China town with the rest of your group and all share multiple dishes. This did not bother us at all, but stating it in the review in case it would bother others. Thailand is HOT, so the night tour is perfect! I had a good time on this tour and would definitely recommend!

Great value and a great time. - Probably one of the best tours I have ever done. We saw in 4.5 hours what would have taken me a full day or more. The guide was fantastic not only pointing out points of interest but also sharing lots about the history of Thailand. Only two couples and each had own TukTuk. It was so helpful having a guide who knew where to eat and what to order. Hats off to local tour people who made the tour happen on the day I needed even thomm no input in the wrong date.

Family tour with 3 children - That was a great tour with Toom! He was very attentive to our 3 kids and gave us lots of information and stories about Wat Arun, the flower market, short stops at the palace and other beautiful sights in Chinatown. There we ate our way along the street and then drove back to the hotel late in the evening. There were even two tuktuks for the 5 of us, so there was room for the stroller. The drivers were very friendly and drove carefully and safely.

Good - I had so much fun riding the TukTuk. I think it is so cool that the TukTuk will pick you up in your hotel. The food was great and the tour guide is very knowledgeable about the history of Bangkok and he speaks good English. I highly recommend it.
