Good value and informative! - Miss Sonia is a kind and charming guide. We appreciated her time as she led us to various sites in Bangkok and answered all of our questions. Three hours is not really enough to see much but the tour gave us a good taste of Bangkok’s highlights.

Great night with wonderful guide - Our guide Polly was so knowledgeable, and she personalized our tour to just what we wanted. I would definitely request her again.

Fun day in Chinatown - A fantastic half day tour of Bangkok’s Chinatown, savouring its street food and having the opportunity to view and purchase material. Our fabulous guide made all this possible. Many thanks for the experience and the memories.

Bangkok Tour Guide Misadventure - We were looking for a unique tour with areas of Bangkok that would not be obvious which we outlined in our original request. We were very specific about not going to Temples. We were shown 2. Technically, one of them was a community centre with a heavy emphasis on worship. Pat, our tour guide, was over an hour early. It was clearly stated that we would be picked up from our hotel at 14.30. We happened to be in the lobby at 13.30 when he said that the tour company had mixed something up as the Jim Thompson house tour should begin by 14.00. I asked if it was possible to get food en route. He said it should be fine but later made no efforts to address that. We were clear that we had just arrived in Bangkok and had intended to leave enough time for lunch. Communication was challenging. We know that we have been to Thailand and don't speak more than a few words of Thai. However, it was obvious from our booking that we are British and it was very challenging to understand what he was saying the entire time. However, not wanting to offend him, for the 3-4 hours we politely attempted him until the 2nd Temple. His approach to transportation was haphazard. I did not realise that we were expected to pay for his transportation, across the taxi boat, sky train and other train in addition to our own. We were fortunate that we had recently taken out enough cash. The taxi boat journey included him, being unclear, on which taxi boat to take in which direction to get the boat. This was evident from him guiding us on the wrong taxi boat heading in the wrong direction initially. He did manage to rearrange the time of the staff of the Jim Thompson tour to 14.00 which we still managed to be 10 minutes late to. The tour overall, other than the Jim Thompson house, felt unstructured and he did not seem clear on the public train and sky train directions. He spouted random facts at us as we happened upon places on the various routes of transportation around Bangkok. We ended the tour earlier than he anticipated after the second Temple as at this stage the tour seemed entirely aimless. He seemed surprised at this as it took him a moment to understand that we had had enough of his guidance at this point. He did start to list all the directions we would have to take to get back to our hotel via public transport. In my opinion, his intention here was clear, namely, from his unhappy manner, showing us that he had the upper hand in this situation, attempting to bamboozle us with routes he knew we wouldn't know. Saying, “do you really think you'll remember all that?” sarcastically. Again, this is my perspective on how it ended. My husband suggested that perhaps he was expressing concern about us not being able to navigate our way back to the hotel. However, if this was the case, why did he not check that we got back okay or shared written details by WhatsApp on the route back? He didn't bank on us having the Grab app which got us back cheaply and efficiently without him. Perhaps more cheaply than if we'd paid for the 3 of us to journey back together. Based on this experience, and paying more than what we thought we would pay, for less value, neither of us would recommend this tour to anyone. In fact we would recommend anyone very much avoid this tour altogether. You are better off researching your own places of interest and navigating the efficient public transport system on your own.
