Best tour in Bangkok in no time - Our guide was prompt and very knowledgeable of the touring area. She was very accommodating to our needs and made very comfortable entire tour. This trip is a must if you are visiting Bangkok and visit other area too but limited times. We only had two days in Bangkok, and this option made the us at ease of touring Bangkok.

Excellent with a get extras thrown in. - We had a fabulous time with Kat, our guide. We were picked up at our hotel and driven in a comfortable van to the floating market. Kat gave us several options for the day which allowed us to see a few places that were not even listed in our tour, like the trian market. She bought us authentic Thai treats along the way, like coconut pancakes and Mongo with sticky rice. We loved the temples and the great information as we went. I highly recommend this tour and the beautiful guide, Kat.

Definitely Worth It! - Amazing tour. It really made our Bangkok trip. You see a lot in one day; so much so we decided to not see last temple. The restaurant we went for lunch was great as well. I liked that it was a private tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and spoke English well. I highly recommend the tour!

A must do! - We loved this tour!!! I had an 18 and 15 year old with me and this was by far their favorite tour. Our tour guide, Parichat (SP?) was amazing! She really knew how to interact with my kids and keep things fresh and interesting. Everything from the coconut farm, to the markets, lunch and temples was well organized. Gave us a great view of Bangkok. This is a tour that should be on your must do list.

This tour was great. My wife and I... - <p>This tour was great. My wife and I learned more from our tour guide Tony during this tour than we could have imagined. We really enjoyed that we were able to see some real parts of Thailand that the normal tourist doesn't usually get to see like the train market and the inside of a traditional thai house. The floating market was absolutely amazing and Tony was great about showing us street food that tasted absolutely amazing. We also thought the temples were fantastic and again Tony was telling us about the history of the temples, Thailand, and Buddhism. </p> <p>Overall, the personal 1 on 1 attention from our tour guide was great especially when you see tour buses with about 50 guests and only 1 guide on some other tours. We were able to see ALOT of Bangkok's must see attractions with this tour and would definitely recommend it to anyone traveling to Bangkok.</p>
