Phenomenal!! - Wow!!! What an incredibly fun way to experience Bangkok with children. We had so much fun, from feeding terrapins in a 200 year old temple, to visiting stunning temples, delicious sampling of numerous stalls at the food market, tuk tuk journeys and the colourful and vast flower market. China town was a sensory explosion! And dinner at the riverside restaurant was divine! I only wished I could fit more food in! Lotus flower folding, photography, laughing and joking. We had a superb evening, and our guide Jib (pronounced Cheep) was phenomenal. I couldn’t recommend this more.

Get the Nylah tour! - Stellar execution by Nylah and her team from start to finish.
Learned a bit about Thai culture.
Encountered where most of the locals are.
Tuk Tuk ride is a definite must.
You get some take-away gifts too.
Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and craving to learn more.
We appreciate that the tour is a mix of everything: history, temples, and food, both of which include street food and dinner by the river. This is our very first tour in Thailand and it's a great snippet of its rich history and culture that also is reflected in its cuisine.
Happy Birthday to the King RamaX

Best way to experience Bangkok is by night on a Tuk-Tuk! - Jib our guide was fantastic - shared a treasure trove of information on the history and about the culture. I loved travelling in the Tuk-Tuk and the drivers were so pleasant.

Brilliant whistle stop food tour of Bangkok - Fantastic tour. Food we tried was amazing and so much of it! We tried food we would never have tried on our own. Our guide Kevin was fantastic, he was warm, knowledgeable, funny and great company. Tuk tuk drivers too were lovely, even sang us a song! Best way to experience Bangkok if you are only there for a short time.

Phenomal Bangkok by Tuk Tuk - After a week in Vietnam and Thailand this is hands down our favorite experience. It’s just a great way to orient yourself to Bangkok and doing so at night brings a unique perspective to any city. Whipping around in the tuk tuks brought an added thrill. The food, sites and fun are not to be missed. Special shout out to the guides and tuk tuk drivers who brought an authentic love for Thailand to the excursion.

Do not hesitate - fabulous night tour - Absolutely fantastic! One of the best tours we have done. Nylah was 5 star, and made the night interesting, fun and more like looking around Bangkok with a friend. Our driver was welcoming and did an excellent job. Thankyou all.

Best tour of our holiday - This was the best tour on our holiday. Jip was our amazing tour guide and was absolutely brilliant with us. She had a very good knowledge of the sites we visited and was such a lovely lady.
We were a group of 2 adults and 2 teenagers, so we were put into 2 tuk tuks. First, we went to a small food market where we were given 5 different foods to try. There was something for every palate.
We then went to the temple. Luckily, we got there early enough to feed the turtles some watermelon before the lady had gone home for the night. We then went into the main temple and were given an explanation of how the temple was built.
The next stop was the flower market. It was an amazing array of flowers and all so cheap. It's a shame I couldn't take them all home.
Then, onto a restaurant where we had a sit-down meal with 2 starters and 4 mains with rice. Drinks were also included.
The next stop was a stop at the giant swing for a photo.
The last stop was a visit to Chinatown. This was really busy and we were warned to look after our belongings. Here, we tried sticky rice, which we just about had room for half the portion each. It was absolutely gorgeous, though.
I can't recommend this tour enough and if you are lucky enough to get Jip, then you will have an amazing night.

Fun Tuk Tuk tour, be cautious if you have weak stomachs and the toliets - Here's a review based on your experience:

**Tuk Tuk Tour Review**
We had a fantastic tuk tuk experience, despite getting sick, likely from trying some local foods. The tour was very local, taking us through vibrant markets and street food stalls. Unfortunately, we think it was here that we tried something that didn't agree with us.
The tuk tuk ride itself was enjoyable, and our guides, Jo Jo and Noi, were excellent. They shared a lot of history and gave us a glimpse into local life. We visited places where toilets didn't have toilet paper, so it's a good idea to bring your own along with napkins, as these aren't provided.
We spent plenty of time on the tuk tuk, with our guide taking us around various spots. Since it was a private tour, we could customize it a bit based on our preferences. We were provided with water, which we could store on the tuk tuk.
Our hotel, Hyatt Bangkok Sukhumvit, was conveniently close to the end location near Chinatown, and we were dropped off there at the end of the tour. Overall, it was a great way to see a different side of Bangkok, away from the malls and typical tourist spots.
