Fun and easy way to learn about Thai culture - I find really valuable to have an experienced and knowledgeable guide like Elena, to show you some of the main temples with their background and rules; you'll see how to move around and find awesome foods and markets for an authentic local experience in just a few hours. It's also recommended as a way to learn about the culture and some tips to interact respectfully and get the best out of your days in Bangkok. I feel she went the extra mile and I'm very thankful.

Must do tour in Bangkok with local guides. - 100% recommended tour with local guides. Elena and Poon very friendly and attentive to all our questions. The tour lasted about 2.5 hours. It is advisable to make the last of the day in the evening as there are fewer people in the places of visit.

Perfect tour - Elena has been very kind to us. Being a local, it not only showed us the most touristic and emblematic part of the city, but also made us aware of the culture and idiosyncrasies of the locals.
