An afternoon tour in Bangkok - Elena did a wonderful job showing me the temples of Bangkok and enthusiastically telling me the history of her country. I signed up for a group tour but I was the only one on the tour, so it ended up being a private tour! I appreciated Elena introducing me to different street food, taking me on a tuk tuk and walking me to the subway station at the end to help me navigate my way back to my hotel.

Highest recommendation from someone who has been to Thailand multiple times. - Our guide Rio was excellent. It was well worth the money spent and I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a wonderful experience in Bangkok. It was my 17 year old son’s first time in Thailand and it was great for him to experience this tour.

Extraordinary Elena - Elena really explained the history of The Grand Palace. There was a slight mix-up with our meeting point, but once we got going she made sure we had a memorable tour. The final touch was the memorable local restaurant she showed us for lunch. I’ll never forget that duck entree. I can still taste the gravy.🤩.
