Highly recommend this canal tour - Our tour guide Tina was super sweet and caring. She made sure everyone felt comfortable. She gave us such a warm vibe and even patiently waited for members of our group who were running late. The canal tour itself was very cool and relaxing, a perfect way to see another side of Bangkok. We absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting and looking for a unique experience!

Hidden wonders of Bangkok - We had a really nice canal tour with Poppy. She was so friendly and made the trip enjoyable by sharing stories about the local life along the ancient river canal path. It was fascinating to see how people still live around the area in such a traditional way. By the late evening the weather got cooler, which made the whole experience even more relaxing. Thanks to Poppy for making our day.

A must-do tour in Thailand temples, canals, and fun with Angie - Coming to Thailand, you should not miss this tour. It was one of the highlights of my trip. I joined this tour with Angie as our guide. She was so lovely and fun. We visited temples and enjoyed a boat ride along the canals, which I really loved. Angie made everything entertaining and fun. This was my first time in Thailand, and our guide Angie left an impression on me. Thank you again for showing us such unique perspectives and places that many tourists might not normally see. I hope to meet her again on my next visit. Big thanks to Angie for guiding us through this tour and opening up so many new experiences.

Professional guide and a canal tour - Ploy was very professional and took us to several places, from the water canals to the flower market. We traveled by long-tail boat, which made the trip fun. The whole experience was chill and relaxing. Highly recommend!

Best Way to Explore Bangkok - It was truly amazing! This was my first time visiting Thailand with my wife, and we decided to book this tour. We had Angie as our guide, and she was very sweet, funny, and made everything enjoyable. The boat ride through the canals provided some great views, seeing the houses along the river. It might look simple, but for me it was really cool. There were so many fish in the river! The temples were beautiful, and Angie also took us to Pak Khlong Flower Market, which had so many various flowers. Of course, I had to buy some for my wife. Overall, our whole day was so much fun because of Angie, and we got to see so many things in just one day. I would recommend anyone visiting Thailand to experience this side of Bangkok. And for sure, book this tour you won’t be disappointed!

Private the way I prefer it - Personally, I prefer private tours over group ones, so this suited me perfectly. We were picked up at the hotel and made our way to the river. The temples were truly beautiful, and Guide Mint’s English was excellent. Pho Temple, Arun Temple, and the Flower Market each had their own unique charm and beauty.

Smooth, scenic, and stress-free - The hotel pick-up was a lifesaver in the morning. Bee kept the schedule relaxed but still got us to all the main spots. The temple visits were beautiful, especially Wat Arun. I appreciated that bottled water was included small details make a big difference on a hot day.

Hassle-free and full of highlights - From the comfy car with cool A/C to the calm boat ride, everything was spot on. Mint’s English was excellent, and she explained things in a way that made them stick. Loved walking around Wat Arun, and the pier area had a nice breeze. Cold bottled water was a nice touch in the heat.
