Good but could have been even better! - The walking part of the tour can be quite energy sapping due to the heat. It was 37degrees Celsius on the day of our tour!
Really enjoyed the varied transport used during the tour. The only slight negative was our guide’s spoken English which was difficult to understand. Also it would have been nice if he had shared a bit more local information as we made our way around as opposed to just focusing on the specific locations on the itinerary.

The absolutely perfect tour - especially when you have little time in Bangkok! - I highly recommend this adventure! Prior to the tour, I asked many questions about how to get to the meetup and if the start time could be adjusted due to 1/3 of our group arriving at the airport from the U.S. just 2 1/2 hrs before the scheduled tour. They graciously offered to meet us at our hotel (for a nominal addl fee) which was perfect and arranged for a party bus to our first stop! From then on - we were in good hands with our very engaging tour guide, Tom, who provided us with an up close and personal experience of the best of Bangkok - visiting temples, walking through Chinatown and the Flower Market (including gifting the women in our group with flowers :)), enjoying the most delicious Thai food at the Home Cafe, taking the subway, weaving through traffic by Tuk Tuk and traversing the canal by boat. And at the end - Tom went above and beyond by accompanying us on the Sky Train to return safely to our hotel for our evening business gathering. Thank you, Tom, for this memorable experience!

Bangkok must do experience! - We took this tour during Thailand’s hot season but it was well worth the heat! Kat was our tour guide and she was amazing. She spoke English well and had the most interesting facts and information to give us as we traveled through Bangkok. I learned a lot on this tour and had fun traveling like a local via public transport.
We kept a great pace, never felt rushed or slow and Kat knew where the good bathrooms were 😅
Make sure to cover your shoulders and knees on this tour so you can go into all of the temples, but if you forget you can rent some clothes to dress modestly for the temples.
We stopped for lunch at a great spot and I enjoyed my pad Thai.

Best of Bangkok from Local Perspective - We had Kat as our local tour guide and it was truly a memorable experience. We got lots of local insights and history - including dining at local cafe and tours across China Town, Flower Market and temples. A great walking tour for the family and young kids that includes experiencing using Bangkok buses, tuk tuk and river boat. Thank you Kat!

Best of Bangkok? I really wish it had been! - Do not waste your money on this tour! You spend 3 minutes in a Tuk Tuk, 10 minutes on a local bus and a short ride on a canal boat, the rest is walking which is great if you can understand your guide and he is engaging but our guide was more interested in marching along giving no time to take photos and enjoy the sights you are there to see. Our guide also argued with the lady on boat to get himself a free ticket (Google translate is great to hear conversations). This tour could be done for less that 1000 baht for what we experienced and we paid over 6000 baht for two people. Grab a map and do it yourself as that's what we will do tomorrow.
