Fabulous Private Tour - Fabulous private tour with Nancy, she was professional & knowledgeable about the history & present times of Bangkok. Nancy brought the rich culture of Bangkok through stories and added humor and laughter to the tour. She expertly navigated us through the variety of sights giving us time to wander; but, she kept us moving so as not to miss anything. We enjoyed the expert boat skipper as he whisked us through the river and the many canals. Hang on for a fantastic tour, it’s worth it.
