Perfect way to spend an afternoon in Bangkok - We sailed on the 3 hour tour with our guide Parisa and had a wonderful experience.
Great communication from the company after booking, making sure we knew exactly where to meet and to answer any questions.
The tour itself was the perfect length with such a lovely guide. Parisa was interesting and informative. The waterways are beautiful and peaceful with plenty to see.
We really enjoyed the experience.

Boat tour and floating market - Good communication via email leading up to the boat ride. The boat ride itself was lovely. We had 8 people. Did not feel crowded at all.

Pleasure, fun and a lot to learn - What a great and new experience in the more remote and quiet areas of „old Bangkok“. We will do it again with Mr. Tee who is a proud Thai, explaining culture, plants among many other small things one would not notice as a tourist. Mr. Ruam, the captain gave us a sense of security in the canal boat. Thank you both so much.

Subset boat ride with guide - Fantastic authentic canal ride, stopping along the way to take shots of the temoles alongside. We stopped at an orchid farm, which was very interesting, all for the cut flower markets.
The artist house-warming a very cool stop, with a definite hippy vibe, with several guitarists, and painters . Lots of thi gs to buy, and fed the catfish in the river.

Book this one - We chose to go to the floating market and the flower farm and it was great! Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable and helped us find delicious vegetarian options for lunch at the market. The canal is gorgeous and we saw amazing views and cool wildlife. It started raining on the way back in the evening and it only added to the experience. It was a fantastic way to start our trip.

Cruising Bangkok’s Canals - Really nice afternoon with Ms King and Mr Chai the captain. King was very kind, welcoming and knowledgable. If you want something more intimate and personal, I highly recommend this tour.

Fascinating scenery and insight - Three hours of fascinating scenery with Kai and the boatman. We visited a market and the art house. We could have food along the way - the local delicacies were explained to us and we sampled as we explored. We went to places off the beaten track to us - great insight. Would thoroughly recommend!

Rleaxed and a very different way to see Bangkok - I was unsure what the tour would entail but decided to join since I had nothing else to do that afternoon. Plus it was too hot to be on the roads. Joined another couple on the tour - The guide, Ms. Neung, was excellent and bubbly. We stopped at a Temple and an Orchid farm. Both were good. Being in the canal gave an entirely different view of Bangkok - green, lush, lots of birds - even saw a few monitor lizards. It was fun and relaxing
