Amazing experience - We had an amazing time exploring the riverside in Bangkok! It was such a unique and beautiful experience, and discovering everything felt truly special. Our guide, JK, made it even better—he was incredibly knowledgeable and so funny. We had a fantastic time and highly recommend trying this experience! Big thanks to the whole team! 🩷

Great local experience! - It’s a great experience for anyone who wants to see local river life up close. All the staff we encountered were welcoming and helpful. Our guide, TK, was very informative and went out of the way to help us get to our next stop. I have no complaints about the tour (just sad that we didn’t see monitor lizards, but that’s completely out of their control!) and I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to appreciate Bangkok from a different perspective.

Hidden Bangkok Canal tour - Our guide Yoyo was very informative and a great tour guide. Well worth the cost. We've been coming to Thailand for many years and this is one of the best city tours we have been on.

Great way to see another side of Bangkok - Awesome way to see a different side of Bangkok. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. So glad we chose a guided tour which we would highly recommend. So many other boats came flying past where the people looked so board and had no idea what they were looking at. Can thoroughly recommend this tour, we had a great time.

Must do activity in Bangkok!!! - This is a must do activity to really understand the canals and history in Bangkok. The canal boats were fun and colorful. The guide was so knowledgeable about history and was so enthusiastic about what she was doing. It was nice seeing someone enjoying what they do. Plus, she was cute with an adorable smile and wish I asked some non related tour questions. Highly recommend!!!

Bangkok Hidden Tours - really worth a try - I took my family on a Hidden Bangkok Tour and it was great. We got to see a lot of things which we normally wouldn't see. Its very interesting to see the old parts of Thailand not from a traffic jam :) It was really kid friendly too. The girls (5 & 10) saw some really large monitor lizards and fed some crazy catfish! We will definitely go again and try a different route. Would really like to try the food tour or next time spend more time at the artist village.
