The best thing we did in Bangkok - This is the best thing you will do in Bangkok! The guide was amazing and gave you insight into the history of Bangkok and the people who live on the canals. If you want more of a cultural experience as opposed to Bangkok’s busy streets this is a must-do.

Not trivial way to see hidden gems and get to know real Bangkok in a hot day - We had a 11:30 your with a guide who’s name is Pear. The tour was lovely but not and lovely and Pear’s stories, explanations and local’s insights. Overall the attraction is pretty interesting and we saw hidden side of Bangkok from water, also experienced artists city which is amazing and 100% worth seeing! Recommended! The best not trivial and tiresome way to see the city and hidden gems in a hot day. Guide Pear is great!

Unmissable tour in Bangkok - Hidden gem while in Bangkok. Very easy to book via WhatsApp telling you where the meeting point is with clear instructions. Pear was an exceptional tour guide. Free water provided. Very enjoyable way to see a hidden side of Bangkok you wouldn't venture to on your own. Would recommend to anyone visiting Bangkok. Thank you, Pear.

A mandatory tour for anyone wanting to understand Bangkok’s history - Hidden Bangkok - amazing tour through the old canals of Bangkok with fabulous tour guides, Ohm and Shin. Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to escape the bustle and hustle of downtown Bangkok. Loved the stops at artist village and standing Buddha.

Brilliant trip - It was an amazing trip, we loved the Artisan area and Pear was a fantastic guide. It was a shame the large Buda was covered but I am sure I will see it on my next visit.
