Traveler Reviews
Jack was our guide on this tour, and from the very first moment we felt comfortable and well taken care of. He made an effort to connect with each of us personally and showed us far more than we had expected, explaining everything in a clear and engaging way. The tour took us along the canals, offering a fascinating view of a side of Bangkok we had never seen before. We also visited a temple and learned so much about Thai culture. Throughout the tour, we had plenty of opportunities to ask our own questions, and Jack was always happy to answer them. Jack, thank you so, so much! We would book an
Had a great time with Pop! He is very funny and informative, the longtail boat was fun and we saw four lizzards in the water also on our trip! Very fun way to experience Bangkok
We really enjoyed this tour. I sent a message to confirm the start time of the tour and our guide Jacky replied right away. On the morning of the tour Jacky sent me thier picture and let is know where to find them. The tour itself was great, the boat ride was actually longer than we expected which we were happy about. We had a tour at the Big Buddha and of Wat Arun (Wat Arun entrance fee was extra, as stated in the description), we thought Jacky did a great job of explaining the different sites, and also offered to take a family picture for us.
Amazing experience with Ratima! She was such a lovely and attentive guide, always happy to answer our questions and make sure we had a great time. Everything was well organized and we really enjoyed the activity. Highly recommend!
Very nice tour guide called Jacky who told us about all the temples. Relaxing and interesting trip on the river in the long tail boat.
Guide Thai was amazing and had great knowledge on all the temples!
Jack was our guide. Nice calm experience with a good insight on the story of Bangkok and jack got lovely background informations. Chill experience!
Fabulous trip. Our guide was excellent and looked after me as I recently suffered a life changing injury. Despite my current disability she was able to organise staff and trippers alike to help me onto the boat. She also gave excellent advice with regards safest way for me to get back to the hotel given my struggles. Good couple of hours exploring the canals
Ejoyed the tour, it was a nice experience going thru the klongs and visit the big buddha. I would recommend this tour, thanks!
nice trip and really good guide Jack! we have enjoyed our trip to both Big Gold Buddha and Wat Arun! trip tok approx 2,5 hours without stress! we arrived to Wat Arun just 1,5 hour before closing which was the best time to vist the temple 🛕 God trip, nice and experienced guide - everything you need 6o enjoy your day!
Fantastic tour and very well planned. We had so much fun exploring the canals and temples, with plenty of time to walk around, take it all in, and stop at the best photo spots. Surina was a fabulous guide. She was warm, friendly, and engaging, shared interesting history, and answered all our questions. She regularly checked in to make sure everyone was having a great time. A lovely extra touch was her taking lots of photos and videos for us and sharing them afterwards. It made the day even more special. Highly recommend, especially with Surina as your guide.
We loved Surina! She was so excited during the tour to show us all the beautiful places. We mostly enjoyed the canal tour and the artist house. It gave such a calming feeling. For me I would have like to stay longer there, 20 minutes wasn’t long enough for a cup of tea or something. The Tempel Wat Arun was nice to visit, but in my opinion too long to stay there. All in all, Surina is such a kind and lovely tourguide and you really can tell that she does it with a lot of passion. She told us a lot of detailed stories from her own life in Thailand which gave us a more authentic view about the pe
