“Peter was extremely knowledgeable and clearly broke down what we were seeing in the palace. He put the story in history by giving background to the characters that appear regularly in the statues and paintings on the grounds. The mythology around the Thai dynasty was an engaging thriller and Peter brought it to life in the palace. It was also nice to be able to take the river ferry to the palace. This was our only chance to do so, so it was nice to have that experience through this tour.”
4-hour Bangkok night tuk-tuk tour with Pak Khlong Talat flower market, Chinatown street food, and dinner. Small groups, alcohol-free.
“Tony was wonderful! He made sure to make us feel comfortable and welcome. Loved his sense of humor and range of knowledge about Bangkok. Jack, our driver was fun and used music to bridge the language gap, he may have been the most fun part of the experience! Only thing I would change is the meeting point, was difficult to find if you’re not arriving by train; but Tony waited for us in spite of our late arrival. I wish they didn’t make the tuk tuk drivers sing the city name song, was awkward for them and us.”

Longtail boat through Bangkok canals to Big Buddha and Wat Arun. 2 hours with English guide, bottled water, Wat Pho drop-off.
“The tour guide deserves 5 stars for enthusiasm and presentation. The canals did not really have much to see. Aside from a tiny section when we got to the giant golden buddha, and then stopped at the artist center, the canals just faced the back of everyday residences, apartment buildings. Nothing worth seeing.”

“The railway market and floating market were incredible to experience. Guide was lovely and driver was safe. I could’ve skipped the dragon temple, and I wish the vehicle had larger windows for sightseeing along the drive, but overall I am happy and enjoyed this tour! The included boat ride was my personal highlight.”

“Really enjoyed yesterday's tour to Ayutthaya! Our guide (the man from the photo) was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of curios facts about Buddhist culture. I tried on a traditional Thai dress and it was so worth it! The guide took a lot of pictures of me and they are all very lovely! The tour also included lunch, and there was live music in the canteen. Great value for money!”
A half-day, guided Grand Palace and key temples loop in Bangkok with clear context, bottled water, and strict dress-code rules.
“I really enjoyed this tour and thought it was great value for the price. I did the one that started at 8:30 AM which helped avoid the hottest hours. We were able to see the Grand Palace, Wat Phra Kaew, Wat Pho, and Wat Arun. This is a walking tour and an efficient one in order to hit all the sites in a timely manner. So, it's a bit of a hustle but I still felt like I got a good taste and view of each site with a desire to revisit some of the activities or museums in the future when I have more time. Our guide was Nicky.…”
