Amazing experience. Definitely enjoyed the 2 hours tour and it was a good amount of time for our group. Our guide was so knowledgeable and she truly managed to convey to us the Thai culture, their ways of living and beliefs. We left with super positive energy from the tour and highly recommend it to anyone, especially the groups that have limited time. This is a good way to get a good feeling of Bangkok in a short time period.
