Our guide was incredible. Very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. We were able to see some incredible sights and the tour was exactly as advertised. It was so nice having a private driver to take us from place to place and pick us up from our hotel. You can go at your own pace and our guide was extremely willing to help with photo ops! This is a great introduction to some of the amazing sights in and around Pattaya! The floating market was our favorite!

TravelGuru provided us an excellent RT transport service to Pattaya. Our driver Jo was very friendly and accommodating. He went out of his way to look for corn for my family while we enjoy our Thai lunch at a place he recommended. It was delicious from pad thai to chicken panang. The van was very spacious and comfy for the long drive to Pattaya. Outstanding service TravelGuru.

Don was my guide for the day. He sat down with me to go over all my options. I had a list of everything I wanted to do and he quickly made a plan to fit it all in. He was so helpful and kind. He even offered to take pictures for me. Would highly recommend this tour option, definitely worth it.

Our driver Eddy was great, extremely kind, and professional. Make sure you ask for him when you book it. Services/drivers are hit and miss in Thailand.

Had a very great day tour! Our guide was prompt, courteous, and so incredibly friendly and helpful-definitely recommend!
