We booked the tour the day before. We were a family of 9 and we were looking for something that can be customized. This tour exceeded all my expectations mainly because of our guide Ja who was phenomenal. She took us on train, tuk tuk, metro. She customized our tour, was very informative and so patient when we changed our mind multiple times during the day on what we wanted to do next. Overall amazing experience and highly recommended specially if you can get Ja as your guide.

We were a family with three kids and we booked a customized tour so we could change the tour if needed according the attention span of our kids. Our guide was Alex and he was absolutely fabulous. He kept us all engaged and was very knowledgeable. He knew the best spots to take pictures. The best time to go to places to avoid crowds. We would book Alex again!

My tour guide Kwan is so good! She is really professional and helpful for me. I highly recommend. She explains really well and answer all my questions. Maximized my experience in Bangkok for just one day! We went to all the places that I want. I will need her to be my tour guide again if I go to Bangkok next time!
