Fantastic Canal Tour – A Highlight of Our Bangkok Trip!
We had a truly wonderful experience exploring the canals of Bangkok. Our guide was excellent—very knowledgeable and engaging—and shared lots of interesting information throughout the tour. We got to see many of the city's iconic landmarks, but what made the tour really special was the chance to explore some of the more hidden and peaceful areas that most tourists don’t get to see. One of the highlights was visiting a local market on the outskirts of Bangkok, which gave us a real taste of everyday life. This tour was a perfect mix of sightseeing and authentic local culture. Highly recommended!.

More personal as it was private
This trip was worth it 👌 I liked that it was private so we got to learn a lot more and we were not rushed as we took our time. A big shout out 🙌 to our tour guide Kit as he was so professional but also friendly at the same, the tour started as soon as we left the hotel and that is a plus as he did not only focus on the areas he was supposed to show us. Also big ups to the driver 👏 (forgot her name)...

Enjoyable half day
I’m traveling solo through Bangkok and this was a wonderful way to spend a half day during a hot day and during the songkran madness. Kit was a great guide and had plenty of info to keep me entertained. The flower market was interesting and unique. Of course Wat Pho was special and seeing Wat Arun from the water is very cool but seeing a huge golden Bhudda appear in the sky from the longtail boat was awesome! Great views and a fun little adventure in BKK...

Flexible private tour
This was a very nice half day in Bangkok. We were able to adjust the schedule since we had already seen Wat Arun, so Kit took us to the Golden Mount Temple instead. Beautiful alternative with great views of the City. We then had a walking tour through the flower market and finished with the canal boat tour...

A relaxed half day option
The beauty of this private tour is having the option to go at your own pace, opt to forego a stop or two, and ask questions without affecting others. Kit was flexible with our preferences (we have been to Bangkok before and were familiar with some of the sites already) and we also appreciate our attentive driver who magically appeared whenever we needed him. We also appreciate Kit’s photos from the tour, and him sharing them with us via email. I would imagine this would also be a great kid-friendly tour given the fish feeding and monitor lizard sightings!..
