My reviews

It made it very easy to see the main attractions that we wanted. Tom is very knowledgeable, kind, friendly and helpful. We really wouldn’t have got to see and learn in the amount of time by ourselves. Bangkok is a wonderful place. He arrived before the booked time to meet us and stayed even later than we booked him for. Thanks Tom!

Tom was incredible. We had a very short window of time and he fit in soooo much. The reclining Buddha, long tail boat ride and golden palace in just a few hours. Thank you!!!!

He was smart, very friendly, knowledgable of the areas and shared his homeland with us in a very personal way. He designed our tour around our needs and understood what we desired to see and do. He made sure we were rested when needed and entertained when appropriate, while displaying a professional attitude about the city and country. Without his tour, we would not have wanted to see Bangkok again, but are already planning our next visit which will begin with another tour having Tom as our guide.

I highly recommend this tour to foodies and everyone first visiting Thailand. I learned so much about Thai food. I enjoyed everything we ate and the places we went to. Their team communicated well before the tour. The tuk tuk ride was a good experience. I was so full at the end of the tour. Kat was a great tour guide!
