My wife and I have been to Thailand in the recent past and booked a number of tours. This tour would rate as one of the best. Why ?? Because our tour guide (Muay) was excellent; very knowledgeable, friendly, personable and easily approachable. A 5 STAR RATING is appropriate. Will book any tour with Muay in the future

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!!!!

The tour was well-organized, and our guide was both knowledgeable and enthusiastic, sharing fascinating insights about the history, culture, and hidden gems of the area. We explored vibrant markets, tasted delicious street food like dim sum. The atmosphere was lively, with colorful lanterns, bustling streets, and the aroma of fresh cooking filling the air. The guide also took us to lesser-known alleys where we discovered authentic local shops and traditional stores. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience the rich culture and flavors of Chinatown in Bangkok!

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!

Personalized and flexible tour! Tom was great in helping to arrange our day to experience the top highlights of Bangkok. We have used city unscripted in other cities and were just as pleased with this experience. Tom was receptive to our input and being able to flex as needed in our day.
