Ida was an excellent guide. Kept us fully informed beforehand and made sure she understood what we would like to do. We are not adventurous travellers so having Ida escort us on the subway, skytrain, through the markets, Chinatown & Bangkok nightlife was a great stress free experience for us. Ida was friendly, fun & charming from the outset. Thank you

We toured at our own pace and saw some great things in Bangkok. Our tour guide was wonderful! Highly recommend doing a private tour.

Zarood did a fantastic job showing us around and taking us to a restaurant he used to visit many times with his family! We could completely tailor the trip according to our wishes.
