My reviews

It was great experience. We visited exactly what i was interested-Gem gallery and bookstores and other Bangkok famous places like park Lumphini. The guide Tom was very knowledgeable and I learn many things about Bangkok and Thailand in general from him.He was also very friendly and help me throughout the journey. We also used Skytrain and the subway of Bangkok which was new and very interesting for me. Overall it was great experience.
