How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
You’ll spend half a day with one of our local Bangkok hosts, who can't wait to share with you their favorite places to hang out, where to get your hands on the best food and show you their version of the city.
Whether you've been dreaming of getting lost in the endless mazes of Bangkok's famous markets and you want to put your bartering skills to the test, or you're up for a whirlwind of sights like the Grand Palace and Wat Pho Temple, your host will make it happen.
Let us know your pace and we’ll stick to it, and of course, we recommend stopping once (or twice, or thrice) along the way to feast on some local street eats or cool off with a drink.
No matter your preference or activity request, Bangkok caters to everyone and the opportunities to embrace its vibrancy, culture, and heritage are everywhere - you just need to know where to look. Don’t worry, your host will steer you in the right direction.

With only a short time in Bangkok, my friends and I decided to book a tour to get the most out of our time. We arranged a walking tour with City Unscripted Bangkok and were paired with a wonderful guide named Pakkard. She showed us her city and culture with enthusiasm and took amazing care of us. We saw so much in a short amount of time and left the experience feeling very fulfilled. We are extremely grateful to our guide, Pakkard, and City Unscripted Bangkok for their service!

Chiara was a fantastic host in Tokyo. We gave her a wish list and she did a great job trying to take us to all the places we wanted to see in the most organized way. We loved Tokyo and she had everything to do with that. We were with her for 2 1/2 days. The half day was marred by the fact that it snowed so the weather made it difficult to see what we wanted to that day. Of course, weather is just something you have to deal with on vacation and we made the best of it.

We had a walking tour of the main attractions in Bangkok. We started at the flower market , did a trip around the canal , had lunch and finished with the Gran Palace. Our guide, Buay was wonderful. Full of historical knowledge . I also wanted to buy some things and he took me to the store that had exactly what i wanted. Overall a great experience

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!

My friends and I are only spending a short time in Bangkok so we decided to take a tour hoping to make the most of our time. Pakkard was the perfect guide; knowledgeable, courteous, confident, and a delight to spend our time with. Pakkard took us in her capable hands and kindly shared her culture with us. She represented her country with pride and we learned so much from her. We walked away full of admiration and gratitude for Pakkard’s guidance!
