What 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.

    My tour guide (Kumpirada) was very knowledgeable, friendly and her passion for what she does is apparent. I was lucky in that my tour happened just before stricter covid travel policies were implemented, so it seemed I had most destinations to myself! Kumpirada gave focused explanations at all sites. Would highly recommend

    Zarut is a wonderful guide. He’s very adaptable to your interests. In my case he facilitated an emergency stop to deal with a damaged cell phone. Once that was addressed we saw a great deal of the city by tuk-tuk, train and cab. I walked my feet off. We saw temples, gardens and markets. I was very pleased with the whole experience.

    We took a 4 hour tour with Kat in bangkok. She was fantastic, we got to do everything my daughter wanted too do and more. Ate lunch at a local spot, saw the Jim Thompson house, take a ride in a Tuk Tuk and more. Kat even answered questions offline for us - she was a huge help!

    We were fortunate enough to have a spare day while on a business trip to Bangkok recently. Sopa's communication was excellent leading up to the tour and she was right on time to meet us at our hotel. Sopa took us on a boat tour of Bangkok, followed by a night market and then a trip through Chinatown. Overall I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone and Sopa in particular was outstanding!
