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.

Tom showed us around and was absolutely fantastic. He shared a lot of local historical knowledge, tailored itinerary to our needs and was very engaging. My family enjoyed the day with him and learned so much. This was the highlight of our time in Bangkok and we highly recommend this tour.

I took a half day tour of the off the beaten path of Bangkok. Kat was gracious enough to meet me at the hotel I’m staying. She took me to places that were not the usual. The Klong Bang Luang (Yai Canal), Chom Thong (Poonjai Garden), Thonburi district…it was an experience that I wouldn’t have been able to do on my own. I had my share of the best lunch (at a Michelin star restaurant in Thonburi) and best desserts in town! Just be ready to shell out extra for transportation and food (appx another $100 excluding gratuity) as these are not included in the booking. Thank you Kat for showing me around!

I like the fact that this was not the usual tour. I told Kat about certain interests and she was able to deliver. She took me to places that were really very local- the canal ride in old Bangkok, the trip to a local hospital, experiencing local delicacies and markets…the experience was quite unique and bespoke

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.
