Kat brought us to all the places we wanted to see while being mindful of the heat and a person in our party with mobility issues. We absolutely loved Bangkok and we credit her with that. She spoke English well too.

My friend and I had one full day in Bangkok and Kat planned the perfect itinerary. She asked us our preferences and was very communicative leading up to our tour. We got to see all the major temples, try some delicious food that was off the beaten path and gave us tips for how to navigate around Bangkok and for our trip around Thailand more broadly. Would highly recommend booking this tour for a customized and delightful experience with a local!

I really had a great experience with Kat. When I bought the tour, Kat contacted me to see how we can make my experience more memorable. She sent me quite a few ideas and I did the same. Once my trip day approaches, she sent me actual plan… and it was really great. I completely agreed with all her suggestions, ideas and timings. She met me at my hotel on time and there we went. We had great conversations, and she also made sure I enjoyed my time and visited the most places during the 8 hours. She was really keen on how this tour was going to be and also coordinated all the timings and made sure we went to all locations. Thanks so much again Kat for taking the time to tour me around. Kat is a wonderful person and very caring. If you are planning to visit Bangkok in the near future, please make sure you ask for Kat… you will not be disappointed at all.

We spent two days with Kat - one day seeing the Bangkok highlights and the other doing the River Market and other markets. She is a great guide: very knowledgeable; professional; and kind. We would strongly recommend her for any tours in the area.

We were only in Bangkok for a day & a half as part of a Far East trip & as neither of us had been to this city before we thought a tour would be a good way to get to know it. Zarut met us at a metro station close to our hotel then we spent the whole afternoon with him exploring some of the main attractions of Bangkok (Wat Pho / Wat Arun). We used the water taxis to get around which was a great experience travelling like the locals do. Zarut was an excellent guide; always helpful with a good sense of humour. We had a lovely lunch in a place Zarut knew - the food was excellent. At the end of our time with Zarut he made sure we got back to part of the city our hotel was in & very kindly spoke with our other city unscripted guide we had booked for an evening trip to make sure she knew where to meet us at.
