She was able to show me everything on my short layover Tour and get me to the airport on time at 100% recommend.

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.

The Legendary Kat was in fact awesome. It was like having a tour with a friend. She went at our pace, set the schedule per our tastes, and adjusted on the fly. We had a great time, and can highly recommend this tour package, and Kat in particular. For transportation and entrance fees, you need to have about B3000 to B4000 for a couple, extra for spending money, and of course tips!

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.

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.
