Tailoring each experience to your wishes by locals who love their city
Thailand’s capital is a city of contrasts, where you’ll find centuries-old village homes sandwiched between modern megamalls and historic temples just around the corner from speaker-shaking nightlife. It’s a place where any type of traveler will find something to love – and Bangkok tours with locals will help you find it. Book City Unscripted tours with locals who have spent years uncovering their hometown’s highlights and hidden gems for a travel experience you’ll never forget. Experience the spirit and soul of Thailand’s beating heart on our exciting tours with locals who show you the sides of their city only someone who lives here usually sees.
Set aside your guidebook, because Bangkok is so much more than its top travel sites. In fact, the places that truly make the city shine are those only a local insider would know about. From an iconic market culture to a growing jazz club scene, there are many different faces of Bangkok to discover on tours with locals. Of course, Bangkok’s world-famous attractions are certainly worth a visit – but simple snapshots of the local lifestyle are what makes for an unforgettable experience. Join us for Bangkok tours with locals who can’t wait to show you what makes their city special.
Want to squeeze in as many of the city’s top attractions as possible? Whether you have a full day, half a day, or just three hours to spend with us in Thailand’s vibrant capital, our tours by locals in Bangkok will help you make the most of every minute. See Bangkok’s most impressive attractions on a whirlwind experience of its must-sees – or get a glimpse into the city’s secret side on a secret gems tour of places few travelers ever see. One thing’s for sure: Our Bangkok tours with locals never let you lose out on the city’s authenticity, no matter what you choose to do.
In a city this diverse, every traveler’s Bangkok bucket list will look a little different. Maybe you’re most excited about the street food scene, and you can’t wait to slurp up a bowl of noodles at a rickety plastic table. Or maybe it’s the market culture that entices you, and you could see yourself spending hours browsing colorful bric-à-brac. That’s why our tours with locals will be fully tailored to you. Our likable guides come from all ages, backgrounds, and unique points of view – between them, we’ll find the person who shares your passions and suits your travel style.
Our tour with Tom was fantastic. It was tailored exactly to our interest and pace. Tom gave lots of historical and cultural information that helped us really appreciate what we were seeing. The only improvement would be pick-up/meeting point. The meeting address was different between Viator and City Unscripted, which caused some confusion. The meeting point was also in the other direction from our hotel from the sites on the tour, which added transit time and cost. But would still absolutely book again! A great day in Bangkok!

Kae was amazing. What a beautiful soul and also extremely knowledgeable about Bangkok area. It was our first time to Bangkok and Kae was amazing to help us find our bearings, learn the transport systems and to provide information on all the questions we had. Kae also brought our kids a little gift each at the end of the trip and some cakes from 7/11 for us to try. Would highly recommend Kae, we are very glad we spent day 1 with her. Kae met us at our hotel and was happy to continue to adjust the day as we went. It was a brilliant day and we loved Kae.

Peach took us on a six-hour tour of Bangkok, starting at the Grand Palace, then a long-tail boat trip along the river, and finishing at Wat Pho to see the Reclining Buddha. It was a fascinating day and perfectly paced, with no rushing and plenty of time to take it all in. Peach was knowledgeable, friendly and patient. Highly recommended!
