    Great night with our guide Fluke! This tour is much more than a food tour as you will learn about Bangkok, enjoy a drink with a fabulous view of Wat Arun, and see the night time flower market. This tour is a must while visiting Bangkok.

  • Fabulous experience!

    This tour was wonderful! Our guide Pear was very knowledgeable and friendly and had excellent English. We learned so much about Thai history and culture from Pear. As we cruised the canal we saw water monitors and egrets and other birds and glimpsed a way of life from Bangkok of the past. It was fun to see the Giant Buddha, Artist Colony and other sites. This was one of our favorite Bangkok activities and we highly recommend the tour.

  • What a great experience!

    I absolutely loved this tour. The team does an excellent job of making the whole experience even better. The stop at the art gallery was fantastic, and seeing the Big Golden Buddha and Wat Arun along the way was truly memorable. The transition from the khlongs (canals) to the Chao Phraya River was especially interesting, almost like a mini Panama Canal. It’s a great moment for kids to observe how the water gates work. For fellow Australians, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to meet YoYo and Om, who have both lived in Australia. They were incredibly welcoming from the moment I arrived at the drop-off spot. I was early, so I had time to chat with them — loved hearing your stories about Port Macquarie and Melbourne, mates! The team is very organised; the tour starts even before you step onto the boat, with explanations about old Bangkok and its history. Our guide, Som, was excellent and shared everything we needed to know about “Hidden Bangkok.” A special thanks to Parn. I had missed my original session because I couldn’t locate the meeting point, and she along with Om kindly accommodated me in the next tour. Wonderful customer service. If you need to reach them, their number is +66811616595. In one sentence: a young, educated, passionate team who genuinely love what they do and take pride in showing the real Hidden Bangkok. Strongly recommended.

    This tour was as I’d imagined; didn’t disappoint at all and I completely recommend it. Our guide Yo-yo was very knowledgeable, and entertaining. If you can, start with the 9:00 tour as it’s cooler.
