We had a fantastic experience with our tour guide Tarika. She showed us around the most interesting places around Bangkok and we learned a great deal about Thai’s traditions and customs! Would definitely recommend it to anyone who would like to get to know Bangkok and is limited in time. A perfect introduction to the city and Thai life and culture.

Wonderful experience and Waza was so helpful and pleasant to be with. She was very knowledgeable and catered our interests to the tour. We saw so much in one day but still felt it was a relaxing pace - the tuk tuk and the Royal palace were a highlight.

We had a tour with Rita who was a really good guide; showed us all the places on our Wishlist within Bangkok as well as a short course on the BKK public transport system; which helped to stay on time and travel easily between stops.

Excellent tour! Our tour guide Mr. Chatree was superb - very knowledgeable about the history of all the places and explained to us very well. He was very patient and polite with us. Thank you.

She was lovely and took care of us from minute one when we exited the airport till until we reached the airport back.
