Our guide Gwen was fantastic. Prior to the day of the tour, we sent our plans for the day to the guide company. The morning of our tour, Gwen sat down with us and finalized our plans for the day. She was always one step ahead, calling to confirm our next stop throughout the day. She recommended additional activities that we had not considered and the day ran so smoothly. Thanks to her help, we were able to see more than we expected during the day. Her English was fantastic and she was incredibly helpful in navigating public transit, learning about Thai food and culture, and helping us communicate. Gwen made the experience very enjoyable, we wouldn't want to tour Bangkok any other way. Would highly recommend!

Plein les yeux, super!

Had a great time, very educational and engaging, everything from the local market visit to the actual cooking class. Also wow, after eating my green curry, tom yum, padthai and mango sticky rice— I was so full they all came out delicious! I highly recommend this class :) Awesome experience and awesome people! Give them a ring if at the beginning you can locate the school (find the domino’s pizza in the area and make a turn at the small alley/lane way)

This was one of the highlights of my time in Thailand! I absolutely loved the full experience of shopping in the water market, cooking it under the dynamic leadership of May and then eating the scrumptious meal we made. Just outstanding!

Alex - our tour guide was amazing. Did everything we asked for and helped us getting the most of our day!

Everything as expected and wanted! We can recommend this.
