e had a private tour for our family of six built around the interests of our teenagers and tailored to our mobility needs. Tony led our tour and did a great job balancing fascinating cultural insights with hands-on food experiences that kept everyone engaged. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and wonderfully attentive — always making sure everyone was comfortable and included. The teens especially loved trying local snacks and learning the stories behind them. We came away with full stomachs, new favourites, and a deeper appreciation for the local culture. Highly recommended for families looking for an authentic and enjoyable experience!

What a wonderful evening tour with Jib and her lovely tuk tuk driver! We loved every minute of it - driving through the streets of Bangkok and seeing so many beautifully illuminated buildings and temples, walking through the food and flower markets, visiting the Buddhist temple and grounds at Wat Prayurawongsawas, eating the most delicious Pad Thai for dinner and finally dessert in Chinatown. Jib spoke great English, was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable. She selected various snacks in the street food market for us and even gave us flowers at the end of our tour. Cold water was provided in the tuk tuk too. I cannot recommend this tour, or Jib, highly enough. We chose to do a private tour, which worked well for us and was worth every penny of the cost. Thank you so much, Jib, and Expique.

An excellent trip out. Such fun and very informative. Kevin the guide was brilliant. Tasted authentic Thai food. For us the highlight was the Tuk Tuks. Well worth doing

We had a fantastic night out on this tour with a great group of people. Our driver was Kevin and he was very good – we felt very safe in his TukTuk. Overall, the experience is great, visiting different places and trying different foods – the meal in the restaurant was especially good. We visited some temples, markets, the flower market (which was amazing) and ended up in Chinatown which was just bustling with people and had a great vibe – a great place to be. At the end we were taken back to the Hotel. Overall, highly recommend this experience. Darryl & Bernie Francis, Australia

Jazzy was such a delightful and detailed tour guide! I really enjoyed all of the stops and the food selections were great. It was like killing 3 birds with one stone: we got to see multiple temples & landmarks, take a Tuk Tuk, and eat from a solid selection of market vendors! We felt like it was well worth the value and a great activity to do on your first night in Bangkok to get a lay of the land.

This was a great tour for our first day in Bangkok. Fun experience with the tuk tuks and lots of great food and information. Highly recommend.

Sensational tour - really good and very plentiful food (go hungry!!!), stunning sights, great, fun, commentary throughout from Tony and his crew of tuk tuk drivers who were all really lovely people (watching one of them quietly and discretely feeding a stray cat (he clearly does so every night) was a highlight). I love a good city tour and this was one of the best I’ve ever experienced. Real 5 stars plus

Best 4 hours spent ever. Tony and the team were amazing and took us to all the local places to eat and sightsee. Tuk tuks speeding through the streets of Bangkok was brilliant. Thanks to everyone involved.

Absolutely brilliant tour with Sasa. She was very informative and funny too. Loved the Tuk Tuk tour and food places she took us to. Would highly recommend this tour and having Sasa as your guide. Very enjoyable. Thank you

I think we would have enjoyed this more as a private tour than small group. A lot of time was spent taking photos of everyone. We made some interesting food stops although the one in China Town was very loud and crowded while we waited on our dessert. We did have dinner at the rather famous Thipsamai and people were lined up out the door waiting to eat there. The tuktuks are a rather loud way to go around the city.
