This was by far one of the best tours I’ve ever been on! It was fabulous and filled with sights, food, and experiences. Very well organized and informative. I loved it and it appears everyone on our tour did as well. Our guide Nylan was outstanding!

We have been on many food tours, but this was top notch. Everywhere we stopped for food was terrific, different and tasty. The pad thai was especially delicious. P was a terrific guide, and we seamlessly moved from one place to the next. We highly recommend this tour!

What a blast we had exploring Bangkok with P! He gave us so many interesting facts & made sure we were safe & had fun. We got to experience the sights, sounds & even the tastes of the city with delicious snacks & a really good dinner. The tuktuks were soooo fun! The drivers were funny, friendly & engaging! It was incredible to see the city come alive at night with lights, energy & excitement! We arrived here on a cruise & spent the day on another tour, then later met this tuktuk tour at the train station. The meeting instructions were clear. Expique arranged a taxi transport for us at a reasonable cost to return to the port. The guide & driver stayed with us until we were safely on our way. Thanks to Expique travel!

What an incredible experience! Our family has the best time driving through Bangkok at night and exploring the most amazing food and flower markets. Our guide and drivers where the best. Such a fun way to see Bangkok especially at night went it is quite at the template and everything is lite up. We enjoyed all the food and meeting the other guests on this tour. Memories driving through the city in a tuk tuk is something we will remember forever.

Great tour. Got to try some amazing street foods that I definitely would not have tried otherwise, then full dinner at a gorgeous restaurant al fresco by the Chao Praya river. Great guide and very kind Tuk Tuk drivers.

This was hands down the highlight of our Bangkok trip. Our tour guide P was a gem of a human. Funny, accommodating, informative and spoke very clear English. The temples at night were beautiful, the food fantastic! We got into a highly sought after and famous restaurant (Thipsamai) for pad Thai. Then had the most amazing mango sticky rice that originally had a sold out sign (because it was that good!) but then come to discover they reserved portions for us. Bangkok at night from a Tuk Tuk is an experience you can’t miss.
