This was so fun. We enjoyed ourselves and had a blast in the Tuk Tuks. Would highly recommend this to see the city at night. The food was good also.

Good amount of food. Jib was friendly and informative, not only did we visit a variety of food markets and restaurants we also called a temple, fed turtles and some monuments of the city. A perfect mix of culture, food and fun. It was hard to find the meeting point, but the guide was helpful when we called.

Jib was a great guide, saw so much in 4 hours, lots of history, visited temples, fabulous food stops, flower markets. Would never have seen as much of the city on our own, great way to see it. Would just like to point out meeting place for start of tour is actually on the bridge for the access to the railway station.

This was one of the highlights of our trip, Yaz the tour guide was fantastic as were the experienced tuk tuk drivers. Very much appreciated them tweaking the itinerary in light of our young son being part of the travelling party & likewise the lift back to our hotel afterwards!

Me and my family had the best time on this tour! There were 6 of us and we opted to book the private tour. “P” was our tour guide and he was so friendly, informative, and his English was great. It was the perfect amount of history, sightseeing, and food. We were absolutely stuffed by the end of the tour and took our mango sticky rice home with us. The tuk tuks go pretty fast but we never felt unsafe and all three of the drivers were awesome. This was a great way to see the city and experience some of the local food and culture!

This tour was truly amazing! You cannot come to Bangkok and not book this tour! This tour mixes food and temples all in one and we ended in China Town. Our Tour Guide Net was simply FANTASTIC! Next time I’m in Bangkok I’m going to do it again and I hope I get to have her as a my guide again!

This was an amazing adventure - learnt so much, the guide was amazing; the tuk tuk travel was awesome and we got to see and experience things we would probably not have got to on our own. Highly recommend!

Nice evening in Bangkok with new friends. Good food, fun ride on tuk tuk. Discovered new venues and got safe back in hotel for free.
