Truly an excellent and well thought out tour that was filled with surprises at every turn. Jib was a friendly and knowledgeable guide who could answer any question I could come with. Yes, it’s more expensive than some of the other tours you might see, but in my eyes, it was worth it.

Absolutely fabulous experience. I would suggest doing this on the first day here. Went to all the checklist places. Nun, the local guide was just great.

I've never been to Bangkok and was looking for a wide-ranging general tour of the city. This tour does exactly that and packs in quite a bit in almost 4 hours. Our tour guide Kevin and all the tuktuk drivers were amazing. They manage everything beautifully, from handling dietary requests, to providing really interesting historical context, and even the details such as providing plenty of cold water and towels to clean up after dinner. The drop off back at my hotel at the end was an unexpected bonus. Explique, the tour operator, provided clear and detailed pre-communication and went above and beyond expectations. I'd do another tour with them anytime.

A truly excellent experience with a first class guide (Duk, I hope I got the spelling right?) who really went over and above to make the experience a night to remember for us and our 3yr old daughter. She looked after everything and gave us an amazing tour, ordering food we would never have thought to ourselves, explaining it’s origins and taking us on a tour of a temple that we would never have done by ourselves (feeding the turtles was a particular highlight for my daughter!). The tuktuk driver was also very kind and considerate. 5 five stars.

We had a fun time on the Tuk Tuk tour in Bangkok — the ride was exciting, and both the guide and driver were very friendly and helpful. However, the stops felt too short, so we didn’t really get a chance to explore or look around. The only food we got to try was what was provided, with no time to buy or choose anything on our own. Overall, it was enjoyable but a bit too rushed.

Perfect beginning of your visit adventure. Great tour to give you a taste of Bangkok at night. We learned so many things about what else we wanted to do and where else you want to go the rest of the week. Our guide was fun and knowledgeable and our drivers friendly and confident.
