Great tour - must do - This may have been the most interesting thing we did on our recent trip to Bangkok. Great to see parts of the city from a different perspective. Our guide was very informative and cheery. We enjoyed the stop to walk some shops and art institute.

Dream come true. Experience of a lifetime! - Great guide. Suan was perfect! Friendly. Informative. Seeing all of the homes and temples along the canal was like being in a real live National Geographic documentary.

Boat tour - Our guide, Siri, was super friendly and she speaks English very well. The tour was awesome and I recommend doing it, you’ll see Bangkok under a new light. The drive was also very good, a bit fast, but that is fun!

A good experience, a relatively good value for money experience. - Happy enough with this trip. Not overly comfortable for the older travellers but it’s short and sweet so everyone should be fine.

2ish hour Canal boat trip - Very good tour, lovely to get off the boat to see the market place, and wildlife. This is not really a guided tour as you can't hear over the boat engine
