Fantastic Solo Travel Experience - I joined the tour as a solo traveler, and even though the number of participants was low, our guide Elena still went ahead with the tour and made me feel so welcome from the start. The tour itself was highly informative about the temples, followed by a delightful glimpse into Thai cuisine. It truly required an incredibly friendly and knowledgeable guide like Elena to make the experience so engaging and enjoyable. Her stories and insights brought the sights to life, and she shared fantastic tips for hidden gems that I later explored during my trip. The pace of the tour was perfect, and Elena was always happy to adjust and answer any questions along the way. If you’re traveling solo and looking for a guide who makes you feel part of the group—or even like a friend—Elena is the one. Highly recommend—5 stars!

Fun excursion into the real Bangkok. - The temples, travel by boats on the river, going through a non-tourist neighborhood and market, and eating in a small restaurant full of local students. It was great!

Highly recommended to see the upmost of Bangkok - Excellent tour. Our guide Elena was incredibly knowledgable and gave us fantastic time in Bangkok. We learnt about history, art, culture and much more. We were very happy with our tour guide - she was great and spoke excellent English. If you are limited with time and want to see the top attractions - this tour is for you. After the tour we understand Thailand much better and even see it in a different way. The tour was very well organized and structured, not overwhelming with information but gave a nice insight into Thai heritage. Highly recommended!

Fun and easy way to learn about Thai culture - I find really valuable to have an experienced and knowledgeable guide like Elena, to show you some of the main temples with their background and rules; you'll see how to move around and find awesome foods and markets for an authentic local experience in just a few hours. It's also recommended as a way to learn about the culture and some tips to interact respectfully and get the best out of your days in Bangkok. I feel she went the extra mile and I'm very thankful.
