Canal tour - Great experience on the canal tour. We went through the canals, to Wat Paknam and through Khlong Bang Luang, finishing at Wat Arun. Nina was a great guide. She speaks great English and is very knowledgeable. Highly recommended if you ant to see lesser known parts of Bangkok, specifically around Thonburi.

Great way to see temples! - We took the river tour to see Wat Arun and Wat Paknam on our first day in Bangkok, and it did not disappoint! Our guide Coco was excellent, and we were especially grateful to her for waiting for us as our car got us to the dock late. We learned so much from her about the temples and about Thailand. She was helpful, informative and took some great pictures for us! Experiencing the city by longboat on the river and canals was such a cool way to see the city and explore Bangkok from a unique and special POV. Would definitely recommend!

Our tour guide made our experience! - Tank is so great! He is professional, knowledgeable, and a genuinely friendly and warm person. We had a great time with him as our guide! The next time we visit or book a tour, we are going back to Tank.
If you want to have a good experience, ask for Tank!

Awesome trip - Tank was an amazing tour guide! We loved the river boat and the temples. He was very informative and it felt like a true adventure. We even saw a crocodile. He also takes a great photo

Good trip - This was an enjoyable outing. I had a good time, got some good photos. Since I had the privilege of sitting next to our guide, I was able to hear & understand the points of interest she was announcing. If I were in the front of the boat, I don’t think I would have been able to hear her over the boat engine. All in all, good trip. Thank you Coco

Disappointing - Having booked the small group tour for 6 people, I personally expected that we will be alone on the boat. I was quite surprised to find out that the small group consisted of 13 people.
The long tail boat ride was fun, although it drives on dirty, run down and partially industrial canals. Unfortunately nothing to see of those iconic canal rides where you float towards the big Buddha statue to take an iconic picture.
Arrived at the Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen temple, the guide told us that we only have 30 minutes for this temple (although advertisement said 1 hour). Our group went to the restroom first, while the tour guide went on with the other tour customers, so that we didn't have a guided tour, but explored the temple by ourselves. When parts of our group wanted to visit the emerald-glass pagoda, the tour guide told us that there was no more time left and that we had to go to the next temple now.
Arrived at the Wat Arun temple, we were told that we were not driving back in the long tail boat, but were going back by ferry. Wait what?
