Recommended it - Definitely worth trying! I had a wonderful experience with our guide, Pakkare. If your schedule allows, I highly recommend joining this half-day tour after visiting the temples.

A great afternoon tour of parts of the city you are unlikely to bump into. - We went of this tour on a Sunday with our guide PK, what a wonderful experience, the tuk tuk was clean and tidy, the trip was informative and went to parts of the city we wouldn't have otherwise visited. PK was the best part of the tour, she spoke good English and answered all of our questions(of which there were many) she showed us the local foods and explained how they were made and where they came from. We had an issue with our card and had trouble at the MRT, she sorted it all with the staff and got us the token we needed to get back to the hotel. %100 recommended, we have been in Thailand for 6 weeks but this trip would also suit those who are fresh off the plane and are new to the city

Awesome guide PK - We had a great experience on a tuk-tuk tour with our guide, PK. She is very knowledgeable and was very patient in answering all our questions. The tour was well planned, and we experienced so many little things within just a few hours—we saw markets, tried some delicious Thai desserts, and travelled by electric tuk-tuk, which is an adventure on its own. We also rode an express boat.
If you’re new to Bangkok and want to learn as much as possible about the city and the country in general, this is a great tour to do. Plus, PK was so kind to us—she even helped us figure out how to get into the metro and bought us a ticket because we were so disorganized. That’s just an extra level of care and excellence! Thank you, PK!! 🫶

Great afternoon in Bangkok! - PK (I'm sorry, I don't know how to spell it) was so warm and friendly, and very informative. It was great to see parts of Bangkok we would have missed otherwise. The boat ride was a lot of fun and the food was delicious. Khob khun ka!

If you only have a very short time in the city, this is the perfect way to see a huge amount in a short time - So glad we did this tour. Got to see way more of Bangkok than we had intended to and having someone to give cultural and historical context to what we were seeing really made the sight seeing much better. Having someone to take care of transport and food and everything made the whole experience easy even when navigating such a hectic city.

Highly recommend 🙌 - First time visiting Thailand as a solo traveler. I was extremely surprised to find I was the only participant for the afternoon excursion. My guide Art was absolutely wonderful!!! He was extremely knowledgeable, answered all of my questions, and was so kind.
The EV Tuk Tuk was a great way to explore different parts of Bangkok in the oppressive heat. We also took a quick river ride to visit the very cool flower market that is open 24 hrs.
My favorite spots included the Wang Lang market and Ban Bu community.
Art even made an extra stop to highlight a local temple where imagery was used in the White Lotus. Such a fun fact!!!
Thank you Art for sharing a wonderful day and showcasing some amazing parts of your country’s rich culture 🙏😊🙏😊

Fantastic Day Adventure by Tuk tuk! - Three weeks ago I took the Intrepid Urban Adventures Bangkok “Old Bangkok Temples and Markets by Tuk-Tuk” tour. I was surprised to find that I was the only booking for the morning. I promptly met my wonderful guide Ait at the meeting point and he brought us to our tuktuk driver that shuttled us throughout the morning. Ait was a newer guide but I thought he was great! He spoke fair English and we had some interesting conversation about the area, the world and beyond. Wat Pho the Reclining Buddha and the Mont temple are a must see. We also got to see children practicing their instruments and traditional dance at the temple. We visited the flower market and he folded me a flower (pic). He even bought me an iced latte in the marketplace when I was sweating thru my shirt. If you are in Bangkok for a day or two, this is an enjoyable 4 hour tour. Thank you, Ait! Sawadi ka! ขอบคุณ 🙏 Susannah

Enjoyed the tour but the weather was HOT. - I felt very taken care of and I saw lots of things. PK was my guide and made sure to give lots of info. The boat ferry would have been very unnerving if I had done it myself.
