Fascinating canal trip - Loved this trip. Looked after by hidden Bangkok company well. Our guide Pear, was excellent. Superb English , friendly and so knowledgeable. It was so interesting to see how people live alongside the canal. We had 2 good stopovers seeing the artists house and also the big Buddha. Also loved seeing the monitor lizards and egrets who live alongside the canal. Used Google maps to find the location of pickup and that was fine.

Highly recommended - The guide we had- pear- was really informative and very friendly. You get to see some amazing places that perhaps you wouldn’t see if you didn’t go on this trip. It’s off the beaten track but definitely worth it. Highly recommend

Initimate tour of canal life! Loved it! - We loved everything about this tour! The scenery, the knowledgeable guide, & the small group size. The meet up spot is at a restaurant which made it convenient to buy extra drinks for the tour if you wanted. We learned a lot about the area & the people. Very intimate tour! You will not be disappointed! Big Buddha is gorgeous

Fluke is the best! - This tour takes you to parts of Bangkok I did not know existed - truly Hidden Bangkok. Fluke is excellent and I feel the awesome experience we had, apart from the temple visit etc, was Fluke’s charismatic commentary enroute. Great tour, highly recommended. And wonderful guide.

Laid back visit with Pear (Guide) - Pear was my guide and I really enjoyed her stories and information. She had the right balance between talking and giving us space to enjoy the scenery. Because of the typhoon we did not go into the main river because the locks were shut to protect the canals so instead we did 2 stops at the Artist community and Big Golden Buddha. The boat launches from a restaurant so if you arrive early enough you can get some food there before.

Amazing trip - We had Pear as a guide and she was great! I'd been on a long boat tour before but this is definitely so much better! You get time to wonder aorubg the Artist village and Thonburi which is my favourite part of Bangkok!
