Great tour, extremely...

Great tour, extremely knowledgeable guy. He took so many photos of us which are memories for a lifetime. Knows all the angles and the phone tricks. Expect 10k steps of walking but definitely worth it. A good breakfast would definitely help.

Best guide

The constant in this tour is, you will always see the same attractions. The variable which can make or break the experience is the tour guide. We had a fantastic one. Johny from Yo Hoo. Knowledgeable, personable, impressive English vocabulary and passionate about his job. Well done Johny. You made our day!

Tour good, but price not reasonable.

Tour was good, no question, but the same tour is available at getyourguide for almost half the price.

Great over of Main Sites of Bangkok.

Good overview of the 3 main sites in Bangkok by Ha. Good presentation of each one. The group was very large but she did a great job of keeping everyone organized as well as handling individual questions. Guide was a big help in what we could do after the tour. There were big crowds at each location. Tour was to start at 10 but required to check-in early. Had to wait until 10:30 to get ferry. Overall, great tour to cover main sites to see in Bangkok

Interesting Tour Through The Heart of Bangkok

My mom and I were alone with the tour guide. It was like a private tour. We really liked. The tour guide was very kind. She told us a lot of interesting stories.
