Highlights
  • The Grand Palace - The Grand Palace and the Emerald Buddha Temple were built together with the founding of Bangkok in 1782.

The architectural plan of this palace was almost identical in every detail to the royal palace of the former capital of Ayutthaya (about 600 years ago) because the King wanted to recreate the glory of the city as it was in the past. So it was completely first built in traditional Thai style.

However, at various periods, the influences from other nations affected the architecture in Thailand in different reigns such as the Chinese elements introduced by King Rama 3 in the early 19th century and the western building style introduced by King Rama 5 in the late 19th century.

So you will see a great mixture of European, Chinese and Thai architectural style. In addition, the Emerald Buddha image is the most important Buddha image in Thailand.

Private tour of BKK - We had a fantastic day with Katie who is very knowledgeable on all things BKK. We visited the Grand Palace and Reclining Buddha and a particular highlight being a trip around the canals. We finished off at the MBK mall which the kids loved.

Just superb - Our guide Lily was very helpful when planning where to visit. When on site, she took us to both "mainstream" and interesting nooks and corners other visitors would be unlikely to see. Then she was full of knowledge, but also honest when she wasn't sure about anything we asked. We decided to use public transport and Lily helped us understand it, knowledge which smoothed our travel for the rest of our visit. Highly recommended!!!

Five star service! - Noc is simply amazing! Right from the first point of contact on messenger, she was prompt with her responses and ever so helpful. We spent two days with her and had the time of our lives. She is very knowledgeable on the history and takes amazing photos too. I felt we became friends in the short time we spent with her. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone that needs a guide in Bangkok. Keep up the amazing work Noc!

Fabulous tour! - I am travelling with my 9 year old son and was so nervous coming to Bangkok on my own with him so I booked a tour. Katie was our guide and expertly showed us the main attractions. We had a fabulous day with her. I would definitely recommend a tour with Katie!

Katie knows what you want - We were very fortunate to have Katie guide us around the city of Bankok. She added much value to our daytrip to see the highlights. Humorous, full of energy, flexible when needed, knows the good food places, managing our family pictures in crowded spots, working with dedication to keep the long hot day enjoyable for everyone. She really took care of the entire family with passion and fun. We would ask Katie to be our guide on a next visit. Katie thanks again!

Highly Recommend Tour Guide - We had an incredible day exploring Bangkok with Katie, whose expertise and enthusiasm made our tour unforgettable. Our itinerary included the Maeklong Train Market, the Floating Market, and the Reclining Buddha, each stop perfectly timed and thoroughly enjoyable. Starting with the Maeklong Train Market, Katie skillfully guided us through the bustling stalls and ensured we had the best spot to witness the unique spectacle of the train passing through. Their detailed explanations about the market’s history and daily operations were fascinating, adding depth to the experience. Next, we ventured to the Floating Market. Katie navigated us through the lively waterways, introducing us to local vendors and allowing us to taste a variety of delicious Thai foods. Our final destination was the magnificent Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho. Katie provided a wealth of knowledge about the temple’s history, architecture, and the significance of the Reclining Buddha statue. Their storytelling brought the site to life, making our visit both educational and awe-inspiring. Throughout the tour, Katie was attentive, accommodating, and incredibly personable. They ensured our comfort and engagement at every step, making the day both seamless and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a tour guide in Bangkok who will enhance your experience with their deep knowledge, warm personality, and thoughtful approach, I highly recommend Katie.

Incredible Bangkok sights- floating market, railway market, canal by long boat. 😊 - We had the most incredible day with Noc! She was so kind to our family especially our 2 boys aged 9 and 6. Her and her driver picked us up from our hotel as planned and we visited the railway market and floating market in the morning. Both where incredible! We then came back to Bangkok and hopped on a longboat to see the canals. It was amazing to see all the local houses right next to wonderful temples. We saw the highest Buddha and returned to the pier just at sunset to see the temple of dawn! It was a busy day and we ticked off all our must do things in 1 day! The whole day was something we will remember forever. Nok stayed with us during the markets, showing us where to go and finding the best spots for photos and views! She advised us on delicious local foods (and what to avoid also). We wouldn’t have managed to do as much in 1 day without having a guide. Our kids had the best day and loved spending time with Nok!

Amazing sightseeing in Bangkok - We met Lin at our hotel, super prompt. We then set off on our private tour around local landmarks including all forms of local transportation. Highlights were the longboat private ride and local lunch. Highly recommend you book with Lin

Poppy for the win - Poppy was THE best guide! She was very knowledgeable, considerate, and was a joy to go around Bangkok with. She took us to a local restaurant for lunch that had the freshest seafood and so tasty! Would recommend her to anyone going to Bangkok. You won’t regret your time with Poppy.
