Absolutely superb trip…thoroughly enjoyed every minute, from our courteous guides to the magnificent side streets and exploration of this deeply divine cultural journey. Thank you so much for a terrific time.
Amazing tour! Tourgide made many pictures of us, very fun! Had an amazing day at different markets and the floated market.
We had a great day cycling with our super nice guides Sugar and mister P. They are so friendly, helpfull and funny. Even our 5 year old was able to ride her bike by herself. It was a great way to see Bangkok. Also the boat ride was fantastic.
Peaches is well organized and very knowledgeable. Our trip provided us with private tours of temples, historic sites, and worthwhile trips to the umbrella/train market and floating markets. We told peaches we were interested in good food and she did not disappoint. We had amazing lunches every day selecting different places including Michellin star stalls. We highly recommend her if you live food, nature, and culture.
Sugar was very helpfull and a great guide who is personally engaged to show all remarkable places and in giving explanation of Bussums. We had a very good time that we all will not forget. Thank you Sugar!!
Peaches was an exceptional and knowledgeable guide in Bangkok, thoughtfully organizing a 2 day tour of markets and temples while ensuring our comfort with plenty of hydration and convenient bathroom stops. She seamlessly coordinated with our driver, making every pick-up smooth and perfectly timed with our itinerary. Her planning and attention to detail kept our family of seven together and organized, allowing us to see everything we hoped for. Always prepared with tissues and wipes, Peaches exceeded all expectations. With short-notice, Peaches even coordinated airport transport for us. We highly recommend her and will definitely contact her when we return to Thailand!
We went for the 4th time with Sugar and asked also to have him as a guide as he is fantastic. Every time he shows us new things and it’s always a great experience. We will be back for sure and bring book with him!
Sugar is a great guide. We had a wonderfull tour. He showed us a lot and gave good and interesting information. Nice man, great sense of humor!
Our family of six, spanning ages 13 to 60, thoroughly enjoyed an unforgettable bike tour. We felt secure navigating the roads, but the real adventure was in the charming backstreets. The experience offered an exciting blend of cycling, boating, temple visits, and delicious food, all while being guided by knowledgeable hosts. It was not only informative but also incredible value. A heartfelt thanks to Sugar and Mr. P for an amazing afternoon!
