Reviews
Our English speaking driver Mee was very professional and helpful. His mini-van was very nice and comfortable for the almost 2 hour ride to Bangkok. He brought us to our excellent guide Chacha at our first sightseeing spot in Bangkok, The Royal Palace. Chacha and Mee were flexible when we wanted to change the itinerary slightly and add a shopping stop at the MBK mall which was great! They dropped us at our hotel overnight and Mee was right on time to get us the next morning for the return trip to the port. Mee and Chacha were a great team and delivered a great experience for us. Thank you Mee and Chacha!
Our private driver and guide on Jan 21 and 22 were exceptional. Definitely recommend this service. We especially liked that we could customize the tour, and that we received an itinerary based on our desires well before the tour. We even tweaked the plans further a few weeks before as well as slightly on the second day. The communication from the company before the tour was exceptional. Based on reading previous reviews, we decided to also hire an english guide to accompany us which the company arranged for us. So glad we did. Our guide, Lee (Sataporn) provided expert guidance by selecting the highlights of the attractions we visited, giving us a lot of historic information, and taking and sharing many photos. It was like having our own professional photographer accompany us. Both our guide and the driver shared their photos and contact information via WhatsApp before the tour. During the tour, our guide frequently communicated via WhatsUp each morning and at the end of the day. Mr. Marut was very professional and an exceptional driver in very, very busy traffic. His vehicle was well equipped, comfortable, and relaxing. Both went out of their way to try to find a special souvenir I was interested in. We definitely felt spoiled by the services we received and felt it was an excellent value.
We had a great experience on our two day tour. Our driver, Mr Ood, was excellent, drove very safely and was extremely knowledgeable about negotiating the Bangkok traffic! Our guide, Sataporn (Lee) was fabulous. Our tour was tailored to exactly what we wanted to do, and we changed our minds several times. Lee was really cheerful and so interesting. Her knowledge was vast and she shared really interesting points. Would highly recommend her.
We booked a driver for two days to take us from the cruise port to Bangkok. The cruise ship annoyingly altered plans late the day before our trip but our driver Boripot was most helpful and picked us up from the new pier which was miles from the cruise terminal. The drive to Bangkok was quick and very comfortable. Boripot was very good at dropping us at good places for the visits and picking us up in very busy traffic. On the second day our driver was called’Joe’ he had very good English. He picked us up on time from our hotel and made some good recommendations on things to do. He also was very informative about places we passed as we toured in the car. Overall a great option for cruise passengers prepared to spend a night in Bangkok where good hotels are very good value. We avoided the very long commute from the cruise ship to Bangkok and saw the attractions we wanted at our own pace, in the comfort of an air conditioned car. I would recommend this experience.
What a great time with our driver and comfort. He greeted us and easy to communicate with and showed us a great time plus great food recos
This was a disaster. The driver spoke NO English. He kept asking us where we wanted to go and handed us a page of attractions. I tried to reach the local Provider who did not get back to me for three hours. At which time demanded additional charges. At 5pm I was texted saying I was refunded $85. That means the ride cost $165. I have documented each and every text exchange and expect a full refund.
This was a really good overnight trip from the cruise port to Bangkok and Ayutthaya. Our driver Mr Prassan was ready waiting for us even before the ship docked. His upfront texting was really helpful so no problems in meeting with him (as was the case consistently while we were with him). The vehicle was clean and very comfortable particularly since Bangkok is approx 2.5 hours drive plus then the touring around Bangkok itself. The trip to Ayutthaya is about 1.5 hours and then 3 hours back to the port so having a comfortable spacious vehicle is a big help as does having a safe and reliable driver like we had. Mr Passan had a suggested plan for both days but was highly flexible in accommodating our thoughts. We were able to spend as much or as little time as wanted in each site we visited. Unfortunately the Royal Palace was closed to visitors due the official mourning period for the late queen but this did not spoil our experience. Although Mr Prassan is a driver, not a guide, he was able to give us enough information at each location to make the most of the visit. As a tip you will need some cash (small notes preferably) to pay entrance fees as credit cards are not accepted at many sites. We had a great two days seeing this part of Thailand and doing it this way and booking your own accommodation saves significantly against some of the similar cruise ship organised tours.
Our guide, Ben’s, was so prompt and took us everywhere we wanted to go, even if we cross-crossed areas. We had him for 2 days, 10 hours each day and he would have stayed for us longer if we needed him to!
I’d like to say we had a fantastic experience with our driver Mr Mee. He was a lovely man who could not do enough for us. He followed the rough itinerary that my husband had suggested and although we didn’t do everything on the list that was because we were too tired; what we did do we loved and felt we got the best from our 2 day visit to Bangkok. Mr Mee spoke very good English, was a considerate and safe driver and was always ready to pick us up from wherever we were, so we had no problem with him at all and would be very pleased to have him again if we were so fortunate to do this tour again. Our past experience with Viator has always been good and this trip exceeded our expectations, so we would not hesitate to recommend you to any friends or family that wish to use your company.
The driver's english is limited. So having an translator app on your phone helps. But you should have one anyway when traveling to foreign language countries. Driver worked well with us and even changed our itinerary to go to a whole different area on the way back to our ship. Great service!
Driver was very professional and helpful. Sought our input on activities and schedule. Was very prompt and very safe driver. The driver is only a driver and is not a tour guide but does help you find and get into venues to see.
Our driver did not speak English so we had to use a translation app to communicate. He got us to where we wanted to go and he navigated traffic like a pro and we got back to the port in plenty of time.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this 2 day package from the port to a hotel in Bangkok and back to the port. That said, I would recommend adding an English-speaking guide to the package. I did communicate with Viator a month before the trip and was put in touch with the local tour company who helped me customize the itinerary and add a guide to just one day. The guide, Mr. Sawat, was amazing! He was charismatic, knowledgeable, personable, and extremely helpful. We do numerous private tours, and he is the best we have ever had!! He was well worth the small extra charge, and I really wish we had added him for both days. The driver, Mr. Guy, was a great driver, but his English was very limited and he did not accompany us to the UNESCO sight; as such, we did not get much out of it. Bottom-line, adding a guide is a must unless you speak and understand Thai!! The highlights for us were the Grand Palace and the private long-boat ride on the canals. On our own, we did a Tuk-Tuk ride to Chinatown in the evening based on our hotel concierge recommendation which was a blast!
Nice vehicle. Good communication through Whatsapp. Driver's knowledge of English was minimal so communication was limited. We were able to do what we wanted but would not recommend this service if you're not creative!
This is transportation and not a tour. Having said that the driver was very responsive using WhatsApp. He was on time and his vehicle was clean and comfortable with no strange smells or deodorizers. The vehicle seemed to be in good working order which is very important if you’re cruising. Its a 2 hour ride into Bangkok
Came on time and took us to beautiful Bangkok sites. Customizable. Got back to the cruise on time as well.
This was the best decision off of cruise ship we could make. Our driver Mr. Sak was extremely courteous and brought us around Bangkok and the Khao Kheow Open zoo (Moo Deng). DON’T miss Bangkok! It was worth the drive and we saw truly miraculous temples and palaces in an amazing culture with friendly people. Highly recommended.
Sai was an awesome guide! He was a great driver, kind, and took us to good stops. I ended up changing the itinerary to do a floating and train market instead of Ayutthaya, which worked out well. It was very easy to communicate pickup/dropoff points with Sai, and he was accommodating of requests to stop for food (and even took us to a very convenient and yummy street food market).
Great knowledgeable driver! Got us to where we wanted to go safely and efficiently! Bangkok is not an easy place to drive. Always there when we needed him! Great experience. Highly recommended
This was the most amazing experience we have had traveling as this is the first time we have ever used a private driver and guide. We were in contact with guide prior to reaching port and meeting up was seamless. We were picked up in a very comfortable Toyota forerunner type vehicle. Brand new. Our guide Khan took us everywhere we wanted to go. Ayutthaya then a wonderful Thai lunch overlooking a river then on to a Thai massage in a beautiful facility. We ended the day at the Golfen Buddha in Chinatown. We stayed at the Shanghai Mansion, which was fantastic also. Nori the driver picked us up the next morning and took us to 2 more temples before driving us back to the boat. I can not say enough about Nori and his skills as a driver with over 20 years experience. This man knew his job! He is an asset to your company. Our guide,Khan, accommodated all of our requests, was very informative, and very helpful. We are beyond pleased to have found you and will recommend you to everyone that we can! Thank you for such a pleasant, relaxing, and worry free excursion! Lisa and Justin Wong
Eating at a Michelin star reteruamt recommended by driver. Driver listened to what we wanted to see . !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mr. Bobby was fantastic! He let us customize our tour and provided top-notch service. I highly recommend them for a hassle-free two-day experience that allowed us to visit Ayutthaya, Bangkok, and Pattaya. The comfort was unmatched, from the car rides to Mr. Bobby's constant availability for us throughout.
We were able to customize the tour and get to know wat more than we expected. The tour guide was excellent. Great experience!
So you're on a cruise and you have an overnight in Bangkok, what do you do? The closest port is Laem Chabang: a 2-3 hour drive away. For our money, this was the best bang for the buck! Mr. Bobby was an excellent driver who took us to the main Wats in Ayutthaya, made a solid lunch rec, and got us to our hotel in Bangkok afterward. He picked us up the following morning to see The Grand Palace, and another spot or two we wanted to see before delivering us back to the cruise terminal on time. We highly recommend this tour!
Our driver was Mee. He picked us up on time, took us to all the sights we had picked out, as well as a couple he recommended. Mee was everything we wanted in a driver. We had a great couple of days in Bangkok, made extra special by our stay in the Mandarin Oriental I can heartily recommend this trip - we only went to Bangkok, and I think this gave us more time to experience this fantastic city.
We had a two day tour with a Mr. Me (phonetic) Prassan. He had a very comfortable and clean vehicle. He knew exactly where to take us and explained the sites to us. He brought us to local Thai restaurants on the river each day which we really enjoyed as well. He picked us up right from our ship and made sure we returned in time for departure as well. Overall a very pleasant way to tour these two cities.
