Lily was an absolutely wonderful guide for our private Bangkok tour! She took our group of 6 to Wat Arun and IconSiam, and made the whole day so enjoyable. She even taught us how to speak Thai and sang along with us — such a fun and memorable touch! Lily is very thoughtful and detail-oriented, always making sure everyone in our group was comfortable and taken care of. I highly recommend Lily as a private tour guide in Bangkok. 5 stars!

The temples were amazing. Our guide went well, but we could not understand a single word that he said we are both history buffs and was a shame that we spent all day with him and just couldn’t hear him couldn’t understand him and I don’t even think he understood what we were asking him very very disappointed
Very good and helpful guid tour
We had an amazing day in Bangkok and learned so much about the history and culture. Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable and we also had an excellent driver. He was able to customize our day to our liking and also took us to a great local restaurant for lunch. Thank you for a great day. Highly recommend this tour!
Private tour with a driver and an English speaking guide. Great intro to Thai culture and history. Our guide TK was easy to understand, fun, and full of knowledge. He provided an itinerary that incorporated most of what we wanted to see and we added, for 3000baht, a private canal tour that wasn’t even on my radar. We paid for our entrance fees where necessary. TK answered most of our questions and he went at our pace for my aging parents (78 and 79 years old), which is one of the reasons for booking a private tour. Lunch was relaxing and delicious at Methavalai Sorndaeng.
A good introduction to the history of Bangkok. Undre, our tour guide, made all the difference. He was knowledgeable, respectful and kind to every member of our family. Thank you, Undre. We highly recommend this customised tour.
Very good experience, beautiful places. We received a good insight into the Thai culture thanks to our guide. He was very kind and everything was planned well. Thank you!
Very knowledgeable. Friendly team members. Worked around our groups needs for changes to itinerary and timeframe.
Booked through Viator and we had a lovely day visiting the Grand Palace, Wat Arun and Wat Pho. All three sites were beautiful and gave us a great introduction to Bangkok's history, culture and architecture. A special thank you to our guide, Khun Pook, who was warm, knowledgeable and incredibly patient throughout the tour. She explained the history and significance of each temple in a way that was easy to understand, and was always happy to answer our questions. She also helped us navigate the crowds and made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. As this was a private tour, we were able to move at a comfortable pace, take plenty of photos and spend more time at the places we enjoyed most. The arrangements were seamless from start to finish, and we never felt rushed. Thank you, Khun Pook, for making our day in Bangkok so memorable. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a personalised and enriching experience.
Wow! When I tell you that this was an amazing tour for our family group of 8! Our guide ANDRE was wonderful. He was professional, on-time, and full of knowledge. He met our group and had our tour laid out for us and also made sure we arrived to our Thai photo shoot appointment later that day. Andre took us to the Grabd Palace, boat ride to the golden Buddha and several stops in between. He was knowledgeable, professional, and funny. We definitely recommend this tour. Ask for ANDRE
We had a wonderfull time at the floating markets and a photo with the white tiger and crocodile and monkeys and the driver was so lovely and helpful
We chose a historical theme for our tour. Our guide greeted us warmly and confirmed the agenda before we got in the car. We had a driver so our guide was able to focus on sharing information including how each of the monarchs left their legacy on the kingdom. Her explanation of the evolution of Thai language was given with examples which gave context to our interaction with locals during our stay in Bangkok. She explained the evolution of religion within the country, elaborated on roles of males and females. I’d read up on Thai history so understood Thailand was never colonized. Our guide shared stories that elaborated on that fact. She did a wonderful job of setting expectations before every attraction; made sure we understood. She took many photos of our adventure. When it was time for a meal she asked questions before choosing a wonderful restaurant where we had a delicious meal and excellent service. Our guide was solicitous and considerate of our needs, frequently asking if we needed a break for anything. A highlight – the Sky Walk? I almost chickened out but our guide gave me confidence from her enthusiasm and encouragement. She filmed me walking onto the glass and took photos of us after I succeeded. When it was time to return to the hotel – being a Friday evening she made sure we understood traffic congestion would be a factor and set our expectations for time. The driver did an amazing job maneuvering through and we arrived safely at our destination. I would highly recommend this guide and our driver. It was a wonderful beautiful experience that definitely made my time in Thailand memorable and positive.

We had a wonderful guide and we definitely saw the highlights of the Palace complex and several Buddhas. This is a trip that might be better if I had been better prepared with a Top 5 of things I wanted to see. The Guide would have easily accommodated. We did pay extra for a boat ride up a canal to see a very large Buddha. We had fun on a very hot day.
We had an outstanding day with Undre. He took us to many ‘off the beaten path’ places that most tourists do not see. We visited a temple (had to take shoes off), took a canal ride off the main river, had lunch in Chinatown, and ended our 8 hours at the Sky Walk, 78 floors atop a skyscraper.
It was very. I’ve to have a private visit and do it at our pace. Pooki our guide was super nice and knowledgeable but for Thai people that can’t pronounce many words in English is difficult so his English was not the best. But we visited a lot of places at our pace and he took us to a nice place for lunch and had lots of little things to give us.
Pook was an amazing host/translator/ everything man. He really made this tour!! Also he had lots and lots of snacks and water lol, great guy!
TK was a very professional guide. He is very nice and willing to help. I strongly recommend this tour.
So glad we booked this tour! We had booked a similar tour in Bali, which had consisted of a driver taking us to places and mostly sitting in the car. This was most definitely not that. Undre was with us every step of the way. His knowledge was incredible: He told us not just the facts/history, but also the best places to stand for photos (which he took and sent to us), ways to avoid the crowds—even the locations of the nice bathrooms with AC! His love of and pride in his city and country showed throughout the tour. My wife has some mobility issues and he was tremendously helpful and caring with her. By the end of the day we were like old friends. We cannot recommend this tour highly enough!
The tour guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. Before we even met , he texted me the day before and asked where I wanted to go. Not only did he do that, but also made other recommendations for things to see. He knew so much history, it was fascinating. Also,he kept me hydrated with water. Could not have asked for better guide than Pook.
I was visiting Bangkok for just a couple of days, so it was very important for me to see as much as possible in a short amount of time. I’m glad I picked the tour with a private tour guide. My tour guide Pook was able to show me the main attractions and provide interesting facts and stories.
Andre was a warm, entertaining and knowledgeable guide. He provided background and historical context as we wove through must-see and local sites.
We had a very good day with our guide Chacha visiting Bangkok. He is friendly, knowledgeable. Highly recommended!
It was a smooth tour process. Having the dedicated driver and guide made a huge difference. The vehicle was amazing. Khun Pook was very flexible with what we wanted to do and was a great companion.
This was an incredible day, made so special by Yut. Being able to customize your day ensures you get to experience this dynamic city as you wish.
Pook (tour guide) and his driver did an outstanding job showing us the best of Bangkok. It was a perfect day, until my wife left her wallet in the car (ha ha), but Pook quickly alerted us and our driver then went out of his way to return it to our hotel. Top notch service.
Everything about the booking was smooth. The tour operators tracked our ship and met us and at the pier exit and drove us to Bangkok to meet our guide, Cha-cha. Cha-cha was wonderful. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and went out of his way to accommodate us. It was a wonderful day
We were picked up at our hotel. Great van. Absolutely superb guide!. He knew where to take the best group pictures. Took us to a great lunch spot. Easy five stars!
Excellent tour guide and driver. Highly recommended this tour. We had the best time, and saw so many things efficiently. Beautiful city.
Pook took us everywhere we wanted to go. He was very nice and knowledgeable. The driver did a very good job given the busy roads. We saw many temples. It was a very productive and interesting day.
Really enjoyed the day. Our guide was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, and got us smoothly in and out of the attractions we visited. He had lots of tops and suggestions e.g. about where to take photos from. He found is a good place to eat lunch and was very flexible with all our wishes and requests. It was great having the air conditioned car to collect us and move us around. Before the tour, booking was easy and communication was excellent.
We really enjoyed our Guide Tat Tat. He was very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly in helping us organize our day. Our driver Chai was also very friendly. Very good company to deal with
Thankakit (Pool) is a great tour guide. He was very pleasant, informative, accommodating to our special requests. We enjoyed the tour very much.
Great experience! Great guide! The guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Bangkok The private tour was very suitable for our needs
I had an amazing day with my guide Chacha. He's wonderful, gave me a lot of interesting information and organized my tour in Bangkok perfectly. I really appreciated being able to customize the tour and having plenty of time to visit each site. Our driver was also great! It's such a treat to have private transportation and not having to worry about how to move around the city. I'd recommend the tour to everyone :)
I rated this 5/5 because khanpook was amazing. A really thoughtful and genuine guy. Very knowledgeable. He took lots of photos and explained everything. We recommend him highly
Totally worth it! Kiki did an amazing job tailoring our experience and moving at the pace we like. Having a driver and tour guide take us around a new city helped make our experience joyful and stress free!
I had a wonderful experience with Yut from Bangkok Private Tours. He was incredibly knowledgeable and made the day smooth and enjoyable. I wanted to shop and have a few dresses tailored, and he handled everything with such kindness, efficiency, and genuine warmth. He made the whole day effortless, and I couldn’t have asked for better guidance
It was great having a driver and a guide. The driver would meet us further along, and we didn't have to worry about finding him. We had just arrived in Thailand so we found the accent difficult to understand.
Yut and Pat were amazing and super informative and kind. Yut really helped me get great photos. I went solo so it was really nice to have both of them help me throughout the trip. I got to customize the trip so things that I wanted to do that were maybe hole in the wall, i requested.
Kulsaya was incredible, we couldn’t have asked for a better first day in Bangkok. She was knowledgeable, accommodating, and an overall pleasure to spend the day with - we were sad when the tour ended! It was so great to spend the day with a local and learn about all the history and culture. We invited her to lunch with us and that was easily one of the best decisions we made during our whole trip because she showed us local dishes that we wouldn’t have known to order! She also knew all the spots to get great photos and takes amazing photos herself! She even gave us recommendations for the rest of our trip, which all ended up being amazing. 10/10 highly recommend Kulsaya, she is a beautiful soul and we hope to keep in touch with her beyond this trip.
We had an amazing day. Our guide Chacha was very knowledgeable and spoke English well. He had excellent suggestions of the important sites to see but was also flexible regarding our wishes of what to do. The driver was also excellent and the car was very comfortable.
What a great way to spend our first day in Bangkok! Our tour guide, Kulsaya, was amazing. She was kind, friendly, and very knowledgeable. Not only did we learn a lot about Thai culture and the history of the places we went to, she also help capture those memories with her photography skills. We invited her to join us for lunch and so glad that we did. We tried authentic Thai dishes that she recommended and they were so good. You set the itinerary which is nice. Must see places Grand Palace, Wat Paknam with the private canal ride, and Wat Pho. Kulsaya made this day fun beyond our expectations! Wish she can be our tour guide for the rest of our trip.
Kulsaya provided us with an excellent tour of Bangkok and many of the sites, including The Golden Buddha, Wat Pho and Wat Arun. Due to the passing of the Queen, we were unable to see the Grand Palace. Kulsaya was very friendly , informative and knowledgeable and she did an excellent an amazing job taking picture of us and the sites.
I’m so glad we did this private tour of Bangkok. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel. Our tour guide Chacha was friendly, knowledgeable and flexible. He took us to all the major temples, a boat ride, and a delicious local restaurant for lunch. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you don’t have a lot of time in Bangkok.
A lovely personalised tour. Our guide took us to all the places we wanted to see in Bangkok. They were insightful and so lovely to spend time with. They also recommended a great lunch spot to eat traditional Thai food. Great day out and great value. Thank you!
Lily was a very knowledgeable tour guide and our driver was very competent taking us to all of our requested sites. We were picked up at our hotel as planned and were able to complete our customized itinerary. We had a nice boat ride and then a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. All In all a great day. We learned so much from Lily about Bangkok.
Great experinece with a very skilled guide with a lot of knowledge 😊 An eventful day filled with a lot of great experiences!
Excellent company and excellent guide. I highly recommend this company for your tour. We had an excellent time. Thanks
