Felt very uncomfortable the entire time. Really not worth the money. The tour description said it would include a Tuk tuk ride and a night market, nether of which it did. He walked us down very dark alleys where no one else was.

Nonglak was a great guide! She tailored the evening to allow us to explore the street food scene, rooftop bars and even built in a visit to the famous Jay Fai. Nonglak is knowledgeable, enthusiastic and curious... great fun!
We started with some street food and then went to the supermarket of Bangkok markets - very modern, clean and spacious. We tasted a variety of fruits and then watched as they prepared our chicken satay and papaya salad. Everything was delicious. Piyaporn explained about many different ingredients and the variations among different regions of Thai cooking. We then went across the street to a busy street market for dessert. A great tour for foodies like us and Piyaporn was a great guide.
Jinnicha is a very nice, helpful, communicative and friendly guide. Recommended tour and local guide.
We had a wonderful evening being shown round ‘the real Bangkok’ Being taken to different places to try the local food that the locals eat. Jinnicha was a brilliant host. Explaining things to us, and tailoring the evening to our needs and wishes. Would highly recommend jinnicha and her tour.
Maneerat (Nui) was such a lovely guide! From the beginning of our tour, it felt like my mum and I had just caught up with a friend, not a tour guide. Nui was so friendly, funny, extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions with detail. She showed us delicious street food that we may not have had the chance to try without her and helped us navigate our way through some very fun and busy parts of the area -we felt like true locals! I would recommend Nui to anyone who wants a tour to remember! 10/10, thank you so much Nui! ❤️ ***note we were there in February 2020***
Maneerat was a friendly, knowledgable and awesome tour guide who made our experience so much more special
Donald was a perfect guide. We were running late and Donald didn't mind!! The best thing about the experience was that Donald listened to us right from the start and customised the tour as we went to suit our needs! He remembered little things about my partner's tastes and ordered special dishes just for her to accommodate. We already discussed and we will definitely book Donald for a custom longer tour when we return to Bangkok with our friends. Truly made our first day perfect and also taught us slot of little tricks that has enhanced our Thailand experience since. Thankyou!
Kumlar is a beautiful and friendly person who was a wonderful guide and was able to provide great local insight and knowledge. She is a fantastic ambassador for her country. Highly recommended. The tour gave a great taste of Bangkok at night - a good time to explore at this hot time of year (March 2019)
Piyaporn showed us around a couple markets in Bangkok and had us try many foods that were all delicious. One of the stands that we were meant to try had closed early, so she found an alternative that worked well for us! We were very full and happy at the end of the tour and even went back to purchase so things she pointed out. It was great! edit: we actually travelled in December of 2018, pre-pandemic
We had a very nice and tasty afternoon with Piyaporn. She knows her way around the market and food stands so she can bring you the most authentic and delicious version of local food (we booked the tasting tour with her). She is polite and curious, making the tour not only tasty but also fun. Trip from March 2019
Despite a rainy, nasty day we had a great time. We sampled a lot of good street food including some things that I hadn't seen anywhere else. Besides the great foods we had from street stalls she also took us to a local market which had some great fruits we've never seen and we had food from a number of vendors there as well. All great and we were very happy with what we had. Was good to have a local that was able to guide us to the best options in a sea of different choices. And without a local guide we would have never tried local fruits like mangosteens or even know how to properly eat them.
My wife and I wasted no time when we arrived in Bangkok. We met up with Maneerat a few short hours after we landed and this tour is exactly what we needed. Nui took us around to some highlights around the city including a roof top bar where we had a few refreshments and enjoyed the view Thank you Nui for starting our visit off right!!!!
Our guide Sarah was amazing met us on time and, kept in contact showed us around some interesting local areas sampling some street food along the way, a really lovely clever local
The greatest tour I EVER took in my life!!! I have travelled the world and most tours are generic and non-personal. BIG blows the lid off that concept! From insightfullness, knowledge and true sense of Bangkok, Big was not only great but he made us understand Bangkok like no other could!
Araya is a super guide ! She knows the city, the history, the food, the place and she is super kind too. Don’t hesitate to choose her and she knows a bit of French too :)
Araya took us to several local Thai restaurants where we sampled very tasty, spicy Isaan cuisine from northeastern Thailand. Araya has a lovely personality, was knowledgeable about the dishes and how they were prepared and was careful to ensure that the food wasn’t too spicy for our North American palates. The tour allowed us to experience a different side of Bangkok. (The actual date we took this tour was November 2019)
Araya was an amazing host. We went to little hole in the wall places we would never have found on our own. After dinner, she gave us a tour around the neighborhood and gave us a brief but informative history of temples, boulevards, royalty and culture. would highly recommend Araya Note: we were with Araya in January 2020. T/A options for dates are limited in their drop-down.
We had a great time with Big. He is very friendly, very knowledgeable about the different dishes and places to go to in order to have the best experience with street food in Bangkok. We highly recommend the tour and Big.
Big was an great ambassador of the thaï cooking Il was a very Pleasant travel in Bangkok . Great thanks
Excelent tour, we had a real nice time. The things you gonna see are local foods, a good explenation of all And Big is a real nice guy. You hear a lot of the history of Bankok. We higly recomand it.👌👌
I traveled to Thailand on honeymoon. We used WithLocals to dive into Bangkok and see and eat things we would be too scared to try on our own. Nok was a lovely tour guide to my husband and I. She was patient, understanding, super smart, and very friendly!!! I highly recommend the WithLocals for a fun experience of a city you have never tracked to before! If you are ever in Bangkok, Nok is your girl!
Wow! What an afternoon and night! We look back at an amazingly different tour, not the one you expect in the first place! Big is a great guide and knows a lot about food, ofcourse the Thai culture and many places you will not know about if you don't go on this tour! We can highly recommend this tour and if you want to be surprised; just GO for it! @Big; we wish you all the best!
There is no better way to experience Bangkok! Nala was our tour guide for the night and she was hands down, the best Thailand has to offer! Besides navigating around the local eateries, where barely any tourists are seen, we were served the tastiest of foods. My aunt and I both thought that we knew what Thai food was about, having frequented many Thai restaurants, but nope... all the nuisances and flavors were discovered on this tour with Nala! A sweet and spunky disposition, along with Nala’s mastery of the English language was a breath of fresh air! Her presence and love for the culture is palpable and I couldn’t have more grateful to have had her as our liaison for the night!
Sascha was a terrific tour guide that got to know us and customized our tour to fit our needs and desired experience. We were exhausted from our long flight from America but Sascha helped us pack a ton of food and cultural experiences as possible. Thank you Sascha!!
I really enjoyed the food tour with May. May was really funny and personable, and her experience as a chef was very interesting. She did a great job explaining all the different local foods, the process of preparing and cooking each dish and the ingredients as well. All the food choices were delicious. I would highly recommend this tour with May!
We did the 10 tastings with Sammy one evening in July. Sammy was a bundle of energetic enthusiasm, sharing interesting insights and friendly facts. Our tour was above expectations- and the food was authentic, tasty (spicy!) and varied. Our family of four (two sons aged 21 and 17) all had individual chats with him as we walked around the various food locations. The tuk tuk ride was good fun too. I would highly recommend him as a host.
Nastassja was as amazing as the food she took us to! We went out of the tourist zone and into true Local alleys with fantastic sights and smells. Nastassja was kind and very knowledgeable about the food and people. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants a true taste of Bangkok with an exceptional guide! Thank you Natassja.
Good morning. We chose this tour because it was the only one in Spanish. When we arrived the Guide spoke no Spanish. Sam. He told us nothing about Thai culture or food. In fact it was missing a couple of lights, we think, and yet we decided to have a good time and take advantage of the fact that it took us places we would never have gone alone.
My husband Riccardo and I are truly satisfied to have chosen this tour! We were both at our first taste of Thai cuisine. Big was incredibly fun and helped us in understanding and trying the local food! Super recommended!! Thanks Big! My husband Riccardo and I were super happy to have chosen this tour: we were both on our first time with Thai cuisine. Big was great fun and explained every aspect of the dishes tasted! Really super recommended!
This lady was top... she showed us everything in bangkok we had in mind... one recommendation as a guide... if we go back nr bangkok it is definitely with her❤️Thank you so much nok 💋
A magnificent tour, where you really learn about local food. Very complete and super fun!! Our guide Nastassja a 10!!
