Private Bangkok Canal Boat Tour To Big Buddha Or The Artist House

We did the 2 hour tour early in the morning which was great for us. The information before the event and at the start was really helpful and the trip was a highlight of our stay in Bangkok. The tour took in many temples, beautiful waterside properties and other sights and ended at the Artist’s house.

The trip was wonderful! Just the right length of time. Natalie was a great guide. So warm and lovely. She took us to a peaceful garden for a coffee stop which we really enjoyed. Then we were dropped off at the Artists house at the end. Wonderful views of the big Buddha from the canal. Driver was really careful too to make it a steady ride. Thank you we loved it

One of the highlights of our stay in Bangkok! We did the private canal boat tour and cruised the canals for 2 hours with our fantastic guide Nadia and captain Lek! It was a great way to see the city and some of its temples from a different perspective and get a taste of local life. We even got noodles from one of the canal boat vendors! To finish we had a tour of the impressive Big Buddha. Nadia was an excellent guide full of local knowledge and history, and her and captain Lek made this a really memorable experience! Highly recommended as a way to see a different side of Bangkok!

We really had a great tour with Natalie. She was really flexible with the tour, very talkative and nice to our children.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Bangkok by The River Tours. Everything about the tour was perfect and incredibly enjoyable. The whole experience was very well organized, relaxing, and a fantastic way to see Bangkok from a different perspective. Our kids loved every minute of it, and it was truly a highlight for the entire family. The atmosphere was fun and welcoming, and we all had such a great time together. It’s not always easy to find activities that both adults and children enjoy equally, but this tour managed to do exactly that. Thank you for such a memorable experience. We highly recommend Bangkok by The River Tours to anyone visiting the city, especially families looking for something special to do together.

Our family had a great trip with our guide Jaoh, who is both extremely knowledgeable about the area and its history - and a pleasure to spend a few hours with. Highly recommended for families. Jaoh was great with our kids, and was mindful of their needs during the tour. We could tailor our tour exactly like we wanted. Absolutely recommended! You wont regret it.

Absolutely stunning, the boat ride was so calm and relaxing with a bit of speed and excitement. We got to see so much more of such a big place thank to Bangkok by the River Team. We 100% recommend and would definitely do again. Adding the tour guide on was a great bonus too, Natalie was absolutely amazing. And Jaoh was a message or call away if we had any questions so thank you all so much!! I wish Trip Advisor would let me upload videos as I took way more vids than pics.

We had amazing morning on the canals with Joah and the Bangkok by the River team. The private tour was just what we were looking for to see a more authentic view of homes along the canals. Their rustic beauty was wonderful. Joah also ensured we had the best seats for lunch and situated us for a taxi before saying good bye. I would highly recommend this tour for visitors to Bangkok.

I highly recommend the canal tour in Bangkok! It was an amazing experience with a very local vibe and a great way to see a different side of the city. Everything was super fun, and the whole family loved it. Definitely worth it! Thank you Jaoh and the team!

Kae and our boat driver were phenomenal. They were gentle with my mom and very respectful to her balance difficulties. Kae’s English was beautiful and her energy was welcoming. The history she shared made the trip even more special. Fantastic way to see the city and understand how commerce was and still is conducted. Thank you.

We are a family of five from Sweden with three children who took a private 2-hour canal tour in mid-December and it was absolutely wonderful. Our guide, Jaoh was exceptional! She has deep knowledge of the local area and a fantastic way of engaging the kids, keeping them interested and happy throughout the trip. We truly appreciated how customizable the tour was. Jaoh allowed us to spend more time at spots we loved and tailored the route to show us special places that suited our family's interests. She even helped us spot some turtles, which was a huge hit with the kids! Finishing the tour with a custom drop-off near Wat Arun made our logistics much easier. If you are visiting Bangkok with a family we highly recommend booking this tour!

We added one more spot to go to before departure and made it a 3-hour trip. The guide was super helpful throughout the trip, helping us plan the trip and communicate with the boat operator. Private tour is definitely a right choice to make when exploring the rivers. Super flexible schedule. The guide even let the boat operator to drop us off at a small pier near our next planned destination. The flyer she made is also straightforward and easy to understand. A detailed timeline (hand-written on the departure spot?) could be better, just a thought. Communicating with the boat driver could be challenging, and you have to communicate with him through the guide. But all went smoothly! The whole trip was way beyond my expectations and our family would definitely have this experience again next time we are in Bangkok.

Perfect two hour private tour! You can decide were to stop and for how long. Very friendly family company. We went on the traditional Thai flat boat so you can see a lot from the surrounding. Communication before was also very good. I would recommend this trip and company.

Panatda was a good guide on our long tail boat canal tour. We opted for 30 min in the artist area but we would recommend staying longer. The boat was comfortable and the driver took us through interesting canal areas. Would recommend taking this private tour over a group tour because they will customize the stops and areas to visit for you.

We had a most pleasant ride on Bangkok's canals, in one of the company's boats. Panadta, our trip organiser was most helpful in arranging this trip. From the time we left home, she was in touch with us, also helped the taxi driver in locating the meeting point for the trip. Also assisted us with booking transport back to the hotel after the canal trip. Boat crew were also very helpful and cooperative. Panatda had also kept some tasty refreshments for us on the boat. A most enjoyable trip. Thanks very much Panatda. Will repeat this trip when we come back to Bangkok.

My friend and I had a great time with Jaoh! The boat ride was a nice change from the shopping malls and night markets. Just taking the boat itself was an experience. We got to see interesting local houses by the river, feed fishes and drop by a small little artsy lane. What's more Jaoh is super friendly and accommodating, and you can learn some Thai from her during the tour!

The trip was amazing! We get to see a different side of Bangkok with less crowd and more interesting activities at our own pace with our own boat ! Jaoh is a super friendly tour guide and we even extended our 2h boat tour to 3h! We will definitely join this tour again!

Exchanges via WhatsApp for organization and perfect welcome. A few explanations before departure. We opted for the traditional Thai flat boat with 4 stops. Our pilot was very attentive. We were 6 and had a great time. I recommend without hesitation!
