We had a fabulous and informative day with WaterLilly. She gave us interesting insight to Thai traditions and her historical knowledge was impressive. We asked for some experience on public transport and she was happy to show us the ropes. Thank you

The history of Chinatown dates back to when King Taksin founded Thonburi as a new capital in 1767, he asked Teochew merchants to supply his new capital with rice and provision. In return, he granted them many favors, including the land on the East bank of the Chao Phraya river, opposite his palace. When King Rama 1 ascended to the throne and founded Bangkok as the new capital in 1782, he ordered the Grand Palace built in the area that the Chinese community stayed in. He ordered them to move further South from the Grand Palace to live in a certain area which is now known as Chinatown.

Poppy is the best! She is extremely knowledgeable and fun! She knows the ins and outs when getting you to the city’s highlights. We loved the tour and our time with her. I would highly recommend seeing the city with her on a custom tour.
Great tour with Tip , very knowledgeable and great communicator . Tailored our tour to suit our wishes
We had a wonderful experience on our 8-hour private tour with our tour guide, Som, and our driver, Mr. Wat. They arrived at our hotel right on time, and we were able to share our preferred attractions and interests with Som at the beginning of the tour. Som was very knowledgeable and shared many interesting stories about the history and culture of the Grand Palace, the Reclining Buddha, and our canal tour. The timing throughout the day was perfect. We enjoyed lunch in Chinatown and also made stops for delicious coconut ice cream and at a famous mango sticky rice shop. We ended our final attraction at ICONSIAM and returned to hotel by 4:15pm. Mr. Wat was friendly, professional, and a safe driver, making our journey around Bangkok comfortable and relaxing. Overall, we had a fantastic time and really enjoyed the flexibility and personal attention of this private tour. Highly recommended such a comfortable and enjoyable way to explore Bangkok!
I had such a great time on my tour with Guide Katie. I did a custom tour of the Mekong Railway Market, Damnoen Saduak floating market and the Ban Don Kai Benjarong porcelain village to visit the Benjarong artisans in their workshops, browse their beautiful hand painted porcelain and to try my hand at it! From the customisation of the trip to the hotel pickup and being looked after so thoughtfully throughout the day by Katie and my driver - I would highly recommend to any visitor or expat living in Thailand, wanting to experience a slice of Thai market an artisanal life. Highlights included how lovely and kind our Ban Don Kai host was and how fun and knowledgable Katie was. 10 out 10 experience!!
Had the best time with Peter today! He took us to the Train Market, the Floating Market and the Dragon Temple. He was super nice the whole time and always making sure we were good. He even got us to try the coconut ice cream and the mango sticky rice… sooo worth it 😂. He was taking pictures of us all day too, which I really appreciated because now we have so many great memories without having to ask. We’ve done a lot of tours over the years and honestly he’s one of the best guides we’ve had. If you’re lucky enough to get Peter, you’re gonna have a great day. Thanks again Peter!!
We booked a private tour with Katie (booked via Nok - who we've used before and loved!). Katie guided our party of 11—ranging in age from 11 to 75—for a tour of the canals, Wat Paknam (Giant Buddha) and Wat Pho. Katie exceeded our expectations - she messaged us on WhatsApp beforehand with exact meeting details at Wat Pho (complete with an umbrella to spot her), was right on time and had all the boat logistics perfectly organized. Getting our multi-generational group on and off the boat at different stops was effortless! She speaks brilliant English, chats easily with all ages, takes loads of fun photos! and found us an amazing local lunch spot. (Only tiny tip for future boat trips: longtail engines are loud, so don't be afraid to ask her to project a bit on the water for all her useful knowledge!). Katie is a fantastic guide. We can't recommend her highly enough!
This was a great day out. You can choose your own agenda and tweak it as the day goes on as you feel which was great. The car was clean and they kept it clean in between outings. Every time we got back in the car we have fresh cold towels and cold water! We left early to avoid traffic, went to the Train Market first. She took some great pics of us with the train. Then we went to get pictures with tigers which was not planned. Next the water market was a good trip we did both the boat and walked it. Poppy knows everyone there since she is through there so much. Next we drove by the giant swing to get some pictures sadly it was under construction. Next we went to Wat Pho to get some great pictures also. She is pretty knowledgeable about the sites. Lastly we went to see Wat Arun from across the river. We were going to go to the sky walk but were pretty spent after all that so decided to ditch that which was fine as our 8 hours were coming to an end. There was an option to get an unlimited amount of time that included admissions after we booked. We haven't done that math yet but that would have probably been a better deal than paying for everything as we went along. Would totally recommend a day with Poppy! She made sure to turn the day into a food tour also as we also indicated that we were interested in tasting things along the way. She did this all at her expense and it was VERY appreciated.
Excellent experience and value for money. We traveled in a very comfortable van and went for a day outside bangkok. Boudha temple and dragon temple were incredible. Lunch at the bubble in the forest cafe was excellent. We couldn’t miss the railway market. The guide was super nice and knowledgeable explained all the temples history and the Thai culture. Perfect day !
Our guide, Katie, was truly exceptional and one of the highlights of our trip to Bangkok. She is incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and has a wonderful sense of humour that made every tour enjoyable. Katie has a remarkable ability to bring history to life—she patiently explained the stories and significance behind each place in a way that was engaging, interactive, and never once felt boring. Beyond her expertise, Katie is simply a kind and genuine person who goes out of her way to help everyone around her. She was always attentive without being intrusive, giving our group the perfect balance of privacy while stepping in whenever we needed assistance or guidance. She also has a fantastic eye for photography and knew exactly where to take us for the best pictures, helping us capture memories we'll cherish forever. Katie's professionalism, passion, and caring nature made our experience truly unforgettable. We couldn't have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Bangkok. Thank you, Katie, for making our trip so special!
This is the second time we have used Katie as a guide on Bangkok. Our kids specifically requested that we have a day with her again if we came back. She did not disappoint and everyone had a great day. She is also like having Disneyphoto pass with you all day and so now we have lots of family pics too. If you are debating getting a guide just do it.
We had an excellent experience in Chiang Mai! The pickup, drop-off, and tour schedule were perfectly on time, making the entire day smooth and stress-free. Our tour guide, Maylee, driver, and vehicle were all outstanding. Our guide consistently went above and beyond to ensure everything was seamless, always checking that we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. Her attention to detail and genuine care made the trip even more memorable. Highly recommended!
We had an amazing experience with NOC Travel in Chiang Mai. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. Our guide, Maylee, was exceptional—friendly, knowledgeable, and made every tour enjoyable with her insights and warm personality. The car was comfortable, and our driver was professional, punctual, and ensured we had a safe and smooth journey throughout. We highly recommend NOC Travel to anyone visiting Chiang Mai. Thank you for making our trip so memorable!
Having made a quick decision to attend the Anzac Day Dawn Service at Hellfire Pass. Noc Noc Tours quickly put together an awesome itinerary. The whole journey to the historic Thailand- Burma Railway went without a hitch. Visiting Kanchanaburi to see the war graves and museum, on to my riverside hotel and being ready for the early start to attend the Dawn service The private car met me at the early hour of 2.0am in good time to be at Hellfire Pass for the Dawn commemorative service. After the service and the Gunfire Breakfast we drove back to Kanchanaburi for the long-boat trip to see The Bridge over the River Kwai. Couldn’t have asked for anything more and my appreciation goes to the very attentive guide Katie for not only putting together the Tour but her constant attention to detail and concern for my wellbeing.
Som provided a highly professional English speaking private guide service. Booking through Trip Advisor was easy & secure. Confirmations & reminders were helpful. Som arrived at our accommodation at the appointed time & after a quick discussion about our interests, she took us on a customised, interesting and varied full day out. She is knowledgeable about Thailand’s proud history and culture, and was careful to ensure our enjoyment and safety. I cannot recommend her services highly enough. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable day!!
We had limited time in Bangkok and our guide Nate managed to get us round everything we wanted to see including private boat on the Khlongs. Super nice chap full of knowledge and saved us loads of time by knowing exactly how to get around
Arrived in Bangkok, greeted at airport by Mimi and driver. Picked up from hotel the next day for a full tour. Visited many temples, the Royal Palace, a wonderful canal rude, the reclining Buddha, a one hour massage, delicious lunch and a ferry ride to our final temple Wat Pho.. The next day we visited China town, another temple, the flower market, a live Thai performance, another delicious lunch. Throughout the entire 3 days, our driver Mr. Laor seamlessly appeared from nowhere to pick us up in his air conditioned van. He was amazing. Our guide Mimi was beyond informative with her knowledge of every temple and venue we visited. A truly unique experience. Recommendations to any family travelling in this foreign country.
Top notch! Went above and beyond our expectations
We truly enjoyed our vacation in Thailand, and a big part of that was thanks to our amazing tour guide, From the moment we arrived until the day we left, the service we received was absolutely unmatched. Poppy and Guide Nok made us feel incredibly special throughout our entire trip. They catered to our every need and ensured we were comfortable and well taken care of every step of the way. Their attention to detail and genuine care made all the difference. They were always punctual, ready to pick us up on time for each tour, and everything was organized seamlessly. We never had to worry about a thing — we were able to fully relax and enjoy our experience. I highly recommend this company to anyone planning to visit Thailand. You will be in excellent hands!
We had the most amazing private tour from Bangkok to Pattaya with Noc Noc Travel and Tours. From the very beginning, everything was perfectly organized. Nok was incredibly helpful while planning the tour and made it possible for us to travel together with our small dog. That meant so much to us! Our tour guide Som was simply wonderful – kind, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. She adapted completely to our pace and made sure everything was arranged so we could bring our dog along comfortably. We truly felt taken care of the entire day. Our tour started at the Sanctuary of Truth, which was absolutely breathtaking. Som explained so many interesting details and gave us plenty of time to explore. After that, we visited the Big Buddha in Pattaya, where she took beautiful photos of us and shared great insights. Next, we went to the Floating Market and enjoyed a small boat tour. This was such a highlight! We did some souvenir shopping, and Som introduced us to local drinks and food – we got to try so many delicious things we would never have discovered on our own. We also visited another Laser Buddha afterwards, which was a perfect ending to a fantastic day. If you want to travel at your own pace and have a truly personalized experience, we can highly recommend booking a private tour with Noc Noc Travel and Tours. And definitely ask for Som – she is the perfect tour guide you could wish for! Thank you for this unforgettable day! 🙏✨
Prior to arriving in Bangkok, I had mentioned places we would like to visit as we were staying in the city for just a couple of days. Alex provided the perfect tailored tour helping us to experience amazing landmarks, true culture and excellent foods. Alex was friendly and her knowledge of the city was very impressive. Highly recommend.
Booked a private tour with driver. This proved to be a no hassle way to see the sights. We moved from temple etc to the next sight with ease. The queue for a boat trip was long but we had no wait time and a boat for just us. Don’t know how Tip managed that. Tip our guide was knowledgeable, friendly with a great sense of humour. She arranged an appointment to a tailor who managed to make a linen suit in a very restricted time slot. A wonderful and informative day. Thank you Tip ( incredible lunch too)
Excellent tour with Lily, who was very kind and knowledgeable. She helped us to choose an excellent itinerary. Highly recommended.
Som and Beer provided a fantastic tour from start to finish. Som took care of every detail and gave lots of history and tips. We got lots of helpful suggestions of what to do that day and for the rest of our trip. They gave us a great first day in Bangkok!
We did a private tour with Lily for our first day in Bangkok. She was so friendly and helpful we felt like we were being shown around by a friend. Lily picked us up at our hotel and took us by ferry to the Grand Palace, Wat Po, and Wat Arun. She also took us to a tiny little Thai restaurant for lunch that we never would have known about. We learned so much from Lily! All communication from Noc before our trip was timely and very professional. I highly recommend having a private tour with Noc Noc to get acclimated to Bangkok and learn all the customs and history. Thank you Lily for a terrific day!
Our tour guide Lily was fantastic! Our tour was fun, informative, and customized for us and our interests. It was the perfect was to see some of the main sites and start our visit.
we visited a few highlights of Bangkok during our full day tour with Katie, including Grand Palace, Wat Arun, Wat Pho, Golden Buddha, Chinatown. Katie took very good care of us and arranged the best tour for us, including numerous great photo spots! can only recommend :)
This was a great way to see some top Bangkok highlights. Our guide, Athens, was great - very knowledgeable, professional, and helpful. You can see whatever you want on the tour, and Athens even accommodated a same-day change to our itinerary to go visit a more local temple (Wat Paknam - which we loved). Nice also to go on the ferry and SkyTrain with him leading the way, and without having to figure out the whole system.
We had an excellent first day exploring the amazing sights of Bangkok expertly guided by the lovely Som. Her warm personality and excellent knowledge of the city made for an easy, hassle free and super fun day. Thanks Som :)
Katie was an incredible guide! Prior to our tour, she reached out with useful information, asked about our preferences, and ideas on the itinerary. She was very flexible and tailored the itinerary to our needs and desires. She provided great information about the sites and Bangkok. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with her. Highly recommend her!
The contact with Noc Noc prior to the trip has been super easy. Poppy, the guide, was amazing. Super Nice and respectfull. Kids wanted a light tour and she did it in a way we all enjoyed it. I recommend 100%
Excellent tour, our guide Nate was very helpful, knowledgeable and funny. Gave us lots of info and on-site into Bangkok that we would never have known without going on this tour. The city is stunning and would highly recommend.
We are an elderly Indian couple who decided to visit Bangkok and Auththaya on our way to Angkor Wat. We are so lucky to book it through NocNoc travels. From the airport pickup till the drop of the fourth day everything have been handled so smoothly. And we can't stop praising Katie who is our guide for the Bangkok and Auththaya tours. She is knowledgeable and good guide and way way beyond that. She is a kind, nice, soft and gentle human being and both me and my wife enjoyed the tour atleast 4 times as much just because of her presence. I didn't specifically asked for her but was lucky enough to get her as the guide. If anyone (mostly women travellers) reading this feedback chooses NocNoc travels then be sure to ask for her. You won't be disappointed. We will go back to Thailand, sooner or later, and we will adjust our gets to get her as the guide again. We felt that much safe in her company. Also she is a good photographer. She has snapped some nice photographs of my wife and me.
Som was a brilliant guide. We enjoyed a great day seeing the main sights of Bangkok and it was great to have herlocal knowledge to inform us so well and help us navigate along the way.
We had a very wonderful time with Paula. Appreciate her flexibility and we enjoyed the time with her. My niece was able to visit the temples in her list including the grand palace and the humongous golden Buddha at Wat Praknam via long tail boat. Thank you Paula for the wonderful time.
What a wonderful day we had with Som. She personalised the tour to suit us, and we enjoyed a lovely Thai lunch together. She shared so much information about Bangkok and Thai way of life and culture. It was fabulous. What a great memory for us. Don't hesitate and book today and ask for Som - she's the best!
I had an amazing experience with this tour company. All the tours were extremely well organized, and every detail was carefully planned. Our guide, Tip, was absolutely the best guide I have ever had. She explained everything clearly and passionately, sharing deep insights into Thai culture, traditions, and daily life, which made each tour even more special and meaningful. Thanks to the excellent organization and Tip’s outstanding guidance, every tour was enjoyable, informative, and unforgettable. I am 100% sure that I will use this company’s services again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone visiting Thailand.
Thanks to our cheerful personal tour guide Tip(suda), we not only learned all kinds of interesting facts about Buddha and his history, as well as the history of Bangkok and Kings Rama 1 to 10. Tip also helped us overcome the initial hurdles of using public transportation and showed us the right food stalls that even a Western European tourist's stomach can handle. It was a great day.
I had a wonderful time on my visit to Bangkok and the highlight was my personalized day tour with Lek. I gave her a list of the places I wanted to see in advance and she proposed a possible itinerary in response. During the day I was able to visit the reclining and emerald Buddhas, the Grand Palace, the flower market and Chatuchak weekend market. She met me in the lobby of my hotel and to get around town we took the MRT, BTS, bus, and ferry, which was an experience in itself. Lek is friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the history of the places we visited and several times other tourists stopped her to ask for help. If you're in Bangkok and are looking for a way to learn more about the city and its culture, I highly recommend scheduling a tour with Lek.
We finished an all day experience with Katie - she was wonderful! My husband and I are here from America for our Honeymoon and visited 3 temples today. She went above and beyond to take photos of us and show us everything there is! We toured temples, ate a wonderful lunch, and ended our day taking photos at Wat Arun. I would high to recommend this and request Katie!!
Nok our tour guide was amazing. We saw lots of temples, floating market along with many more things to see along the way. Nok was so friendly and helpful and the driver was great too.
From start to finish, this experience was truly unforgettable. Noc, the organizer was extremely organized, professional, and attentive to every detail. Communication was clear, timely, and made the entire experience stress-free..... But the real MVP? Our incredible guide Poppy, we love Poppy. She kept the vibes high, the laughs flowing, and the group energized all day long and made sure we were hydrated and happy. Poppy kept our group smiling the entire time. We visited the Railway Market, floated through the Damnoen Floating Market, tasted everything in sight and bargained like pros. The temples were breathtaking, peaceful, and full of history, and Poppy made each stop feel meaningful and fun at the same time. The Tuk Tuk night tour—an absolute FOOD ADVENTURE with soooo much delicious street food. Every bite was better than the last. We did an elegant dinner cruise which was perfect from the stunning views, great music, amazing food, and all around great vibe. Oh yeah, we also took photos with tigers, something I never thought I would do. Unfortunately their Queen passed away a few weeks prior but it was interesting to learn their culture and tradition when unfortunate things like this happens and how much the people of Thailand lkved and respected their Queen. Don't hesitate...BOOK THIS TOUR. It’s unforgettable, flavorful, and full of moments you’ll talk about forever! I can't wait to come back
OUTSTANDING service!!!!!!. Not only we enjoyed a private customized tour with our amazing guide Som, and excellent driver Mr Sathien, even for the rest of our trip in Thailand every time we asked something, they helped us. I will book with them every time we come Back to Thailand. The communication with the travel agency was excellent.100% recommend.
We asked for a private customized tour in Bangkok that included the railroad market, the floating market and the 3 main temples. Som was our guide and she was excellent. We had an excellent driver in a very comfortable car. Som picked us up punctually and took us on time to see the train pass through the market with spots on the first row and even took us a photo in front of the train as it was approaching us. She gave us many tips regarding shopping, took us to the best coconut ice cream and mango sticky rice boats in the floating market. The visit of the three temples was amazing. Very interesting and beautiful. Som also took us to a Thai restaurant where we, again, got the best seats. The tour was 11 hours long, we never felt rushed, we didn’t feel tired at the end of the day. We recommend Som 100%. We had an amazing and unforgettable experience. And even when we were on the islands and we needed help coming back to Bangkok, she helped us get a private driver to go to our next destination. If we come back we will definitely ask for her!!!!
Our tour with Tip was amazing! She was very good, friendly and helpful all the time. She knew all the details we were asking in the Wat Pho temple and Grand Palace. Lovely person and tour guide. Would definitely recommend!
We were really happy with Paula. She was super nice, well-prepared, and very flexible with our daily plans. We changed our minds a few times, and she was always incredibly supportive. She was always on time and endlessly patient with us. Thank you, Paula, for making our trip to Bangkok so lovely!
Tip was a wonderful guide. She made great recommendations and customized the tour to my interests. I would highly recommend Tip for anyone visiting Bangkok.
Katie was very responsive and helped us plan our day. We opted to use public transport and she explained how best to use it and which tickets to buy etc. We visited the reclining Buddha and Wat Arun as the palace was closed. I would book Katie again.
An amazing day seeing Bangkok. Nok was fab and tailored the day completely to what we wanted. Would definitely book again!
I booked the tour about one month in advance. Beforehand, they contacted me so I could adjust the itinerary according to my preferences and available time. Our tour guide was Mrs. Som. She accommodated all our wishes and organized the tour in such a way that we managed to see everything we wanted throughout the day without wasting any time unnecessarily. She took great care of us and, on top of that, took nearly 100 photos—she was not only an excellent guide but also a wonderful photographer. At the end of the day, when we thought the tour was over, she even asked us if there was anything else we wanted to see, despite already driving us around the whole day. Truly a fantastic experience. We also booked a private driver with AC, who was always waiting for us with cold water at every stop. That made the whole day even more comfortable. Overall, it was a great tour and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
