⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars – An Amazing Day Exploring Bangkok! What an absolutely fantastic experience! We booked the Private Tour: Best of Bangkok in a Day, and it certainly lived up to its name! Our tour guide was absolutely brilliant, incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and full of fascinating information about Bangkok's history, culture and traditions. We learnt so much and got to see some truly amazing sights. Having a private guide made the whole experience even better, as everything felt relaxed, personal and well organised. We certainly got our steps in, walking miles throughout the day! We even got caught in a huge tropical downpour, but that just added to the adventure and gave us something to laugh about! Despite the rain, we thoroughly enjoyed every minute. It was a fantastic way to experience Bangkok, especially if you're visiting for the first time. Would we recommend this tour? Absolutely, 100%! A brilliant experience, an excellent guide and memories we will treasure. Thank you for such a wonderful day exploring Bangkok! 🇹🇭❤️

Wonderful way to see the temples of Bangkok, plus the long boat ride was awesome. Our guide even bought bread so we could feed the fish. Well worth the money, and time.
A great day of guided sightseeing in Bangkok, it was a long day but mainly due to the traffic to and from our hotel. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and a very clean and air conditioned car, plenty of iced bottled water offered during the day. Saw all the major sights.
Our guide Nan was fabulous. We hit most of the major temples, the Royal Palace and flower market. Her English was very good and she was a wealth of cultural and general information. I have trouble walking long distances so she was patient as I needed to stop and sit more than most. The only downside to our day was the extreme heat which is out of anyone’s control.
Krit was wonderful. Knowledgeable, patient and interactive. Great Guide Great sites. Interesting day. Lots of walking in the heat. We walked a total of 7 miles during the full day and Overheated.
Amazing experience with our guide Bella and driver Nui! Great team and absolutely recommend this tour
A great personal tour for 2. The guide was very knowledgeable and made the day very enjoyable. As it was very rainy, he swapped things around so we didn't get too wet. We saw so much in one day - well worth it
This tour with Nan was worth every penny. It was amazingly comprehensive, as we covered many of the major sights in Bangkok in an intense 8-hour day. Nan met us precisely on time in our hotel lobby. Our car was very comfortable, with great air conditioning, and our driver was highly competent. He knew precisely how to get us as close as possible to each location, and picked us up on time in every case. Nan spoke great English and her knowledge of the background and history of the temples and markets, and of Thailand more broadly, was extensive. The experience was seamless as all the tickets and entrance fees were included. We were supplied with cold water throughout, and our lunch in a local restaurant was excellent. We are very happy to have booked this tour. We enthusiastically recommend it.
So happy we chose the private tour. Our guide Guitar was very knowledgeable and helpful. It made seeing all the sights very easy and wasn’t rushed. Lunch was very nice. Long boat ride was great. Happy it was just my husband and I and the tour guide instead of being with a big group.
We had Kanya, a very kind, thoughtful, and knowledgeable guide. She knew the history and had an answer for almost every question. She was also a good english speaker so we would not hesitate to recommend her to our friends.
We had an awesome time and really enjoyed our tour . Krit was very friendly, helpful and informative.
Poppy was on time with driver, van was comfortable always had cold water in hand from driver and cold towels to keep fresh. Poppy and driver always had smiles on their faces and willing to help in every way possible. We had a blast driving back from the floating market! They made our day a great finish to our last day in Thailand! Would definitely book them again in a heartbeat!
We had a very good experience. Our tour guide Bella and driver looked after us well and gave us a great explanation on Thailand and Bangkok in particular.
This was an amazing tour. We learned so much and got to see so many amazing temples throughout Bangkok. Nan is an excellent tour guide. They provided us with water to stay hydrated and helped us to take some great photos as well. Highly recommend this tour.
Wear light clothes and good walking shoes and be flexible… Our guide (Tina) was fantastic and made some great recommendations that turned out very well for us.
Khun Guitar was our guide, really professional and excellent ! He took us around BKK, the trip finished at 1:30-2 PM. Overall price is high compared to points covered.
Great!! Very knowledgeable guide, felt like we were skipping lines and getting special treatment Amazing
Tina and the driver Udityan were polite and kind. They both took care of kids space and on a hot day adapted well to our needs. Highly recommend her as tour guide. She is well knowledgeable in Hindu culture and heritage and spoke really well about the history and culture.
A great tour covering most key Bangkok cultural highlights. Nan is a great and very knowledgeable guide. Thank you very much Nan for a wonderful day!
We had a fantastic experience on the Best of Bangkok in a Day tour. Our tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and very informative, making each stop interesting and enjoyable. We were picked up from our hotel right on time, and the entire day was well organised. The gradual visits to the beautiful temples were excellent, giving us plenty of time to appreciate each one without feeling rushed. The complimentary lunch was a lovely addition, and throughout the day our driver thoughtfully provided us with cold drinks, which were especially welcome in the Bangkok heat. Overall, this tour was an excellent way to experience the highlights of Bangkok in a single day. We would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city.
We loved Bangkok!!! What a beautiful city .. to mych to do and see .. The tour guide name : Nan , she was amazing and knowledgeable about the city history, very prepared and professional. She took us all te way in the city and also in a long tail boat on the chao praya river of Bangkok…. What a nice journey. The food was very good and the photos beautiful. We really recommend this tour and the company.
Our guide, Krit, was great at providing us with details regarding what we were viewing but also added in some local pop references to keep the tour entertaining. We were there in June and it was very hot so make sure you pack sunscreen! Say yes to the mango smoothies on the canal ride and mango sticky rice at lunch.
Our guide was absolutely wonderful. This was a sibling trip, my brother and I. It was a full day of culture. We learned so much and saw so much of the city
Excellent history of Thai culture and religion. The Thai temples are breathtaking. This tour is well worth your
It was a complete tour including canal boat ride, Grand Palace and 3 Temples. The guide, Bela, was great. Very friendly and full of knowledge.
Great tour. Our guide, Krit, was very knowledgeable and very nice. Grand Palace and Wat Arun were our favorites on the tour.
Wear shoes that are easy to take off. Beautiful temples! It was super hot and Tina, our guide made sure we stayed hydrated.
Wow, what a fabulous experience. When I do a tour, I look for two things: 1) deep local knowledge 2) smooth logistics. We experienced both of those to perfection during our tour. We spent the day with Nan and she was fabulous. She knows everything, she told fascinating stories about history, engaged with all our questions, and was kind and patient. She ensured every aspect of the day ran smoothly—we almost never had to wait for anything anywhere. Just terrific. I took a leap on this tour and was not disappointed. Bring sunscreen!
We took the tour with Krit as our guide, as a group of 6 mature adults. We could not fault Krit. He was most personable, very knowledgeable and accommodating. We had a very tasty meal with drinks and cold water along the way. The tour was very well planned and timed, the pace was perfect for us all. We did not feel at all rushed. It was well worth having a private tour, as we would never have done so much in one day ourselves, and it was brilliant to have the air conditioned bus. We had no worrying of queuing or travelling in the heat. We felt we had seen everything we wanted to include in our visit, this left us time to enjoy a free day to enjoy the indoor shopping centre and an evening tuk-tuk tour, before our onward travel the following day. Thank you Krit for a fabulous day.
Nan was an amazing tour guide. Bangkok is a beautiful city with so much to see. She hit all of the highlights and accomodated our request to change the schedule. Would highly recommend.
Our guide Bella was very nice and accommodating to our requests to change some of the sights we wanted to see and spend more time on. She provided great insights into the places we visited. She’s very knowledgeable a d we highly recommend her and this private tour.
The tour was great due to the tour guide Tina who was knowledgeable and informative of the history & culture. She also shared great shopping tips! We were in good hands the whole time which made the tour more enjoyable!
The trip is well organized, and Nan, our tour guide, was amazing. She taught us a lot about Thai culture and Buddhism. For one day, you will see a lot and be exposed to Thai culture and its history. It is a must do trip. Make sure you have good pair of walking shoes on.
This itinerary was amazing -it packed a lot into 8 hours. We feel like we were immersed in the culture and history of Bangkok and saw the major temples and sights. We were able to customize the itinerary to include a sight we were interested in. Our guide, Bella, was very knowledgeable and tuned in to our preferences. It was very pleasant spending the day with her. We were in a very comfortable luxury van with a skilled driver. Overall and excellent day in Bangkok.
The tour was great. Danny was very knowledgeable. I will recommend this tour if you want to see all the main sights in Bangkok. It is a bit pricy but you will get what you pay for.
A wonderful way to see the temples of Bangkok. Our guide was informative and got the pace just right. The ability to be carried in the air conditioned mini bus was a relief from the heat. The boat ride was a pleasant surprise and gave the chance to see a side of Bangkok probably not seen. Lunch, drinks, entrance, all included and was fabulous. Would highly recommend.
In just one day, 8 hours, our personal guide showed us the must see cultural sites, plus surprises like the flower market and our own long boat ride through the canals. The best part of the tour was spending a day with Krit, a Thai person fluent in English, who shared his knowledge of the history and culture, Buddhiism, and everyday life in Bangkok. Priceless
We saw all of the beautiful historical sites in Bangkok. Our guide spoke English very well. We had a nice lunch as well. A private Tour in a city like this is very worthwhile.
A wonderful day tour of the must see places in old Bangkok. We were picked up at our hotel and taken in a very comfortable vehicle to all the sights I wanted to visit. Starting with the flower market, Chinese town, palace, temples. It was very well planned and guided. We even had a trip on one of the old canals. It was great to have our own guide who was knowledgeable and spoke great English. A lovely lunch was also provided in a popular cafe.
The personalize care made us all feel very comfortable in another country. Krit was excellent in doing that and extremely knowledgeable. He was also flexible in terms of our priorities which made all the difference. He and the driver are highly recommended. I continue to trust Viator with our travel plans!
Very Professional. Our Guide Krit is very accommodating. Well informed and knowledgeable in their History and Culture. Please Note that This comment/ review is the consensus of 4 Traveling Friends
Its a long day with lots of walking, but well worth it. The boat ride could be challenging with mobility issues... but essentially, its a full day of temple visits. I'm glad we did it....Lunch and the intereaction with others was Great! Jessie, our guide was exceptional. Well versed in the historical and cultural aspects of not only the temples, but Bangkok as well, added soooo much to the tour. She was exceptional, as was our driver - whose name I forgot to get. Jessie knew the history and significance of every site we visited (and some we didnt!) and her compassion and knowledge of the history of Thailand only added to our experience. She really made our excursion worthwhile. And being a private tour? The one on one interaction was priceless. Overall, if you are up for a walk, this is an must do if you have limited time in Bangkok. And Jessie...you are a Gem
The van was new and clean. The driver was safe and friendly. The tour guide (Bella) was very knowledgeable, knew tons of history, knew how to navigate the attractions, and spoke great English.
Wonderful experience, the tour was amazing and accommodating for our family and friends for an full day.
Bella was amazing! She was incredibly knowledgeable and made the entire trip seamless from start to finish. The pickup was prompt, and everything was handled so smoothly that we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Highly recommend her services for an stress-free experience!!
I don’t usually book private tours because they are more expensive. However, I don’t know now if I’ll ever go back to group tours. Our tour guide, Nan, was amazing and so knowledgeable about the area. It was so nice to have one-on-one attention and to ask her all the questions I wanted because it was just me and my mom. So worth the money and she made the trip so enjoyable. So thankful for her. We got to see and do everything we wanted. It was beautiful.
Excellent day seeing the main sights in Bangkok. Wonderful guide who was very informative and pleasant to chat with. Would recommend this tour to anyone.
Very well selected stops on the tour. I do these often in many places around the world and our guide Krit was just fantastic - great knowledge, sincere and impeccable English.
We had a wonderful experience on the Best of Bangkok Tour! Our guide, Krit, was incredibly knowledgeable about the temples and shared so much interesting history and cultural insight. He was also very kind, patient, and especially attentive in helping my elderly parents throughout the day. We truly appreciated his care and professionalism. Highly recommend!
Fabulous day tour with Nan. She organised an amazing tour with the help of a great driver and skilfully navigated me through the heat and crowds of the main sights of Bangkok. Her English is perfect, her knowledge outstanding and she helped document the day for me with great photography. I felt as though I had spent the day with a friend and would definitely recommend Nan as a guide. Amazing day.
