Must Go- be prepared to EAT! - Nina was incredible!!! This was such an amazing opportunity to see the Thai way of life in bustling Bangkok. We were able to learn about their culture and religion. The food was delicious (DO NOT EAT BEFORE THE TOUR) and every single person we met was so kind and welcoming. 10/10 recommend this tour if you have time for only one in Bangkok. I also loved that it was small group so it felt very intimate and we had flexibility with our stops and food choices. Thank you Nina for the amazing experience.

Floating market - We had a amazing tour with Kae. We learned a lot of interesting details about buddhism and the live of the Thai people in Bangkok. Also we had the chance to taste a lot of excellent food on the markets. The places which we visited are really authentic.

A market by water. - As it says, it's a market and (almost) floats. The start point is just one area of the markets. Food & drink is in abundance at decent prices. Access to other sections of the market is via the waterways with boats aplenty. Lots to see and be amazed at. Doing such a trip, with a guide, really helps. Enjoy some of the freshly cooked food at any of the areas. I personally especially enjoyed the beef strips covered with a sauce. The market can be a little difficult to get to. There were plenty of taxis near the nearest station (Bang Wa) to use. On this trip you do end up at a different market section but there were taxis in abundance, with many varied prices though, to get you back to the station.

A must-do in Bangkok - Exploring the floating markets by boat was an unforgettable experience. The markets were vibrant and full of life, with incredible food and unique local finds. The boat ride gave a glimpse into traditional Thai life. Our guides Kiki and Lucky were fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience even more special. Everything was well-organized, making it very enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Bangkok!

A great tour, don’t miss it. - Had a fantastic tour with Nina with just four people. Bet personal tour and Nina was constantly attentive to what we wanted to do and see and eat. Nina’s English is excellent and she is a very informative and personal guide. We started at Buddhist shrine to make an offering and light incense and pray. Made several stops while riding down the klong on long tailed boat. Visited private home, orchid farm, several markets. Too much great food to smell and eat and Nina made some good recommendations. My advice is to eat a minimal breakfast so you have room for all the sampling. This excursion is the farthest thing from a touristy experience, very local and realistic markets and not crowded. We highly recommend this tour and you will be lucky if you get Nina as your guide.

Great insight into other side of Bangkok - Great insight into the other side of Bangkok. Nina, our guide, was keen and knowledgeable sharing very interesting sights along the canals, including a Thai home and orchid farm. We enjoyed seeing how Thai folk live in their homes on the water and how they sustain themselves from locally produced foods and travelling along the canals in a long tail boat. It was good to go to a market that was more attended by locals than tourists and we were treated to lot of samples from the numerous and varied type of foods while getting insight into how many locals spend their weekends.
