Bangkok in a day - guide took care of everything! - We came to Bangkok via cruiseship so we only had 1 day for the highlights. As this is not much time we decided to book a private tour so we could move at our pace. Mr George as well as the driver were punctual. The car was clean and a cold bottle of water was waiting!
Mr George provided background information on the 2 hour drive in as well as details on the day‘s itinerary. Just prior to arriving in the city we stopped for a restroom break. Mr George even thought to provide toilet paper!
Our first stop was the flower market. We walked through parts of it with Mr George stopping to point out particular flowers or to point out their fragrances.
In we went to a long-tail boat ride. Unfortunately there was insufficient time to travel to the floating markets.
Next stop Grand Palace. Along the way another restroom stop along with the opportunity to fill our water bottles- much needed on this March day with plenty of sunshine, high humidity and temperatures around 37 Celsius.Throughout the tour Mr George was very conscious of stopping for explanations in areas where there was shade or a fan was blowing.
A lot of little things make the difference such as pointing out or even taking pictures in the ideal spots or carrying our shoes through the temple with the reclining Buddha so we would have our hands free to take photos ourselves.
Overall we were extremely satisfied with the tour and our day. Given the weather conditions further stops would have been too much!
We also stopped for typical Thai food recommended by Mr George in an airconditioned restaurant.
Mr. Georg took care of all entrance fees as well as the lunch charges as part of the excursion fee. As such, we could entirely concentrate on the sites.

Best Day in Bangkok - Absolutely spectacular day with a very engaging and intelligent guide, Alex, and safe and attentive driver, Mr. Happy. We could not be happier with the day. We saw a tremendous amount of Bangkok on a shore excursion. The car was new and well air conditioned. We saw everything planned, plus added several more things along the way. Alex spoke perfect English, and taught us so much about what we were seeing and about Thailand. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see and learn as much as possible in a short amount of time.

Excellent guide & private tour of Bangkok from Laem Chabang - This was a private day tour to Bangkok from our cruise ship in Laem Chabang. Great company & tour. Received immediate communication on what to expect and name of the guide. Guide, Mr. George, was great. So was the driver. Very professional and friendly. Everything went very smoothly and we couldn’t ask for better. Saw as much as we could in one long day. They know what they’re doing. Highly recommend.

A lovely overnight stay in Bangkok - Mr. Chob and our guide, George, were outstanding in their communications with us both during the booking process and the lead up to the excursion. We stayed overnight in Bangkok and used the hotel suggested by Mr. Chob - Chatrium Riverside - it was exemplary and I heartily recommend their breakfast buffet. George and our driver, Tony, were on time for both our port and hotel pickups. The itinerary was very enjoyable and George provided excellent context throughout. Our favorite stops were on our second day at the Railway and Floating Markets. Perhaps the only part of the itinerary we did not enjoy much was the cruise along the river in Bangkok; the scenery was only of mild interest and it went on for what seemed like a long time. The rest of the itinerary was great and we are very happy that we chose to stay overnight in Bangkok and use Mr. Chob for our touring arrangements there.

Thorough Tour - From the onset we had great communication with the tour guide and operator. The private van for my family was luxurious, a real plus for the long drive times from the port to Bangkok and Ayutthaya.
Our guide Joy was a joy. She was knowledgeable, passionate for her country and caring for our individual needs.
We squeezed in all the great highlights of the area in the short time we were in port.
I’m glad there wasn’t a test after the tour because with all the information given about the temples and the various King Ramas, I would have failed.
The highlight of the tour were the two boat rides and seeing some of the local wildlife.

Great Bangkok Overview - Tai did a great job showing us the highlights of Bangkok. It was very hot when we toured and she guided us to the shade whenever possible. She took us to a great non touristy restaurant for lunch which was packed with local people. All in all it was a great day
