diverse tour with various spots in Bangkok - Geng knows well, showed a lot to tell and led us safely through the city. Went after us individually. A top guide!

Great way to meet Bangkok - This is a great way to introduce a family to Bangkok. You get to experience the best of the main highlights as well as some of the less explored areas. Our guid, Imm, was wonderful. She shared lots of cultural information and have us insight we wouldn't have otherwise achieved. She also really took care of us as a family on a pretty hot day, ensuring our wellbeing at all times. Plus we got lots of practical information and tips. Highly recommended.

A unique experience! - An unforgettable experience! An Exceptional Guide! It was a unique day. We visited well-kept secrets of Bangkok by sailing along the river on a long tail boat. This tour could not be more complete to visit the essentials of Bangkok and also the authentic Bangkok of farming communities. Mr Geng is generous in terms of service, attention and time. Respectful and always smiling. Thanks again...

Awesome day! - Great blend between the city and rural areas. Tried some delicious local foods we never would have experienced with out Im's guidance. The price what higher than many other tours. Thought the entry fees into the temples and palace should have bee included.

A fantastic and enjoyable tour with good company. - Geng was fantastic, we would recommend him to anyone. He had organised the tour and was also able to accommodate our requests. His knowledge of the areas we went was engrossing. Top mark for Geng.

Private tour Bangkok to hidden places - I had contacted my guide Geng at very short notice and what can I say - it was fabulous. In addition to the Royal Palace, we visited hidden temples and places off the beaten track. We were partly there on our own. He went out of his way to give me an unforgettable day in Bangkok. Thank you very much and I would recommend you at any time.

“Mysterious Bangkok” – highly recommended! - We spent a varied and very entertaining day in somewhat more hidden places in Bangkok and its outskirts. Mr. Geng is a perfect guide because he enjoys typical Thai food and discovering and showing more unusual places. We would definitely book a tour with Expolrenique again next time!

Great Sights, Guide Difficult to Understand - Our guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable about Thai history. He tried to explain the significance of the temple and grand palace and how it all tied into the Thai wars, history and Buddhism. Sadly, his accent was difficult to understand and he spoke very fast. Additionally he talked continuously, never leaving time for my wife and I to talk between ourselves for a couple minutes. He was a VERY nice and knowledgeable tour guide, but for us, it was just too much information coming at us at a rate that was too quick in an accent, that was for us, difficult to understand, which led to a loss of the information trying to be conveyed.
