5* Bangkok experience - Phenomenal wat to spend our last night in Bangkok. I booked directly via Hidden Bangkok and the communication was brilliant. The tour itself was fantastic, we loved cruising through the 'hidden' canals, our boat driver was lovely and pointed interesting things out to us on route, ensuring we got great photo oops. We stopped at the artist house and also slowed down outside numerous temples on route for pics. The staff were all lovely, highly recommend.

Wonderful excursion - From start to finish a wonderful experience! Experience Bangkok away from mass tourism. We visited a small village by the river. With small stalls where locals sold souvenirs and delicacies. Our English speaking guide was super friendly and explained everything great to us. So far one of the most beautiful experiences in Bangkok.

A true highlight of our trip! - Absolutely amazing! My family and I joined the EV‑boat tour with Hidden Bangkok, and it truly exceeded our expectations. Even though we’ve visited Bangkok many times, this tour revealed parts of the city we had never seen before. It felt like discovering a whole new side of a place we thought we already knew. Our guide was fantastic, warm, welcoming, and full of interesting insights on local life in Bangkok. The EV‑boat itself was a highlight. We’ve done traditional klong tours before, but experiencing the canals without the noise of an engine made the whole trip incredibly peaceful. I highly recommend this tour, especially the EV‑boat, to anyone who wants to explore a quieter, less-travelled side of Bangkok. We especially enjoyed visiting the artist-village, which was full of locally made goods. As a lovely extra touch, the tour operator even sent us a beautiful family photo they had taken during the trip. A perfect keepsake from a wonderful experience.

Great slow boat tour - The tour was great, our english guide explained us many things about the canals and the living in the city of Bangkok. You can choose between two stops : a temple or the artist village. Then the boat captain accept to drop us un Wat Arung pier. Everyone was very kind with us.

Great tour - A really nice experience! It was great to see how the people live by the canals. The artist village along the way was also an interesting place. It was really worth the money, I highly recommend to take this tour to see the real Bangkok! We were there with two kids, and everything worked out well! The guide was also very articulate and spoke good English
