- We had a wonderful private tour of the Grand Palace and temples along the river in Bangkok with Sarida! It was so great to have someone so knowledgeable and attentive taking us around. It made the day effortless and so much more enjoyable. We had a group of five between the ages of 15 and 52 and it was a great experience for everyone. We enjoyed it so much that we also had Taste Of Thailand and Sarida take on two more days of tours for us during our stay. We did a private tuk tuk tour at night with great views of the city all lit up and wonderful food stops, including a stroll through Chinatown. Another day we went on a full day tour out of the city to see the floating market and the train market on the way to the beach. Everything was arranged ahead of time, including pick up and transportation, and we were even able to make some stops along the way to taste some local specialties. So much of what we experienced would never have been possible without a local leading the way, Best of all, we were able to relax on our vacation as plans were handled! We highly recommend Taste Of Thailand for any food tours and/or excursions on your trip to Thailand.

A must! - We were all over Thailand and this tour was still one of our favorites! Bella knows her stuff! She knows her history but she also knows the times to be at certain places to avoid the crowds and where and when to stop for food to cool off. This tour exceeded all expectations we had. If you are in Thailand this is a must!! Tour guides make the tour ask for Bella.
