- We had a great time on this tour. The pace was good as we had a few older folks in the tour group. All the sites (including the ones that we wanted to remove from the tour but kept them in upon Michiel's recommendation) were interesting. Air was very accommodating and knowledgeable, providing lots of current and historical information along the tour.read moreread lessHistorical Ayutthaya tourEW04 Nov 2024
- We did several tours and it was fun. The railway market was really awesome and so was the floating market. We picked up some great bargains a souvenirs again thanks to Petch’s assistance in negotiating a great price. She is a wonderful guide. Thank you so much for making our time so special. Very friendly and careful driver. Water and cold towels after each stop were provided. Very comfortable transport as well.read moreread lessMarkets and Tham Khao Bin cave tourLesley23 Oct 2024

- This tour was absolutely fantastic. From the moment of pick up in a wonderfully comfortable vehicle we felt so at ease with Air who is incredibly knowledgable and informative. The trip itself is very interesting, we saw everything in good time and weren’t rushed - plus the food was delicious! Plenty of water and cold towels provided. I cannot recommend this tour enough!!read moreread lessBridge River Kwai and Hellfire Pass tourLaura23 Oct 2024
- Tour Date: Sat 20th July. Tour Guide: Ms Petch & Driver Mr A Bangkok Highlights Tour Had a great experience with Petch & Mr A on our recent visit to Bangkok. We only had 2 days over the weekend and that weekend there were some special events on that meant we had limited time to see the Grand Palace and the Emerald Buddha would be closed as the King of Thailand will change the costume of the emerald Buddha from summer to raining season attire. The organisation was excellent, Michiel the owner suggested we go to the Grand Palace early to avoid the crowds and the closure. We started at 8am and went straight to the Grand Palace we had a wonderful walk round the main areas guided by Petch giving details of the temples and history. We then took a short walk to the riverside and got a private long tail boat which took us down the canal at the end we were collected in the cool minivan and taken to Wat Pho (reclining Buddha & temple) Cold water and refreshing hand towels were provided. Our son aged 14 was very impressed with the bling of the minivan. We were again collected and taken for lunch which was lovely and very well priced. Collected again we were taken to Wat Arun (temple of dawn) plenty of time to explore and take photos. We then took a ferry across the Chao Phraya River. We hoped on a Tuk Tuk and finished with a lovely walk around the flower market before being taken back to our hotel. The whole experience was fantastic. I would definitely recommend booking with BKK Tours. Thank you again Petch for a great day! Rebecca, Andy & Oliverread moreread lessRebecca M.13 Aug 2024
- This was our favourite day in Thailand. Our tour guide Air was amazing and funny, she made the day perfect. Air was knowledgable without being over the top, really enjoyed her style of guiding. Our driver was brilliant too, always on hand and offering cool towels and water as soon as we got on and off the bus (which was very much needed as so hot). Highly recommend BKK.read moreread lessFloating markets and Bangkok tourSara08 Aug 2024
- We booked the full day trip called ‘Bangkok Highlights’ and the half day trip called ‘Railway and Floating Markets’ with BKK Tours. This was such a good decision! Although experienced travellers, we felt less confident in Bangkok and wanted to have someone to guide us and to make sure that we maximised our 3 days there. The whole service was 5 star! We were provided with an amazing guide called Petch and a driver called Mr A for both days which allowed us to build a good relationship with them. They arrived promptly for each day and Mr A’s van was out of this world! It was beautifully decorated and air conditioned and we were provided with bottles of cold water frequently throughout the day alongside cold, wet towels to keep us refreshed. Mr A was a great driver who expertly navigated any traffic jams. Petch was lovely and extremely attentive and knowledgable. She was so informative at each destination and constantly took the best family photos for us, knowing all the best places for photos! She went at a pace that suited us, allowing us to stop when things were of more interest. She also helped us to negotiate the best prices for food and souvenirs. They went above and beyond by purchasing extra treats and to recommend local delicacies, for example buying us mango sticky rice, coconut pudding and local cakes. They even took us to a coconut farm when we mentioned our interest. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Bangkok and all thanks to BKK Tours. They provided excellent service and value for money and we’d highly recommend them.read moreread lessDenise P.07 Aug 2024
- Amazing day in Bangkok. I simply cannot say enough about our experience with BKK and our tour guide Air. The vehicle was pristine and comfortable— seats reclined and were spacious. Water provided throughout the trip. Air was extremely knowledgeable and had personal connections with many of the vendors she patronized on our behalf. Highly recommend. Air made this tour - extremely knowledgeable and took the time to answer all our questions and share “her” Thailand with us. Thank you!!!read moreread lessBangkok Highlights tour by minivanAudrey15 Jul 2024
- We had 2 families (4 adults, 4 teens) and booked this for our only day in Bangkok. We had a fantastic experience with our guide Air. The van transport was impressive, each time we returned to the van we had cold water and fresh cold towels. City traffic was busy, but Air used the time to offer information and answer all our questions. The flower and vegetable market was impressive, as were all the temples (where we never waited in line!). Even our long-tail boat ride was no waiting. Air had everything planned out, but was able to make some modifications on the fly. We had a fantastic lunch at the Navy Club, aided by Air who helped us communicate with staff. Overall, a fantastic day, and we were very impressed with Air and all the details.read moreread lessBangkok Highlights tour by minivanJon22 Jun 2024
