Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Had the best afternoon walking around with Artty. His knowledge of the area in next to none (it is his home town) and his ability to tell a story keeps you captivated. We went from district to district along with the perfect story on how everything came about throughout history and how it was all connected to modern day Bangkok. Artty was happy to discuss any off topic subjects and also offer his own opinions. Just needed to give him a shout and we'd stop for multiple photo opportunities, as well as him suggesting some great photo angles not to be missed. All round great experience thanks again Artty!"
"I had such a great time with Attry on his urban jungle tour. It really is off the beaten path and brought me into areas I would have never stumbled upon myself otherwise. Many picture worthy spots that also show the true lifestyle of locals aside from all of the flashy touristy areas. Attry is patient, very knowledgeable about his city and fun to go exploring with. I can highly recommend him and this tour."
"We had an unforgettable private tour through Bangkok with our amazing guide, Aoi. The experience started with a fun and breezy TikTuk ride through the bustling streets of Bangkok and Chinatown, followed by a visit to the vibrant flower market. From there, we boarded a private longboat and cruised along the river, passing riverside homes, local businesses, and temples. One of the highlights was stopping to feed the catfish—a surprisingly fun and memorable moment! We also visited the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, which was even more impressive than we expected. Aoi guided us through the temple grounds, sharing the stories and meanings behind the statues, pagodas, and panels. She even pointed out a panel painted by her friend’s mother, which made the experience feel even more personal and special. To wrap up the day, we enjoyed cool drinks at a rooftop bar with an incredible view of the river and Bangkok skyline. Throughout the tour, Aoi took tons of photos for us, helping us capture memories we’ll treasure. This tour was the perfect way to end our time in Bangkok. When we return, we’ll absolutely book another tour with this company—and hopefully with Aoi again!"

"Artty was a fantastic guide. He gave me a wonderful tour through back streets, alleys, and areas that would have been very difficult to discover independently. He explained the history and background to everything and I felt I had a walking window on the people, traditions, and culture of what we will see! I recommend both Artty and the tour I went on as highly as possible!"
"Thank you Artty for sharing your Bangkok knowledge with us. I truly enjoyed every minute. "
"Artty was a terrific truly local guide. We immediately started off walking down alleys and seeing sights that my husband and I would have had no idea about. It definitely felt like we were on a hidden tour. Once you have seen the amazing tourist spots, this type of tour to go see more local things is really special. Artty grew up in the area we walked and he appeared to know everyone. We really cannot recommend this tour enough - you will not be disappointed. "
"The entire family (kids 7 and 11) enjoyed the tour of Chinatown with Moddy. She was very knowledgeable and flexible. She made the tour interesting for both kids and adults and shared a lot of tips and insights so that we were able to enjoy Chinatown and the different food outlets there on our own the day after the tour. "
"Not the typical food and temple tour you can get in Bangkok. Artty will show you sides of the city you would normally never see and does it with such charm and humour. Can highly recommend this three hour ramble through the city. "
"She’s incredibly knowledgeable and an absolute joy to spend the day with. You will love your time with her. "
