"What a wonderful guide and tour. Artty was very excited to show us his neighborhood and the background of the area. He provided informative context of what we were seeing. Amazing tour. Exceptional value for the effort and time put into it."
"Arrty, thank you for this truly wonderful morning! We learned so much about your country and your culture and discovered so many really interesting things.
I want to be honest: yesterday I said to my husband, “Phew, Bangkok isn’t necessarily a city for me. It’s too hectic, too dirty, and too loud for my taste.” But after spending the morning with you, I got to see a really beautiful side of Bangkok. I think I would love to come back one day and take more time to discover some of the little hidden gems.
My 17 years old son said that today it really wasn’t “too deep,” which is actually a huge compliment — it means it was really good!
Thank you so much! ❤️"
"Enthousiaste gids! Veel geleerd over het leven in Bangkok! Verrassende plekken bezocht, waar we zelf nooit aan hadden gedacht. Artty is een echte verhalenverteller. Bedankt voor de leuke en interessante middag!"
"We loved meeting Mrs Mod, who was enthusiastic and very friendly. She had a wealth of knowledge of all things Bangkok and we felt we had a good rootle round the back streets and off the beaten track. She was up against it with 2 very jet lagged customers but she pitched it at just the right level for us. We loved the long tailed boat trip around the canals, as well as the tuk tuk to the flower, and Chinese, markets. The flower market was a marvel of flower craft. The tour was quite expensive but we felt we had value for money. I would highly recommend Mrs Mod, and we will remember her for her knowledge, kindness and her infectious laugh. As well as for reciting the full name of the King! Thank you x"
"It was a perfect day! We learned some interesting details about Bangkok and Thailand, went through hidden alleys, with a lot of picturesque corners, had an amazing view from a nice rooftop bar and finally enjoined some grate street food! Artty always looked out for us an perfectly matched ours pace, we would immediately book him again…. So, perfect!"
"We had a great time with Arty. We saw a side of Bangkok that we would not have seen. His knowledge is great and he keeps the entire trip interesting. And also great restaurant recommendations. Best tour we’ve had in Bangkok!"
"The tour was just me and Artty. I was on a work trip so couldn’t do day time tours but I sent Artty a message and he was able to create a tour for me. It was nice walking around and hearing about the history of the area. It also helped me to find some food gems. I would highly recommend Artty. His English was great and he’s really nice. "
"Arti was just the best guide I could have wished for. He was knowledgeable and caring with excellent English. I am so glad I found him and can't recommend him enough. Don't hesitate to book him you won't be disappointed! 😁"
