    Bangkok hidden gems

    "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! ❤️"

    Fun and flexible tour round Bangkok

    "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"

    Great Tour

    "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. "
