Beautiful tour around the canals and past the big buddha. We had a wonderful day on the boat. We paid for an English guide who was well worth it. Our guide was Pear who was excellent. She was so informative and good humoured. I would highly recommend paying for a guide as it was a positive addition. Bonus other than seeing the big buddha was the artist village as a stopover on the canal It was a great way to beat the heat but also was great because it was only 2 hours unlike a lot of tours where your whole day used up

Fabulous sunset canal cruise with our kids (12 & 10). Our guide was informative, upbeat and made the trip such fun for our kids. The breeze on the really well kept and decorated boat also made the Bangkok heat super manageable. Highly recommended

Hands down this tour is my childrens most favourite tour so far. This tour was uniquely different because we were given a fantastic glimpse of the Thai lifestyle, it was a personal view of local life during the Songkran festival. My kids loved it! and we started the tour with loud laughter and two soaking wet kids sitting in the front of the longtail boat with a loaded water pistol waiting to spray other tourists and locals along the way. Our tour guide was local and very friendly, we got to know him and he us, and it was lovely night understanding more about the history of the klongs, the diversity of the cultures and religions, the neighbourhoods and the impotance of the temples in Thai life. We made some fantastic memories and great pictures. Highly recommend this tour if you want to have a taste of the authentic thai life.

What a lovely and authentic experience. our guide Yoyo was charming, informative and patient 😇He also ensured our karma for the coming year is protected. Highly recommended this tour as it truly is a bit off the mainstream tourist path and allows you to not only see temples but, perhaps more importantly, how families live along the canals - from simple homes to unbelievable mansions, the community

Lovely slow canal tour with our guide Som. Private tour for three of us. Very knowledgeable on all the history. Stopped at the museum for a guided tour and photos of various tourist areas. Plenty of opportunities for photos as the boat was slowed for us. Water provided. Would certainly do again on our next visit.
