My 17 year old daughter and I had a great canal tour (Portuguese settlement, klongs, temples, Buddha’s and Art Village) with our guide Ton. The pace was relaxed, we got lots of interesting information, very lively conversation, beverages and a tasty lunch (in an airconditioned restaurant right on the water). The quiet EV canal boat was definitely a plus. Ton also provided valuable recommendations on must do’s inside and outside of Bangkok and made sure we got on a taxi back to the hotel at the end of the tour. It was an enjoyable half day spent.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you and your daughter had such an enjoyable canal tour with Ton. We'll be sure to share your kind words with him—he'll be happy to know that his knowledge, recommendations, and hospitality helped make your day so memorable. We hope to welcome you both on another MagicalTrip tour in the future!
Highlight of our time in Bangkok, the tour was well paced allowing time to really experience each stop. Lovely stops for a cold beverage, lunch was wonderful. Our guide Ton was the best, helpful, informative and caring, highly recommend this tour 🙂 🙏
By Ton was great. He found us as we were early at the meeting point and introduced himself. He was very friendly and very nice to our child. It was great tour to be on and see more of Bangkok and understand more of the culture. Ton answered all of our questions. We would definitely go on more tours with Ton.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed exploring Bangkok with Ton and that he made your family feel so welcome. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again on another tour!
This experience was a great time. Super chilled, well paced, and varied. I felt I needed a short but broad tour as I was only in Thailand for a couple of days, and this hit the markers. Temple, old city architecture, traditional market, and boar ride on an EV boat, so less guilt there too! Out tour guide, Ton, was super friendly! He didn't make us feel rushed, and spoke great English too! I put on my booking form that I was vegetarian, and the restaurant we went to had plenty of options for me, and the food was great! Overall, a great half day trip, for the money, you cant really beat it!
Thank you very much for your kind review! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the relaxed pace and variety of the tour, and that it was a good fit for your short stay in Thailand. It’s great that you were able to experience the temples, old city architecture, local market, and EV boat ride comfortably. We’re also happy to hear that Ton made your experience enjoyable, and that the vegetarian options worked well for you. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again on another tour!
An experience off the beaten track, made of continuous discoveries rich in cultural and spiritual significance, led by a special guide, Uma, passionate, precise, attentive and very prepared. Both Uma and her colleague in the office were so patient to guide us to the meeting point, which we could not find because we got the wrong subway exit and they waited for us! The route is well thought-out and alternates walking experiences in unexpected areas in contact with locals and by electric boat between canals, where suddenly you will find yourself taking a trip back in time and seeing Bangkok's largest buddha. Top lunch with local dishes. Not only that, Uma gave us valuable tips to end our day in a splendid way Thank you very much! Day of indimenti
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed such a unique experience and that Uma made the tour so special with her passion, knowledge, and care. We’re also glad our team could assist you in finding the meeting point. It’s great that you enjoyed the mix of walking, local experiences, the boat ride, and the beautiful sights, as well as the local lunch. We’re happy Uma’s recommendations helped you enjoy the rest of your day as well. Thank you again for your kind words—we hope to see you again on another tour!
This was a fascinating tour that got to parts of Bangkok we never would have known about, and saw parts we did from a whole new perspective (on the canal). I won't spoil everything you'll see and do, but it's well worth your time to experience it. Our guide was Kaudao who was excellent. She was so knowledgeable and genuinely interested in sharing this with us. She even took us round the flower market before we started the full tour. We would have liked a little more time at Artist's House, but we saw so much on the day it would have been hard to pack it all on otherwise. Thoroughly recommend!
Pond was a very knowledgeable and helpful guide throughout the whole tour. A comfortable amount of time on land and water. Very Enjoyable trip, great for taking photos. Thanks Pond.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad to hear you had an enjoyable trip with Pond. His knowledge and helpfulness ნამდვილად make a big difference, and it’s great to know you appreciated the balance of time on land and water. It sounds like a perfect experience for relaxing and capturing some great photos! We’ll be sure to pass along your kind thanks to Pond. Hope to see you again on another tour soon!
This was my favorite trip in Bangkok! Our tour guide, Shin, was extremely knowledgeable about the tour and did his best to make sure we had a good time. It rained while we were touring and Shin provided umbrellas for each of us which was very nice and considerate. We did not feel rushed as we were given time to explore each location. Thonburi was my favorite part of Bangkok. The charm of the homes, the people, and the location gave an energy and vibe completely different than the bustling side of Bangkok. The views from the canal was incredible especially as we approached the Big Golden Buddha. The museums, cafes, and tucked away alleyways provided even further charm. Just visiting on this tour, confirmed that I will be staying in this area when I return to Thailand. Thank you Shin for this introduction and a great outing!!
Thank you so much for your amazing review! We're thrilled to hear that Shin made your Bangkok tour enjoyable and memorable, even in the rain. It’s wonderful that you could fully experience the charm of Thonburi and its unique vibe. We’re glad this tour gave you a great introduction, and we can’t wait to welcome you back to explore more of Thailand next time!
Super nice boat trip!!!! With visit to several temples. Especially the visit to the golden buddha was great! Be sure to visit the 5th floor!!! Wowww. 🙏🤩 We ended the tour with a delicious lunch in a restaurant in the Art House Area. 🙏🤩 Delicious Thai meal, crispy pork! 😋
Uma Is the best tour guide full stop
Thank you so much for your amazing comment! We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Uma. Hope to see you again on another tour soon!
