The app was simple to use, and i really enjoyed have the freedom to stop whenever something caught my attention , take photos, have a break or spend longer in the places i liked most. There was no pressure to keep up with a group , and the diretions made the route easy to follow. The experience inclued a great combination of local food recommendations , cultural places , hidden streets and interesting photos location . I discovered several places that i would never have noticed or found by searching online. Food and drinks are not inclued on the booking prive but i actually prefered this because i could decide what i wanted to try. There are eight different food and drink recommendations along the route , and ever after sampling several dishes , snacks and drinks. I spent less than $15 on total. Considering how much food tours in Bangkoke can cost i thought this offered excellent value. It felt well researched genuinely local and thoughtfully put together . I would highly recommended it to anyone who wants to ser more of Bangkok than the usual tourist attractions.
