You won’t regret it!

We did two days with guides. It was the best decision! We had Oil for our first day. It felt like hanging out with a friend. She shared her favorite Thai restaurant with us and showed us so much of the city highlights. We throughly enjoyed our time! The second day we were with Apple. She was very knowledgeable of the city. She took us to the grand palace and Wat Po. We were supposed to go to Wat Arun but there was a rehearsal happening in the river. We did get to see that but it was disappointing that she didn’t know about the rehearsal beforehand. We could have done Wat Arun first. She had a couple things on her list that we had done the day before. We still had a great day and she improvised. Having the same guide would have helped so the plan would have been put together better. Still totally worth it and I will recommend using them to anyone coming to Bangkok.

Wawa(Kook) is an excellent guide to us

Wawa (Kook) was an outstanding guide during our three days in Bangkok. She was warm, enthusiastic, proactive, and very attentive to everyone in our group. Thanks to her excellent guidance, we not only enjoyed the beauty of Thailand but also gained a deeper understanding of its history and culture. She made our Bangkok experience truly memorable. We highly recommend Wawa and sincerely hope UME Travel will recognize her for her exceptional service!

Private guided tour in Bangkok and markets

Superb experience with this operator. Our guide Apple was great, she was very knowledgeable and funny and felt like a friend showing you around her city. We spent three days with her and always adapted to our plans. She took us to local eateries that we would’ve never found on our own (or any social media) and were amazing and cheap. Also taught us how to use local transportations and many more useful tips. 5 out of 5!!!

Bangkok private day tour

We spent the day exploring Bangkok with the wonderful Joker. Joker planned a day that suit our travel style perfectly and shared so much incredible knowledge and history of beautiful Bangkok. Joker helped us see a different side of Bangkok and introduced us to so many delicious foods. We were so grateful to spend the day with Joker and already look forward to booking for our next trip!

Two amazing days exploring Bangkok off the beaten path..

I had the privilege of spending two full days with KiKi it was an amazing experience to have her as my tour guide. She is flexible and can adapt and change on the fly. Her English is excellent and she knows how to have fun. If you like to eat, she will introduce you to all sorts of wonderful food. She is funny and smart and you will definitely enjoy your tour with her. Next time I am in Bangkok I will be a repeat customer.

Outstanding private tour of Bangkok

We spent the day with Choochai and it was an excellent experience. His knowledge is broad and goes well beyond the sites themselves. He tells genuinely interesting stories along the way. He is also a nice guy who clearly wants you to enjoy Thailand, not just tick off a list. I would book him again without hesitation.

One Day in Bangkok

Guide Oil showed us everything we asked to see, expertly navigated public transport with us, shared lots of information and found lots of great food for us to enjoy. I would recommend Guide Oil to anyone visiting Bangkok.
