Private Custom Tour with a Local Guide (6 or 8 hours)

We had a wonderful experience on our 8-hour private tour with our tour guide, Som, and our driver, Mr. Wat. They arrived at our hotel right on time, and we were able to share our preferred attractions and interests with Som at the beginning of the tour. Som was very knowledgeable and shared many interesting stories about the history and culture of the Grand Palace, the Reclining Buddha, and our canal tour. The timing throughout the day was perfect. We enjoyed lunch in Chinatown and also made stops for delicious coconut ice cream and at a famous mango sticky rice shop. We ended our final attraction at ICONSIAM and returned to hotel by 4:15pm. Mr. Wat was friendly, professional, and a safe driver, making our journey around Bangkok comfortable and relaxing. Overall, we had a fantastic time and really enjoyed the flexibility and personal attention of this private tour. Highly recommended such a comfortable and enjoyable way to explore Bangkok!

I had such a great time on my tour with Guide Katie. I did a custom tour of the Mekong Railway Market, Damnoen Saduak floating market and the Ban Don Kai Benjarong porcelain village to visit the Benjarong artisans in their workshops, browse their beautiful hand painted porcelain and to try my hand at it! From the customisation of the trip to the hotel pickup and being looked after so thoughtfully throughout the day by Katie and my driver - I would highly recommend to any visitor or expat living in Thailand, wanting to experience a slice of Thai market an artisanal life. Highlights included how lovely and kind our Ban Don Kai host was and how fun and knowledgable Katie was. 10 out 10 experience!!

Had the best time with Peter today! He took us to the Train Market, the Floating Market and the Dragon Temple. He was super nice the whole time and always making sure we were good. He even got us to try the coconut ice cream and the mango sticky rice… sooo worth it 😂. He was taking pictures of us all day too, which I really appreciated because now we have so many great memories without having to ask. We’ve done a lot of tours over the years and honestly he’s one of the best guides we’ve had. If you’re lucky enough to get Peter, you’re gonna have a great day. Thanks again Peter!!

We booked a private tour with Katie (booked via Nok - who we've used before and loved!). Katie guided our party of 11—ranging in age from 11 to 75—for a tour of the canals, Wat Paknam (Giant Buddha) and Wat Pho. Katie exceeded our expectations - she messaged us on WhatsApp beforehand with exact meeting details at Wat Pho (complete with an umbrella to spot her), was right on time and had all the boat logistics perfectly organized. Getting our multi-generational group on and off the boat at different stops was effortless! She speaks brilliant English, chats easily with all ages, takes loads of fun photos! and found us an amazing local lunch spot. (Only tiny tip for future boat trips: longtail engines are loud, so don't be afraid to ask her to project a bit on the water for all her useful knowledge!). Katie is a fantastic guide. We can't recommend her highly enough!

This was a great day out. You can choose your own agenda and tweak it as the day goes on as you feel which was great. The car was clean and they kept it clean in between outings. Every time we got back in the car we have fresh cold towels and cold water! We left early to avoid traffic, went to the Train Market first. She took some great pics of us with the train. Then we went to get pictures with tigers which was not planned. Next the water market was a good trip we did both the boat and walked it. Poppy knows everyone there since she is through there so much. Next we drove by the giant swing to get some pictures sadly it was under construction. Next we went to Wat Pho to get some great pictures also. She is pretty knowledgeable about the sites. Lastly we went to see Wat Arun from across the river. We were going to go to the sky walk but were pretty spent after all that so decided to ditch that which was fine as our 8 hours were coming to an end. There was an option to get an unlimited amount of time that included admissions after we booked. We haven't done that math yet but that would have probably been a better deal than paying for everything as we went along. Would totally recommend a day with Poppy! She made sure to turn the day into a food tour also as we also indicated that we were interested in tasting things along the way. She did this all at her expense and it was VERY appreciated.

Excellent experience and value for money. We traveled in a very comfortable van and went for a day outside bangkok. Boudha temple and dragon temple were incredible. Lunch at the bubble in the forest cafe was excellent. We couldn’t miss the railway market. The guide was super nice and knowledgeable explained all the temples history and the Thai culture. Perfect day !

Our guide, Katie, was truly exceptional and one of the highlights of our trip to Bangkok. She is incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and has a wonderful sense of humour that made every tour enjoyable. Katie has a remarkable ability to bring history to life—she patiently explained the stories and significance behind each place in a way that was engaging, interactive, and never once felt boring. Beyond her expertise, Katie is simply a kind and genuine person who goes out of her way to help everyone around her. She was always attentive without being intrusive, giving our group the perfect balance of privacy while stepping in whenever we needed assistance or guidance. She also has a fantastic eye for photography and knew exactly where to take us for the best pictures, helping us capture memories we'll cherish forever. Katie's professionalism, passion, and caring nature made our experience truly unforgettable. We couldn't have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Bangkok. Thank you, Katie, for making our trip so special!

This is the second time we have used Katie as a guide on Bangkok. Our kids specifically requested that we have a day with her again if we came back. She did not disappoint and everyone had a great day. She is also like having Disneyphoto pass with you all day and so now we have lots of family pics too. If you are debating getting a guide just do it.

We had an excellent experience in Chiang Mai! The pickup, drop-off, and tour schedule were perfectly on time, making the entire day smooth and stress-free. Our tour guide, Maylee, driver, and vehicle were all outstanding. Our guide consistently went above and beyond to ensure everything was seamless, always checking that we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. Her attention to detail and genuine care made the trip even more memorable. Highly recommended!

We had an amazing experience with NOC Travel in Chiang Mai. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. Our guide, Maylee, was exceptional—friendly, knowledgeable, and made every tour enjoyable with her insights and warm personality. The car was comfortable, and our driver was professional, punctual, and ensured we had a safe and smooth journey throughout. We highly recommend NOC Travel to anyone visiting Chiang Mai. Thank you for making our trip so memorable!
