Meeting Guide Jean

Because of the professionalism and expertise of Guide Jean, we hired him again to give an introductory tour of Bangkok to a college student group.

He successfully led a group of 13 of us through the city on the BTS, water transportation and walking tours to the Grand Palace, local markets and the Khao San Road district.

We hired Jean to lead a group back in January 2015, and plan to ask him to guide us again when we return with a new group in January 2018. Thanks YTG and Jean!

From organizing till the end of the tour we got a very good service..

Customer service by mails is prompt and accurate.

Our tour guide , Jean, was very friendly and had a good knowledge about the places we visited.

Overall it was a good experience and I recommend that.

Nice tailored trip for wheelchair.

I was not able to really walk due to a surgery in Thailand.

Jean helped me to choosing two hotspots that were possible to visit with a wheelchair.

He pushed me in the wheelchair and carried the (empty) wheelchair if needed.

Very, very nice. He answered all of my difficult questions.

A true guide!

Thank you Jean, I loved our little trip.

We recently visited Bangkok for a 3 night stay, none of us had been there previously, on recommendation from friends who been there in 2016, we booked a guide through, Your Thai Guide.

Their website is so easy to navigate, we made contact through their website, we received a very prompt response, they were so helpful and made the whole process simple. Whilst we had ideas of what to visit, their help and understanding helped us get the most from our limited time in an amazing city.

Our guide on day 1 was Jean, a very knowledgeable guide, we had an excellent day, the guide company had also booked us an evening dinner cruise on a converted rice barge, the arrangements made for us worked like clockwork.

Day 2 we had Nina as our guide, she was great, again, very knowledgeable but also very personable.

The only reason we had differing guides was because we left it late to book, my tip would be, book as soon as possible, everyone we had contact with at Your Thai Guide was very prompt, they could not have been more helpful, we would certainly use them if (when) we are heading back to Bangkok.

Great way to see the temples.

Our tour guide was knowledgeable and very kind.

One of the best tours we’ve ever taken. Our guide Jean custom tailored our entire day for us we got to see the grand Palace, Wat Pho, took an amazing long boat cruise, had fantastic street food at the floating market (completely safe & clean) and ended the tour in Chinatown.

Best part of the trip: we adapted the tour every step we took and changed our itinerary based on everyone’s moods.

Highly, highly recommended and a great bargain.

I booked our private tour with Your Thai Guide using the website with few days in advance.

Speedy response and at the end of the day we loved our tour and Guide Jean. We spent 2 days with him visiting Bangkok main Wats and Palaces and the old capital.

Despite the heat we were well served.

Jean showed great knowledge and wiliness to explain every question we had.

Was a great tour with guide and friend Jean! Took us around and patiently assisted with all queries!

Saw the temples, did a boat ride and lunch!

Great way to learn city. Has a book of great ideas or will do whatever you want.

Would recommend to any who is traveling alone, or with a small group!

Jean, the guy who assigned to our trip was very nice person. His expertise as a tour guide was made our trip become wonderful experience. Thanks to him, we enjoy learning background and history of each of temples and Thailand royal family.

We could visit and see any sightseeing spots, but a great tour guide will make the visit more wonderful and fruitful experience. It’s worth to try!!

Great experience thank you Jean!

Even if I had visited Bangkok several times during the last 25 years, I decided to take a guide in Bangkok as my mom has never been in Bangkok before. Our desire was, to see the main sights Grand Palace and Laying Buddha, but also local market which is not too touristy.

Jean impressed with his excellent English but also with his knowledge about Thai history, culture and habits. It was worth it! Thank you Jean.

I contacted this company when I arrived in Bangkok at about 2:30 a.m. By 7:00 a.m., I received an email that they could accommodate my request for a 2 day personal guide. I paid by PayPal, and Jean had the hotel call my room when he arrived.

Jean arrived promptly, and spoke English well. He was very open with his country, and was able to answer my 1,000 questions. He was kind, willing to do everything I wanted, and he looked out for my safety, as well.

The first day, we discussed all the options, and we visited all the major sites in Bangkok. The second day, we visited Ayutthaya, Thailand for the whole day. We took a cab (as it was cheaper than the private car that was offered by the company), and per my request, stopped at numerous ancient temples. We also walked over to where a movie was being filmed, and we fed baby elephants. Jean accompanied me into the bat caves in tiny temples, and gave me honest feedback about his country and all the sites that we visited.

Jean was also very knowledgeable about history, both of his country and of neighboring regions. He was also very tall, so I never lost him in a crowd. He was able to give me important information such as some Thai words, Thai cooking, Thai culture, and even more.

Apart from this company, if you have specific questions on itinerary, please feel free to PM me through TripAdvisor.

I would highly recommend Jean with Thai Guide.

I booked a tour for Grand Palace and Temples in Bangkok with YTG. The booking process was swift.

Jean called me a day before the tour and was right on time the next morning. He was very accommodative as I took some time to make changes to my plan. On the boat trips, he kept explaining about some famous and some not-so-famous buildings and landmarks. He was very knowledgeable and has a deep insight into the history of Thailand.

He had a lot of exciting tales to tell. He was patient while answering my 100000+ never ending questions. Seeing my penchant for shopping, he helped me shop and negotiate the prices for souvenirs on the street markets.

On the way to Wat Arun, he was incredibly helpful and patient as I stopped on almost every second stall to buy or look at local stuff. He helped me getting my backpack (which was getting loose at the strap) fixed at a local shop and was very kind to walk back with me to get the fixed bag.

He’s very intelligent and understands the clients’ needs to rest, have water almost telepathically. He went according to my pace and I never felt rushed.

All in all, it was a fun filled day. If you’re looking to book with YTG, ask for Jean. You won’t regret it. 🙂

We made a last minute reservation to take a day tour and are so glad we did.

We went to a floating market, the Royal Grand Palace, and the Wat Pho temple. Jean provided a wealth of knowledge in context which made the cultural sites so much more fascinating.

We also loved having Jean guide us through the market – we wouldn’t have known what foods to choose and at which vendor otherwise!

Jean was great, we requested that after we do the usual tourist stuff to take us off the beaten path.

He took us to places and neighborhoods he goes by himself, but hasn’t taken any guests with him before.

We had a great time and wish we would have scheduled tour the first day in Bangkok!

Jean is a fantastic guide. My group of 13 college students and faculty hired Jean for our first day in Bangkok.

My request to him was to primarily make my students feel comfortable in the city. I asked him show them how to use the public transportation system and also asked him to use the system to get us around the city throughout the day.

We hopped on and off the Sky Train, Metro and the River Express taxis like pros. He took us to an awesome food market and gave us an expert tour of the Grand Palace. After the palace tour, he took us to a fun restaurant to relax after a long, hot day.

My students thought our day with Jean was the best! Not only did they enjoy him as a person and knowledgeable guide, he made them feel comfortable with the city. They were confident from that point on.

Thanks Jean!

We had organised a rush tour of only 6 hrs and had quite an extensive list of sites to visit.

Jean was early and we confirmed our day ahead plan. We utilized all forms of transport which was great,and found that we were never rushed given our time frame.

It was a great informative day taking in all of our requirements,and felt very comfortable with Jean and his knowledge.

We would highly recommend this way to see Bangkok if you do not want the hassle of finding your own way around.

The response was very quick and we booked a tour to visit the Bridge over the River Kwai, have a trip on the train and visit the Death museum. Pick up was arranged for 8.30 am and our guide was Jean who was very knowledgeable and easy to understand.

The trip was well organised and very enjoyable, the train journey was especially interesting travelling through the countryside over a lot of the original railway. It was good to be able to specify exactly what we wanted to do and not to have to visit places we were not particularly interested in.

We also had a very good driver and a comfortable air conditioned van, the trip was very good value for money. Thank you for a great day.

We organised a 1 day tour for our short stay in Bangkok and had Jean for our tour guide.

What a fabulously knowledgeable young man he was, we learnt so much about the history behind Buddha, the King and so much more. We were collected from our accommodation bang on time and were driven around in a beautifully airconditioned minivan. Water was provided for us and a much appreciated wet cloth after one of the stops. We ate authentic Thai for lunch and ordered what Jean recomended, wow! What a taste sensation.

Our day was a solid 8 hours, and we visited 4 stops all of our choosing. Make sure you have good sturdy shoes, an umbrella for shading or a big floopy hat. There was alot of walking but it is so worth it and you are not rushed at all, it’s all set at your own pace.

Jean was a super guide: relaxed, thorough, well-informed, gracious, and fun. His English was excellent and we didn’t have to “work” to understand him. Without being preachy or books, he was an excellent teacher. He gave us the perfect amount of information at each site that we visited and filled us in with further facts if we asked more questions.

We had a long day and he paced it well so that we saw everything we had wanted to see (at the time). We need lots more time to explore Bangkok.

I don’t think we truly appreciated Jean at the time but we have now had 3 more guides (in Vietnam) and they either couldn’t speak English or didn’t know their local history.
If we return to Bangkok we will call Jean again.

Many thanks for a really nice intro to Bangkok.

YTG provides great private tour services. The customer liaison, Primm, is very quick in responding to the inquiries and provides useful information.

Our tour guide, Jean, did an excellent job on effectively organizing the day. He is very friendly, patient, calm, and knowledgeable. He provided us lots of cultural and historical texts on the attractions we visited which certainly makes the visits more memorable.

The restaurant he took us for a local lunch was great.

His recommendation of traditional Thai message place is perfect with reasonable prices and wonderful services. He is very customer-oriented. He responded to what we need and did not try to sell any thing more or take us to visit any place more.

He was not pushy at all. We highly recommend Jean!

Jean was simply perfect. We had a long list of things we wanted to do in a short period of time. This was unrealistic, and Jean prepared a plan for the two days that worked really well. This was the first sign that we had a good tour guide and that we needed someone with his expertise to help us.

Jean was polite, calm, easy to get along with, and has a great sense of humour. All of these things made him the perfect guide for us.

We wanted a guide to show us around and take the stress out of the day without feeling like we were being shuffled from one place to the next without any care for what we wanted. In this sense, Jean was excellent for us. The two days ran so smooth for us, and everything was taken care of in advance with enough flexibility for us to change the plan along the way.

We felt like we were being taken around Bangkok by a friend rather than a tour guide, and in my opinion that is what made Jean a true professional. There were so many small things he did that showed us he is not just a great guide but also a great person.

I cannot speak more highly of Jean, and strongly recommend him as a tour guide.

Thanks Jean!
