This review was originally posted on Get Your Guide

I booked the day via Get Your Guide. Shortly after booking, Your Thai Guide sent me a confirmation e-mail.

I picked my sites to see and e-mailed them back. I have booked four months in advance to my trip to Thailand. Approximately a month before my arrival in Bangkok, Your Thai Guide again confirmed my booking and sent me a photo of Swai, my guide and asked for a photo from me, for easy recognition. On the 25 April Swai picked me up in my hotel in Bangkok and we shortly discussed the planning of the day. We then explored Bangkok with public transport.

I had an amazing day with Swai, he explained a lot and was always joking around and we had a nice time. We were finished with my planned activities earlier than thought and he came up with other nice things to see, especially the King’s Art Exhibition. I can definitely recommend this private tour in Bangkok, especially with Swai!

I would book again!

Elena war pünktlich im Hotel und hat uns genau das Programm erklärt, wir durften auch jederzeit Änderungen vornehmen und Wünsche äußern. Sie war perfekt organisiert und informiert, wir haben sehr viel über Bangkok und Thailand gelernt.

Elena war super sympathisch und hilfsbereit und hat uns einen tollen Tag in Bangkok beschert.

Sehr zu empfehlen!

I booked two tours with Your Thai Guide; one of Bangkok city sights and the other out to Ayutthaya. The service and consideration of the company, and our guide Joker, made our experience so special.

Coming to Thailand during the mourning period for King Rama IX meant some of the sites were closed, free, or had different hours. Joker did a wonderful job modifying my itinerary to accommodate these closures and still make the overall experience one I won’t forget!

I would highly suggest the Ayutthaya day trip option. It was wonderful to get out of the city and see the historical sites of the old Capitol. Having an air conditioned van with cold water and cold towels between the stops really helped this American manage the Thai heat!

Absolutely wonderful experience! Great way to see Bangkok in one day.

Our guide was the best. He was so friendly, informative and fun.

This is the perfect way to see a lot of Bangkok if you have limited time.

We returned to Bangkok 6 months later with another group of family members who never visited Bangkok and we did not hesitate to contact YTG again. We spent the entire day going to all the landmarks in the city, accompanied by Swai.

We then hired him again a week later to take us to the Floating Market, the Train Market and the Tiger Sanctuary.

We highly recommend the YTG team from the initial booking, email correspondence and most importantly, the fun factor! We were with Joker back in September 2016 and he was equally fun.

We highly recommend this tour. Do not try seeing the city or the temples on your own, you will miss out on so much.

Our guide Joker was friendly, knowledgeable, flexible, prepared, intelligent, thoughtful, fun, and an expert when it came to Thai cooking and way of life. He made the complex history of Bangkok very easy to understand, and he made us want to learn more.

Joker pushed us to try new things and to fully respect the customs and history of Bangkok. He made sure that we were appropriately dressed and appeared respectful when entering temples. He taught us a few Thai phrases and how to interact with vendors, monks, and fellow citizens of Bangkok.

We learned and experienced so much in a short amount of time. Joker was a lot fun and interesting in learning from us as well. His love for Thailand and the city of Bangkok was very easy to see. His passion for spicy Thai food was contagious and pushed us to enjoy and experience as much as we could while in the country.

The smile and laugh of the Thai people is genuine and he showed us how much this country has to offer.

I’m so happy I booked with this agency, Elena was one of the best guides I’ve ever had.

She was very knowledgeable about every place we visited in Bangkok and Ayutthaya, and wonderful to talk to and hang out with.

She even continued to look after me when she was off the clock. When it came time to leave Bangkok, she waited at the train station with me and made sure I was safely on the correct one.

I would recommend this service to anybody.

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.

My day started with the tour guide being on time and telling me about our plan for the day, as we arrived to the tiger zoo it was great since I was the first one there.

We then went to go eat and had a great lunch meal.

Our driver was great as well.

I would like to give thanks to both my guide and driver for making my day great.

Provided excellent service.

Very Professional and Knows Everything. The tour feels like you are at home walking around learning history with your friend. This is the best way to get around Bangkok if you have a limited time here.

A+ would recommend over and over again.

Michelle B. reviews Trin ‘Dew’ Nakprasert

This review was originally posted on Viator

I initially approached Your Thai Guide as I thought I would be sight seeing around Bangkok on my own. A couple of friends from the tour I just finished decided they would join me and they were really pleased they did.

Guide Dew was fantastic.

We covered everything in the day that we had requested to see but it did not feel too rushed. It took the stress out of navigating busy Bangkok on our own.

It definitely was worth the money and I think was good value for money.

We even ate lunch in a more local place that we would never have found or gone to if we had not been with Dew. We had fantastic pad Thai and got to try the pork satay that actually gets exported.

Dew was very knowledgeable and answered any questions we had.

A great day out.

Just spent a day in Bangkok with a family with 4 teenagers (boys and girls).

Dew was our great guide, knowing exactly where to go, keeping our wishes at heart and more. We hadn’t anticipated a orchid farm for example or a 15 minute workshop how to fold lotus flowers.

We got the most of the day incl China town, India town, Grand Palace, Temple of the Golden Buddha, orchid farm, Klong boat trip, tuk tuk, boat bus, coffee and lunch in great local places and even remembered the birthday of one of our girls with a small present.

We all loved the day.

We hired a guide for 2 days. You get 8 hours for a very reasonable price. You determine your itinerary and you have all inflexibility you want.

Our guide was Nina and she was great.

She knew. A lot, was flexible and funny and showed us some of the typical highlights, but also brought us to some local restaurants and we ended with a great Thai boxing match were she was able to get us on the picture with the winner of the main match.

We had many guides in different places, and Nina ranked in the top!

Also the communication with the management went very well, always responsive.

I could not have done all of Bangkok chedi and temples without you. My deepest thank you.

Elena has excellent English comprehension to explain all the Thai culture. We shared a great day.

Elena will explain all the history in detail which I wanted to know as I came to study culture and history. She meet my time schedule at Hotel early am. We laid out the destinations and then left. Elena is very conscious of when you need a cold water and break. Which is a good bond with a private guide.

We never stopped; She used all modes of transport in city and taught me.We visited the Grand Palace in detail; then the 5 Great Wat’s had a fun lunch together. Then back to my hotel when she saw I was exhausted at 6pm.

Oh and I got to shop for Thai silk.

If you are lucky enough to have Elena as your guide you are blessed.

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.

Andra P. reviews Swai Hapoo-Riwat

This review was originally posted on Get Your Guide

Our family spent two days touring with Swai and had an amazing time. Swai was a dedicated guided who did everything in his power to ensure we had a great tour. I was impressed by how easily Swai was able to make adjustments to suit our time constraints and wants as the tour progressed each day.

He endured stifling heat with great stamina and no complains to walk with us to each location, chase down tuk tuks for us ect. He knew that our hotel was difficult to find so he wrote out detailed instructions for us to show cab drivers so that we could get around with ease when we were not with him. He worked overtime for us and almost didn’t let us pay him for it. He was such a nice man, very knowledgeable and above all dedicated.

I would recommend Swai to anyone looking for a personalized guide experience and for a guide that will go above and beyond for his customers.

Our experience visiting the temples of Bangkok would never be the same without our guide Elena. She is so passionate about Thai history and culture, and we learned so much from her.

We had an absolutely fantastic time!

Thank you Elena for you patience and knowledge, and YTG for the excellent service.

We had Dew as our guide for two days and it was a great experience.

Very flexible, knew the best places to go, did everything that we asked, and even changed our itinerary at the last minute at our request. Our 8-year-old loved it, despite the heat of the day and the long rides.

Great recommendations for lunch, too!

I highly recommend this service, especially for first time visitors like myself.

Elena was a charming and knowledgeable guide. There is no way we would have had the same experience without her. In addition, they were able to coordinate our transportation for our travels outside of Bangkok.

Even when we changed our plans on short notice, they accommodated us without issue.

We had a lovely day with Elena from Your Thai Guide on our personalized trip in Bangkok. We made the most of it and truly enjoyed our day with this lovely human being.

We felt like we were learning about the culture, the history and the way of life in Thailand and making a new friend at the same time! Thank you Elena! We had a great day!

Elena was the best that happened to us in Bangkok! Friendly, polite, informative and interactive…she made our day! Be it pouring out the history of the places we visited, to hailing cabs to translating to Thai to bargain, she did it all.

Helped us profoundly. Deeply appreciated.

We wish her all the best!
