Bangkok Food Tours is a pioneer tour service already known worldwide through numerous international media features. It’s 100% Thai-owned, so we’re proud to have this local brand reach these heights.

This company brings tourists to different parts of Bangkok (and other cities) to sample different cuisines — street food, historical cuisine, or grandma-style cooking. Customers can choose a day or night and multi-day tours, but these are only in English.

Most tours are private and limited to two to eight persons, but there are also tours with crowds as large as 16 people, where joiners or people who travel alone are welcome. The tour guides are also friendly, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable, making the tour tons better.

Its most popular tours are the Historic Bangrak Tour (a.k.a. Thailand’s Best Tour Program Awardee of the Thai government in 2013) and the Bangkok Midnight Food Tour, both of which will make you try famous foods from local restaurants and food shops that have stood the test of time. 

Perhaps being a famous tour also has its drawbacks.

Some tourists considered the tour as already ordinary and were looking for a variety and new types of food to try. Moreover, some tourists noticed crowding at the food stops, attributed to other food tour groups in the same areas.

We hope these tours will continue to evolve like the cuisines they showcase.

Another good experience that you can have in Bangkok is a boat tour. If you plan to do so, you can check out Pandan Tour.

This company has won Tripadvisor’s Certificate of Excellence for five consecutive years (2011 to 2016). It also boasts a long list of satisfied clients, old and new, including the Ambassador of Denmark to Thailand.

Pandan Tour offers boat tours all across Bangkok. Tourists visit the city’s floating markets, smaller canals, and Buddhist temples.

The main selling point of Pandan Tours’ offerings is that these centre on the local lifestyle and take you away from tourist traps, so think twice if you’re looking for famous places. 

It’s a little pricey, costing around THB 2,000 to 2,500 per person a day depending on the tour, but we think it’s worthwhile. 

Pandan Tour is very transparent on the pricing. It clearly states whatever is included in your fees, like the tour guide’s transportation costs going to the tour’s starting point, your insurance, food, or a van to pick you up from your hotel. 

You can quickly pay your tour fee via PayPal in advance or cash on the day of the tour.

Pandan Tours’ guides are superstars since they are English-speaking, very witty, humorous, and knowledgeable about the tour itinerary. One excellent guide’s name that came up frequently during our talk with past customers is Ms. Nui.

Not everyone enjoys a tour with total strangers. That’s where Mandy’s Bangkok Guide Smile comes in.

Bangkok Guide Smile is a private tour provider in Bangkok owned and operated by its only tour guide, Mandy. She’s popular since she’s one of Tripadvisor’s Traveler’s Choice awardees for 2022.

Mandy has many itineraries available for tourists, as seen on her website. She guides solo travellers, couples, families, or other groups through temples, markets, and other tourist spots.

Members of her tours travel comfortably between stops via an air-conditioned van. Rules and regulations of her tours are well-detailed on her website, so the conduct of her business is very orderly. 

Many of her clients love her well-curated itineraries, timeliness, intuitiveness, and adaptability. She treats each tour member with utmost attention and care, much like one treats a beloved friend. 

The only real downside to Bangkok Guide Smile is its price. Since its tours are private (or perhaps even like VIP treatment), these are pricier than average. 

For inquiries, it’s best to reach Mandy using her site’s contact page; she answers customer inquiries via email within 24 hours. Although she has a phone line, she does not answer calls since she is, most of the time, in the middle of a tour. 

If you want to see a new side of Bangkok, then Go Bangkok Bike Tours might be the one for you.

It offers day and night bicycle and e-scooter tours at reasonable rates. So if you’re not that physically active, be ready to sweat it out on tour day.

It has plenty of tour packages to choose from, with each being a different area in Bangkok. The shortest tour lasts for about 2 hours, while the longest one takes the whole day or 8 hours.

This is a very intimate tour that travels in tiny groups of five or six people. So you’ll get to know both your tour guide and the places you’re going to very well. 

Go Bangkok Bike Tours cares about your well-being since there’s a safety video or orientation before each tour, and the tour guides have first aid kits. The tour fee also includes the cost of food.

There’s just one downside. Since it’s a bike tour, regular tourists would have difficulty taking pictures alone, so the tour guide does it. 

If you do not communicate that well with your tour guide about the photos taken during your tour, you may not be able to get a copy of them.

Co van Kessel Tours specialises in providing bicycle, boat, train, and walking tours. The shortest offering it has is a two-hour walking tour of Bangkok’s Chinatown, while its most extensive tour is a 9-hour, all-day bicycle, boat, and train tour of Bangkok. 

There is no doubt about the professionalism of Co van Kessel tour guides. The management is also very organised, starting with its aesthetically pleasing website. 

Co van Kessel Tours’ overall quality is generally excellent. But it does come with a few downsides. 

For one, most customers we’ve talked to told us that the bike tours of the “real” Bangkok are fast-paced and too overrated and expensive compared to competing tour agencies. 

Customers felt as if they were borderline trespassing on people’s homes, they were merely passing by nondescript neighbourhoods, and tour guides did not explain stuff. However, the overall attitude of the tour guides is excellent. 

Food is already provided on tour; however, the quality also varies. Some customers told us they only got chips and soda, while others were luckier to have fresh fruit.

Nevertheless, Co van Kessel Bangkok is a reputable and legitimate tour agency that can give you a tour of Bangkok without rose-coloured glasses.

We also appreciate that they let you immerse yourself in the culture of Bangkok, Thailand. Canal tours aren’t the only thing they’re known for, though, since they can also provide you with walking and bus tours.

Compared to other establishments, we appreciate that they offer a lot more deals. They offer benefits to past guests and people who simply want to book with them early. How great is that?

Plus, their online reviews have simply raved about how accommodating and friendly their guide was. Though this type of tour is a bit shorter than others, all in all, we would definitely recommend them!

Past reviews have even emphasized how organized everything was, which is definitely something you’re looking for when it comes to overseas trips.

However, there have been some comments about difficulty in communication. This is primarily due to the language barrier, though, but it was still pretty easily overcome.

All in all, we definitely recommend them for your next trip to Bangkok!

Tuk tuk is a form of transformation that is unique only to Thailand. They may seem simple, but it’s definitely a must for you to try if you’re in the area.

Luckily Bangkok TUK TUK Tour can help you accomplish this! They allow you to roam the streets of Bangkok and taste all the street foods that everyone’s raving about.

It is important to note that they only offer night tours, though, so it may be difficult to fit into your itinerary if ever you’re mostly free in the evenings.

Aside from this, we’ve heard complaints of some of the riders raising the fair prices more than the standard.

Overall, though there are some concerning things we’ve heard about the quality of service they offer, we would recommend them for those who can talk their way through more difficult situations.

SiamRise Travel was founded in 2014 by Mr. & Mrs. Supangkaratana. Unlike other companies, their main goal is to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Challenges.

They make this possible by specializing in cultural tours & responsible travel DMC. All activities and experiences have been co-created with the locals to consider the social impact on the communities.

We like how experienced they are at catering to clients of different nationalities and giving them the right value for money. 

They also have detailed and complete information on their website, which is an advantage as it helps travelers who are browsing their site. 

Furthermore, they offer their services at a reasonable price that is equal to or more than the services to be provided. 

However, we do note that there is room for improvement when it comes to the consistency of their service quality.

The majority of the feedback and the good reputation Secret of Siam Co has built over the years show the quality of service and expertise offered by the company. Therefore, we do recommend Secret of Siam Co to people looking for an unforgettable experience in Thailand.

A Bangkok travel agency that makes every tourist’s trip worthwhile by providing unique e-scooter and bike tour packages.

We like how knowledgeable and experienced their tour guides are, since they are locals with years of experience doing their jobs and a wealth of knowledge about the area. 

Most importantly, we appreciate their everyday availability and commitment to providing a quality and unique tour package service.

However, since they are known for e-scooter and bike tour packages, they can only tour people around the vicinity. So long rides and far-flung-area tours are unavailable. 

However, the adventure and breath of fresh air they offer, along with the extensive experience of the tour guides, make this an exceptionally worthwhile investment.

Hence, we recommend Bangkok Funride to people who want to make a lasting impression in Thailand.

Bangkok By Bike offers tourists a unique experience in one of the most interesting cities in the world.

Just by their name you’d know that they offer bike tours around the city. This way, you can come close to the culture, and the people and their daily lives.

What we like about the experience they offer is that they choose to bring people to new places they can discover. They stray away from the famous attractions and show more behind the curtain places for a more genuine experience.

You don’t have to worry about the bike tour though because they bike at a relaxed tempo and there’s definitely time to stop to pull out your camera and take photographs.

These tours are suitable for all ages as well!

You can also choose from a half day trip or a night tour. There’s also a walking tour available for those who don’t want to bike but still want to experience an authentic tour of Bangkok.

We like that the prices are pretty much all inclusive and you wouldn’t have to pay extra unless you’re going to personally shop.

If you want a customized tour, they can also tailor a private tour for you and your group.

Their guides are knowledgeable and friendly, and they add to the fun of the experience by how well they can interact with the group. We highly recommend!
