Reviews on Bangkok Flower Market Tour

Sophie- I had a great evening. I felt very comfortable to explore the market with Bob and his co-host (I’m a solo female traveller). They were genuinely kind and friendly people whom I enjoyed spending time with. They were so helpful with their knowledge of the flower market and its side streets, something I was very interested in knowing more about. The food was great (inclusive of the toast… you’ll find out). I’m so glad I did this tour!

Claudia –Beautiful tour in order to get to know different corners of Bangkok and taste delicious food in places that otherwise we would not have known how to find! It was all very pleasant, like having friends who accompany you to get to know their city. I recommend this experience!!

Flavia – Really fantastic personalized attention, excellent choice of places!
