Guides such as Sasa, Kevin, Tony, and P are known for warm, engaging hosting.

“Tony was wonderful! He made sure to make us feel comfortable and welcome. Loved his sense of humor and range of knowledge about Bangkok. Jack, our driver was fun and used music to bridge the language gap, he may have been the most fun part of the experience! Only thing I would change is the meeting point, was difficult to find if you’re not arriving by train; but Tony waited for us in spite of our late arrival. I wish they didn’t make the tuk tuk drivers sing the city name song, was awkward for them and us.”
