Private Bangkok City Tour with Local Guide: Customize Your Day
Build your Bangkok day around what you actually want to see
A private guided tour of Bangkok where you set the itinerary, not the operator. A local English-speaking guide recommends routes and attractions based on your interests, and you spend as much or as little time at each stop as you want within your booked hours. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included if you book the car option. The guide-only option lets you use public transportation instead. Admission fees are paid directly on the day.

The experience
The guide meets you at your hotel (or a location you choose) and works from a sample itinerary that includes the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, Temple of the Dawn, Temple of the Golden Buddha, Golden Mount, Bangkok Chinatown, and Pak Klong Talad Flower Market, but these are suggestions only. You decide which sites matter to you, how long to linger at each one, and what else to add. The guide handles the route and timing so the day holds together without you planning it yourself.
If you book the Private Guide and Car option, transportation between sites is arranged and your hotel pickup is included. You pay only admission fees as you go. If you choose the guide-only version, you'll use Bangkok's public transportation network, which the guide knows well and can navigate with you. Either way, the guide speaks English and can adjust the pace on the fly. If you want to spend an extra hour in Chinatown exploring the narrow alleys and street food, or cut a temple visit short, that works within your service hours. Overtime runs 300 THB per hour if you want to extend beyond your initial booking.
The tour runs for either 6 or 8 hours depending on which option you choose at checkout. Accident insurance is included. Infants can ride on an adult's lap, and the tour suits all fitness levels, though it's not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries or cardiovascular concerns.
Is this one for you?Choose the Private Guide and Car option if you want hotel pickup and transportation handled so you can focus on the sites themselves. Pick Private Guide Only if you're comfortable with Bangkok's public transit and want to keep costs down. The guide knows the system and travels with you.

Top questions
Can children come?
Yes. Ticket types: Child (4 to 13 years); Infant (under 4): free.
What happens if it rains?
It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.
Can I visit temples and markets I choose instead of a set itinerary?
Yes. The sample itinerary lists temples like the Temple of the Emerald Buddha and the Temple of the Dawn, plus Pak Klong Talad Flower Market and Bangkok Chinatown, but you're free to visit any sites within Bangkok that interest you. The guide recommends the best route based on what you want to see.
What's the difference between the Private Guide Only and Private Guide and Car options?
Private Guide Only means you use Bangkok's public transportation to move between sites and pay for it directly. The guide travels with you and knows the system. Private Guide and Car includes a vehicle and driver, hotel pickup and drop-off, so you only pay admission fees on the day. Both come with an English-speaking guide.
Do I need to pay for temples and attractions upfront?
No. Admission fees for temples, markets and other sites are paid directly on the tour day as you visit. The guide can tell you what each site costs so you can budget accordingly.
Is hotel pickup included?
Hotel pickup and drop-off are included only with the Private Guide and Car option. If you book Private Guide Only, you'll arrange your own meeting point with the guide.
How long does the tour last?
You can book either 6 hours or 8 hours. You choose your duration and your option type (guide only or guide with car) at checkout. If you want to stay longer, overtime is available at 300 THB per hour.
What if I want to eat lunch during the tour?
You can stop for lunch at any point. If you eat together with the guide, you're expected to cover the guide's meal as well. Tip for the guide and driver (if you book the car option) is your choice.
