Long tail boat through the canals of Bangkok. Fascinating seeing river life and the 69 metre golden Buddha was incredible. Slightly disappointed with the Artists House - thought it would be similar to Jim Thompson’s house but rather a tourist trap. Pam our guide was great and very informative. Would definitely recommend.

"This experience should not be missed!!! Most definitely the highlight of our stay in Bangkok!
Since it was off season, the canals were almost serene as we navigated through the village, in our long boat. The rocket boat, or as Jill calls it the 007 boat, was a blast!!! You must slow down, if you see villagers out on their dock areas, as the elders could be resting….
Jill, our guide, made our day very special, with her care and attention to detail, and with her knowledgeable and passionate understanding of the rural village. I wish I could give 100 stars!

It was a fantastic trip and we had the modt wonderful guide! I tgink his name was Johanne. Would have liked more time at the Artist House but apart from that we absolutely loved it!

This longboat khlong tour was an interesting way to see a bit of Bangkok's canal-side life. Our nice guide, Fern, was helpful and managed things under sometimes challenging conditions. The only drawback was in the difficulty hearing her narration and announcements over the boat noises. But overall, a fun experience!

Our tour guide Patchara was oustanding. A lovely person with a vast local knowledge and a great sense of humour. We were picked up on time and taken to the River Chao Phraya where we boarded the express boat. After this we boarded two smaller boats a Long Tail boat and a rocket boat to navigate through the smaller canals. This gave us a fantastic insight into the rural waterways and lives of the local population. We also visited a market and a temple along the way and had a lovely meal beside the river. A great excursion which we'd thoroughly recommend, you won't regret it!

We had just landed, we were tired but this day was a real pleasure with a great guide, friendly, competent and very professional. I highly recommend this refreshing outing and Neera our great guide.
Darlene D.
Excellent and unique Bangkok experience, we loved floating through the canals and enjoying views of Buddhist temples and teak houses. The lunch was authentic and very tasty. Thanks!
Carolyn S.
Amazing experience! The guide is fantastic! You just have to relax and enjoy the ride! This tour really lets you discover some great places frequented by locals. The value for money is unbeatable. The guide takes care of everything, and you don't need to buy anything yourself! (Fruit, offerings, street food, and even bottled water are included!) We highly recommend it!
Francis R.
Loved my experience. Our tour guide Yohan was so friendly, informative and funny he really made the experience special.
Janice M.
A fabulous tour with Jill who was super knowledgeable, attentive and funny. We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this tour which included taste testing food at a local market - no other tourists anywhere so we got the real deal, enjoying traditional lunch at a small cafe on the river and the highlight for us was visiting the Buddhist Temple and learning so much about the Buddhas. Most of the sightseeing was on the Long Boat, passing many villages which was definitely a different experience. The tour took about 6 hours. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting something a bit different …. Worth every cent

This was a great tour that I would highly recommend. It’s a great introduction to Bangkok culture especially if you’re a little bit jetlagged and you’re looking to start your adventure but not overdue.
Kenneth M.
Really nice easy tour with very good life jackets and great chatty guide. Would recommend and way cheaper than buying direct.

I’ve been to Bangkok many times, but never had an experience like this. Aeh was a truly amazing guide, he went above and beyond and he knew EVERYTHING. Aeh stayed attuned to my interests and dietary requirements, which made me feel very comfortable and kept the trip extremely interesting. He answered all my questions with professionalism and he pointed out things he somehow knew that I’d like. At first I thought the tour may be overpriced, but it’s worth penny. After the tour, Aeh dropped me off at a place I wanted to go but I didn’t know how to get to - he was just excellent and a great human being overall.
Paul W.
Very sufficient and convenient. Is a must to use if you are going to all major attraction along the Chaopraya River.
Maria B.
The long boat ride is an excellent experience, an opportunity to see a part of Bangkok you would otherwise not see. Our host, Bella, is informative, engaging, and funny. So glad we did this. It’s definitely worth the investment and then some.
Jo M.
This was a last minute booking, so didn't fully know what to expect. Actually had a great time, it was interesting to see another side to Bangkok. The big Buddha stop was good but the artists house area was great. Would have liked longer there but never mind. Be warned that it takes a little while to get through the canal lock but it's part of the fun!
Edgar L.
I absolutely loved this outing. I saw so much and learnt a lot from our wonderful guide. It is definitely worth doing. You won’t regret going on this Boat Canal Cruise.
Jessie J.
Our guide, Bella, was lovely. She was always trying to lighten the group’s mood with jokes and making small talk during the boat ride. She happily answered all our questions, and she offered to take photos of our family multiple times throughout the tour. They give you 30 minutes to have a look around the market and you get to see the Big Buddha during this trip too. We got to feed the fish and do some market shopping. My parents were also able to meet a monk, which was the highlight of the tour for them. The tour is short but is as described.
Teresa B.
It is an amazing way to see parts of Bangkok from an incredible vantage point. The Buddha was beautiful to see, I even had the chance to feed catfish when we stopped to explore the canal market & have a beer delivered to the boat by a local floating merchant.
Anita L.
It was the perfect excursion! Having lived in Bangkok for three months, I wanted to show my mother the city, but I also learned so much myself. The tour was just for the two of us and far from the usual tourist routes: it allowed us to see hidden corners of Bangkok as well as must-see sights. We traveled by tuk-tuk. We started at a local market where we enjoyed fresh fruit, then visited several temples before taking a boat trip on the khlongs (canals). We finished at the flower market. It was truly fantastic, my advice: go for it! Our guide was lovely and very attentive.
Sandra M.
A truly perfect tour with Bo! Ideal for Bangkok first-timers! Includes a market visit, tuk-tuk ride, side canal boat trip, Big Buddha visit, and much more. Plus, a bit off the beaten track! Bo does a fantastic job!
