“Amazing Experience!”
We booked Saroj for a 2 day tour in Bangkok on our holiday touring around Thailand. We couldn’t have wished for a more informative professional guide and an amazing person. If you only have a few days in Bangkok and want to see as much as possible this is definitely the way to do it. Our trips to the temples, floating market, railway market and our evening trips to Chinatown and the river cruise were amazing, all perfectly arranged by Saroj who is an absolute gentleman and so knowledgeable about everything in his country. Everything was so well arranged with us being picked up from our hotel and driven to all sights with plenty of time see everything and learn about the culture and customs of the sights and the Thai people. We couldn’t have possibly arranged so much on our own in our short time in Bangkok and it was honestly the highlight of our holiday and excellent value for money. If you’re visiting Bangkok and want to see the sights book Saroj, you won’t be disappointed!.

Saroj Y.
Wow, thank you for such a heartwarming review! I am truly humbled by your kind words. It was my absolute pleasure to show you the best of Bangkok, from the bustling markets to the peaceful temples. Knowing that our 2 days together were the highlight of your holiday makes my job so rewarding. Thank you for trusting me as your guide and friend. I hope to welcome you back to Thailand one day!

“Bangkok in a day”
This was my first booking with GwG and Saroj was just a random pick of the guides available. I can only say what a great experience it was from the pre-booking to more importantly the day of the tour. Due to the passing of the Thai Queen Mother the Grand Palace was closed to visitors however that didn't stop Saroj delivering a fantastic tour of Bangkok in the 10 hours we had him & the driver. We enjoyed the experience that much that we booked another guide for Hong Kong later on our trip. Saroj was an excellent guide, flexible in doing what we wanted to do and just good company throughout the day. I would highly recommend both if you have a short time in Bangkok.
Saroj Y.
Dear Keith, It was my absolute pleasure to be your guide. I’m glad I could make your short time in Bangkok memorable despite the unexpected changes. Thank you for trusting me and for your high recommendation. Best regards, Saroj

“Informative tour hosted by an attentive and engaging guide.”
Saroj made everything about this tour enjoyable and hassle-free. His pre-tour communication was clear and concise. On the day, he was obliging and showed flexibility to meet our wishes as the tour evolved. He offered options. Saroj is very easy to get on with and he is an informative guide with a good sense of humour.
Saroj Y.
Thank you very much for your thoughtful review! I am delighted to hear that you enjoyed your Ayutthaya UNESCO World Heritage tour and appreciated the flexibility and guidance throughout the day. It was a pleasure to have you exploring Wat Yai Chaimongkol, Wat Mahathat, Wat Phra Si Sanphet, Wat Chaiwatthanaram, Ayothaya Floating Market, and the local Tuk Tuk ride around the old city. Your kind words mean a lot — I'm glad you found the tour both informative and enjoyable. I hope to welcome you again soon for another wonderful journey in Thailand! Best regards, Saroj
