What to expect

Through the sprawling city of Bangkok, with its towers and skyscrapers, a network of waterways flow peacefully allowing locals and tourists to glide through the silent waters and experience the devoted soul of the city, besides the cosmopolitan one.

Your tour will begin by walking down the Pier on the Chao Phraya River, commonly known as the River of Kings, to board a longtail boat. You will then be able to experience why Bangkok is known as the "Venice of the East" while gliding through the network of ‘khlongs’, or canals. In clear contrast with the busy streets and chaos of the city, you will have the chance to see how small communities live in the small settlements in this area. You'll then head over to the Grand Palace. The stunning palace grounds feel almost unreal with their colours and amazing architecture. You will learn everything about the Palace and the most sacred Buddhist temple in Thailand, Wat Phra Kaew, thanks to your local guide. You will then move on to your last stop at Wat Po, another beautiful temple home to the famous golden reclining Buddha and is the birthplace of traditional Thai massage.

To take your experience to the next level you can choose to have a private guide, just for you and your group! Simply select the option you prefer at checkout.
