Tong is already booked - please help

My young family and I are travelling to Bangkok in January for 2 nights and I%26#39;ve emailed Tong to organise a tour but she is already booked. Can you anyone recommend another guide in Tong%26#39;s team which is also good? We are only there for 2 full days so I want to make sure we see the best sights with a really good guide.

Hi Simmo,



Try Jan, she has been excellent in communicating with me about tours for next year.



We have booked her for day trips around the city and also a day tip to Railway Market, Floating Market and Bridge on the River Kwai.



Her e-mail is noobo@yahoo.com



Cheers,



Stewie.

We just did a tour with Chob at www.thaitourguide.com, and he was fantastic. Told us everything about how to enjoy Bangkok, how to get around, customs, food, and also gave us a great tour of the Grand Palace, Emerald Buddha, and Reclining Budda, together with a long boat ride on the Klongs. Best tour guide we%26#39;ve had in a long time.









We have done several tours with Grasshopper Adventure Tours in Thailand. They are a fabulous little Aussie owned and operated business. Check out their website. www.grasshopperadventures.com. Grasshopper also work with local guides. I promise you won%26#39;t be disappointed if you do a tour with Grasshopper. I think their tours are better value than Tong%26#39;s and Jason always responds to emails.



Grasshopper does cycling tours, walking tours, anything to suite your needs. FYI am joining yet another Grasshopper Tour through Vietnam in 4 weeks! Can%26#39;t wait.

Hi





we have been in contact with Wandee and Linda from there is very prompt in answering our emails. The prices that are quoted seem comparable with other tours. We are opting for private tours for our 3 days in Bangkok in November.





enjoy your stay









Thanks everyone for all of your recommendations, I%26#39;m sure to find a good guide now.









All the guides in Tong%26#39;s team are excellent. Have a great holiday.









SimmoAusie:



I%26#39;ve used Siddhi a few times. He is listed in one of the above posts. Really knowledgeable, excellant English skills and as another poster wrote on a previous thread, he has a sense of humor that would rival Saturday Night Live. My teenage niece who traveled with us just loved him.





Email is siddhided@gmail.com
